A House subcommittee is holding a hearing Wednesday to pressure the executive branch to release more information about unidentified anomalous phenomena.
I'm waiting for the government to put up or shut up on this, but I watched the hearing and some of those claims were very, very extraordinary. Just balls out claiming that we recovered ships and non-earth origin biologics on board them, planning to give Congress a list of witnesses to interview in closed sessions etc. It could all be a big lie, but I find it hard to imagine the utility of it.

Politicians get positive screen time and headlines acting like they care about 'transparency' in a context that won't effect them politically or their donors financially. They get to say a bunch of open-minded sounding but totally non-committal stuff about 'getting the public the answers they deserve' but they don't have to followup on anything. It's a bipartisan public brownie-points bonanza, plus it's a distraction from more controversial problems they should be addressing so of course they're going 'all-in'.
Yeah, it's free votes from nutbags with very little risk. Everyone involved is "just asking questions". Plus it distracts from actual issues (hottest 3 weeks on record).
Camera technology has advanced so fast we have 4K videos of every battle in Ukraine. 95% of people have a good video camera on them at all times. Some people literally film every aspect of their lives and post it online.
If there were alien spaceships buzzing Earth, it would be in the background of Instagram videos within days. People would capture them inadvertently.
EDIT: I was sure I'd read this but on further research that doesn't appear to be the case. I can't find any reference that he's writing or has written a book on the subject. I think what I read is he's following a similar pattern to people over the decades who previously worked in some government position and make similarly understand claims to drum up attention and then publish a book.
Okay, but where I find a hole in this theory is that you've got two other guys at the hearing today who are both in the military and speaking on this. I'm curious if they're related to Grusch in some way.
Those guys as far as I understand are reporting personal experiences with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. So they probably really did encounter something unusual in the skies.
