On the Pros/Cons slide there is mention that the US may be losing the UAP race. My thoughts went straight to the Alaska UAP shoot down during the Chinese ‘balloon’ incidents.
That event stays on my mind thinking about the current state of the topic. It seemed to be a turning point in how the government was addressing UAP. David Grusch had already spoken to the ICIG and provided info to Congress, though I don't know that he spoke directly to any member of Congress. However, the sightings and shoot down last year seemed like the turning point. It either reaffirmed something they were already suspecting after Grusch came forward or it showed that they really don't know what's going on. And, to your comment, Grusch has mentioned adversaries possessing or researching UAP.
