It's weird isn't it? A public congressional hearing where people of apparently excellent reputation are making these claims about aircraft performing impossible manoeuvres, crashes, non-human remains being taken away to top secret programmes...

And then the public are just left hanging? I mean, why have it in public?

It's the first stage in a process.

We're brainwashed from a very young age to believe that god exists and that ET's do not

There's trillions of other planets out there

How anybody can seriously think that the little planet we live on is the only one with life out of trillions of others is beyond me

Roswell was not a balloon

When you've got retired high ranking military officials, astronauts and people that have been in the USAF for twenty years telling you these things exist you should listen

Why would somebody go to the effort of going to congress if what he's saying isn't true?

He's testifying under oath. If proved to be lying he could go to jail

But to say God doesn't exist is an opinion. I believe in God and I also believe we aren't the only life form.

Certainly a puzzlement.

I think it's the same as with paranormal phenomena. A lot of the reports can be discounted - there are plausible explanations. But there's a core of strangeness that seems to be inexplicable. I'm content to leave them as unexplained mysteries until such time as there's conclusive evidence as to what they truly are.

That's the thing with it all, could the psychological of humanity accept it all.

I found it interesting and there were some good questions asked.

So what happens now though? They go into a SKIFF, get the answers we aren't privy to, then what?

Pendle in Lancashire is also supposed to be a hotspot.

For years people have been told that they’re essentially nuts when reporting these things. Now apparently UFOs have always been a recognised thing…..

I find it interesting that sightings started to seriously escalate after we achieved nuclear status. Lots of reports around the desert test sites. Allegedly of course.

A healthy dose of scepticism is required, and that should be extended to analysing why these things have been elevated to congress level and public hearings, and why now?

I mean, it can’t possibly be a case of needing to fill up some time on the docket….

I think the bottom line is, humans are unlikely to know about x civilisations until I presume we reach certain mile stones of advancement.

That's my guess.

I am so behind on absolutely everything at the moment 😩 does anyone have a podcast recommendation, for this topic generally or the recent updates, so I can try to listen before I fall asleep?

Basically humans are not alone.

Oddly enough, the US actually has mechanisms that prevent Presidents being given access to absolutely everything. It can be useful because it gives them legitimate deniability, and protects them from potential fall out.

CIA black projects are commonly funded from off the book slush funds, and how the money is spent is left entirely to the discretion of the directors of these projects. The President doesn't need to know, and won't ever find out, because he never knows about the existence of specific projects in the first place. You can't demand transparency on a project that you are totally unaware exists.

Exactly, it's the perfect cover up.

The main thing that makes me suspicious of these men's testimonies is that if there are top secret government documents showing where the aliens are....wouldn't Trump have already boasted about having them, stored them in his bathroom, sold them to the highest bidder etc etc?

Indeed. There's nothing been talked about at the hearing that Lazar wasn't telling anyone who would listen about decades ago, the difference is, Lazar totally undermined his own credibility by significantly overstating his degree of involvement with, and access to, US secret programs. It's understandable why he might have done that for the purpose of lending plausibility to his claims and punting his books, but the fact remains, he hasn't produced anything of any substance that proves he is not just a complete fantasist out to make a quick buck.

That's a fair point.
I try to have the perspective of Fox Mulder trust myself but with others always be suspicious.

I don't dispute the fact the crafts are spotted. However, I don't believe that someone doesn't know exactly what they are.

They're never going to disclose their super secret technology to the world though are they (whoever they is)? They'd rather present us with news of "alien cadavers" and let us be distracted by that, than spill spy secrets. Too many of these incidents have occurred at airbases or near military craft for me to believe there's no link.

This is the US military saying it's not their military.

It’s like the latest Wes Anderson film has come to life. I do hope Jason Schwartzman and Scarlet Johansson are called as witnesses.
