He could say anything was found, and he could actually believe it. None of that matters without physical evidence.

Even if he showed up to the hearing dragging the corpse of a grey floating in a tank on a wagon behind him, people wouldn't believe it. I think we're well past the point where it really matters in a practical sense anymore.

At least the History Channel will get to update their 'Ancient Alien' content catalog with some new footage from all this nonsense.

See, hearing about this tells me that somewhere, they catastrophically fucked up; and this 'non-human biologics' nonsense is whole cloth to distract from it until proper spin can be applied to whatever catastrophically fucked.

I don't think it's a collective or organized 'they', probably just a few guys that didn't appreciate Grusch nosing in on their legitimate classified operations- reverse engineering downed Chinese balloons and whatnot, so they fed him a big fish that had enough truth to sell it but also crazy enough to 'decommission' Grusch when he started repeating the crazy parts.

@seasonone Why are ostensibly serious governments wasting time on this ridiculous nonsense? Don’t they have real governing to do?

@goatsarah @seasonone Not sure the US government has been ostensibly serious for some years

@ajlanes @seasonone Fair point. These are, after all, the same people who ran projects to bring down the Soviet Union with telepathy or some shit.

Are you claiming that the radars conspired with the pilots to malfunction in a way that was consistent with their alleged ineptitude to not be able to identify a “far away plane” ?

Otherwise I don’t see what is ridiculous.

@5BC2E7 I’m claiming that anyone taking “little green men are visiting earth” (or rather the US, it’s always the US, to anally probe them. Reveals something about American society, that does) seriously is a fucking idiot.
