Guys, there are no aliens visiting us from another planet. This is absurd.

The world would stop dead in its tracks with proof of alien contact on earth. It would be the biggest story in the history of mankind. Does anybody think something of that magnitude would ever come out of a congressional hearing? C'mon man!

There is a clear insinuation that "aliens" are involved, or at least a deliberate effort to confuse the public....

From the hearing:

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL): "the American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence and unexplainable phenomena."

And:

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) questioning witness David Grusch, U.S. military combat veteran and Pentagon intelligence officer: "You've said the U.S. has intact spacecraft. You said that the government has alien bodies or alien species. Have you seen the spacecraft? [...] Have you seen any of the bodies?"

"That's not something I have witnessed myself," Grusch replied. But he answered a subsequent question by stating definitively that, when it comes to UAP crash retrievals, "biologics came with some of these recoveries." Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) pushed Grusch if he meant human or non-human. "Non-human, and that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to," Grusch replied.

UFO has always referred to alien technology until recently. UFO and flying saucer were nearly synonymous for decades. Obviously if you break down the actual words it doesn’t specify alien but in common use for half a century that was the intent. If you just can’t identify it and you it flew by it technically a UFO or whatever the current stupid acronym is. Nobody gives a shit if these sightings are human technology. Nobody. A Chinese drone isn’t a fascinating story to anyone other than a military threat planner. Over time they have subtly altered this to sound like aliens but mean just about anything airborne that isn't readily identifiable.

Until very recently if you used the term UFO everyone knew you were talking about ET. And this entire thread is predicated on aliens. The OP isn’t jazzed about Chinese drone tech. Unless that drone tech was reverse engineered from an alien spaceship. Which is fucking laughable.

Seriously???
I knew a guy, who heard about it, who once worked there....
Blah, blah, blah... hearsay.
No evidence.

Sleep well,DoD says they've investigated the ufo sightings and most are easily explained.

On the DoD web link, a couple of ufo videos are posted with the explanation.

In July 2022 the Defense Department set up the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to, among other things, identify unidentified anomalous phenomena that might pose a threat to national security and the operations of the military and federal agencies.
UAP are anything in space, in the air, on land, in the sea or under the sea that can't be identified and might pose a threat to U.S. military installations or operations.

Sean M. Kirkpatrick, director of AARO, testified today at the Senate Armed Services Committee's Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.

"I should also state clearly for the record that in our research, AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics," he said.
