The U.S. is concealing a longstanding program that retrieves and reverse engineers unidentified flying objects, a former Air Force intelligence officer testified in front of Congress.
It’s abundantly clear that there are plenty of loons walking among us, and that fame, wealth, and authority absolutely do not exclude a person from being a loon.
I’m not saying David Grusch is a loon. I’m saying that, between “there is a government conspiracy to hide the fact that actual intelligent extraterrestrial beings are visiting Earth, and the government is collecting their technology and reverse engineering it” and “the guy who truly believes that is a loon,” one of those statements is far more likely to be true than the other one. One of those statements would require a huge number of people to be completely silent about such a thing for decades, and the other would require one loon to believe it.
I bet the people who think the government is reverse engineering alien technology in perfect secrecy are also people who think the government is too incompetent to do anything right.
Legislative government and government-funded military aren’t the same thing. If the United States had access to alien technology first, hoarding it in secrecy would be a textbook military move.
It wouldn’t just be the US government. If alien artifacts are as common as some people make them out to be, every government in the world would have to not only be in on the conspiracy, but also doing their part masterfully in an age when everyone has a phone in their pocket capable of broadcasting to the whole world.
It’s even worse if they’re actually succeeding in reverse engineering alien technology, because they’d have to either never use it, or fake something like the Manhattan Project to explain where the technology came from.
Getting back to the idiocy of people who think governments can’t do anything right, those same people are often big fans on the military and law enforcement, completely failing to acknowledge that those things are functions of the government, because that would mean admitting the government can, in fact, do some things really well.
