I watched this new whistleblower guys testimony and for the first time I actually believe what’s being presented. Elizondo comes off as a grifter/actor, but I don’t know. Something about this testimony feels honest and real. Not another complete embarrassment like Jake Barber / Skywatcher crew just trying to get a new show like skinwalker ranch going. Him talking about covert spy satellites making up a lot of UAP stuff made good sense to me, and some of the more incredible stuff like the Russians studying perhaps even interacting with UAP phenomena really made my jaw drop. Learning about the secret internet within the pentagon was really cool. It feels like a crime to withhold all that knowledge from the public though, But I don’t know anything. What do you smart people out there think is going on?

We’ll see, all this congressional testimony in skifs , laws drawn up for whistleblowers, video, etc seems like a giant waste of time / money if it’s ALL fake. Just curious do you guys just dismiss everything sight unseen or actually take the time to learn about new claims? I do think 99% are likely black projects, but I also think that the universe is so big that over the course of humanity some kind of space amoeba or drone or something has come by. And that is the kind of thing, if I was a government, that I’d want to control. I also don’t shut myself off from information just because a source isn’t verified yet, I like to give them a chance to present more. If you watch the gofast/gimbal/etc videos / pilots across the globe reporting anomalies, and don’t at least raise an eyebrow at the technology that WE apparently have, I don’t know. I think a lot of people don’t even want to pay attention because it would hurt their world view that they have everything figured out. That makes me a bit skeptical of your call to just not pay attention until there’s evidence. We had to fight for evidence for decades, many many times, that was only declassified 20-30 years later. Going through history the gov has time and time again covered big things up until presented in court with video/photo evidence or the results of physical harm crop up - and only then would own up to it. I think we’re going to get incontestable proof within the next 5-10 years, but we’ll see.
