COVID demonstrated outsiders sometimes get it more right than insiders. There are credible stories from credible people that need attention. IMO … First and foremost, the incidents that these sincere actors have described and are periodically captured on video represent and should be treated as - national security threats.

I generally lean in on believing fighter pilots and submariners with everything to lose when they choose to risk vocalizing their experiences to their chain of command. I just don’t think we can draw a straight line between all their stories and alien life just yet and they don't always jump to that conclusion either. They want answers just as much as the next guy.

There is also … a whole lot of grifting and lies infecting the UFO community. If anyone is up to the task of discerning between fact and fiction, I have no doubt @walterkirn is the guy. Nothing has been black and white on this issue. Videos released without explanation, often released during unfavorable news cycles, and trumpeted by the same set of inter-connected alien-chasers should not be propagated as evidence.

COVID also taught us how to identify PsyOps… We shouldn’t forget hard fought lessons.

If the government doesn’t provide first hand evidence of biologics, evidence of a crash retrieval program, or any object that is the subject of an ongoing reverse engineering program … treat it as a known unknown, a lie, a mistake, or a grift until proven otherwise.
