I want to believe. ​ But I'm trying to figure out what lie to believe.

I'm going to be the pedantic a-hole. He didn't claim that aliens exist. He claimed that he saw documents that said aliens exist and spoke to individuals that supported this. None of which takes away from the gravity of his testimony or yesterday's hearing.

To be pedantic you have to be correct. There’s been no mention of aliens/ETs. The phrasing has strictly been non-human intelligence.

Biologics too. But yeah, you're correct. Never said aliens/ETs.

What the fuck is a biologic.. for us in the back

Biologics are essentially bioengineered androids of whatever species.. thibk of Borgs kinda.. for example some people claim that in some Mantis abductions, the mantis aliens are usually in control, have a calming energy, and the little "greys" are kind of a one-track minded worker bee that does a lot of field stuff or have a specific duty. It gets deeper when you read claims about how the woo ties into all this ... others claim that sentient beings are essentially uploading their minds into 'biologics' maybe to withstand the physics of our universe or earth's atmosphere

SHRUG EMOJI GUY I guess a fancy way to say "aliens" so respectable people don't have to sully their reputation by actually saying "aliens". Just like we have a dozen highfalutin terms for "flying saucer".

"Alien" is a narrower term that precludes things like crypto-terrestrials, extra-dimensionals, and so on.

He did not claim to see documentaries... He interviewed over 40 sources with first hand knowledge and experiences. Don't spread your ignorance. The dude was the head of the AARO (All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office) if anyone is in the know it's him and he's on record claiming as fact that we have recovered multiple craft as well as biologicals.
View on Reddit #6267556

ZincFishExplosion@reddit

Documents not documentaries. I also said that he spoke to individuals. He made it clear that he himself did not have first hand experience with any non-human biologics.

His testimony given under penalty of perjury. That's pretty fucking compelling given his stature and reputation.

warriormango1@reddit

So if you were on Jury duty and someone makes a claim under oath you're going to say that's pretty compelling correct? I can think of a number of high up people that had the credentials that lied under oath.

Lol yeah dude you better take witness testimony seriously in a trial if you’re a juror, that’s your job you idiot. You’re arguing that you should dismiss all expert witness testimony in a trial setting just because some people have perjured themselves in the past? What. I hope you’re never on a jury with that attitude
View on Reddit #6264640

Greasytuesday@reddit

Witness testimony is the weakest form of evidence and has been showed time and time again to be wildly untrustworthy. It's not proof of anything unless corroborated with physical evidence. Which none of these 40+ people can provide.
View on Reddit #6278069

Striking-Line-4994@reddit

Aaaannnd yet people are still convicted with witness testimony every day. If it's good enough for justice (while not perfect) why is this any different?
View on Reddit #6325373

Greasytuesday@reddit

It's not good enough for justice. It's a travesty every time someone is convicted on eyewitness testimony alone.
View on Reddit #6326446

LeahJefferson@reddit

Documents have been given to the IC inspector general who deemed Grusch’s story to be “urgent and credible”
View on Reddit #6283954

Greasytuesday@reddit

Documents huh?
View on Reddit #6293000

LeahJefferson@reddit

> According to the unclassified complaint, in July 2021, Grusch had confidentially provided classified information to the Department of Defense Inspector General concerning the withholding of UAP-related information from Congress. He believed that his identity, and the fact that he had provided testimony, were disclosed “to individuals and/or entities” within the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community outside the IG’s office. He did not allege that this information was improperly disclosed by any member of that office. Grusch clarified that actual evidence was overturned during the hearing.

You seem intelligent, you know how they say you should never argue with a stupid person? Well, this conversation just reached that point.
View on Reddit #6265116

World_May_Wobble@reddit

People are putting a lot of wait on this oath thing, but how likely is perjury to result in any conviction here? 1) My understanding is that perjury is rarely prosecuted in the first place. 2) The government would presumably have to prove things like 'non-human biologics were not recovered from crash sites'. How exactly would they go about that, and would they be willing to?

KangarooMaster319@reddit

What did he actually say? I can comfortably say under penalty of perjury that my parents told me Santa Clause was real, and I’m not perjuring myself, but that doesn’t mean it’s true.
View on Reddit #6246372

Appropriate_End757@reddit

He said he had a list of 40 direct witness and people working on theses recovery program + photographic proof that he can handle to to the congressmen in a scif (close audition with clearance). He presented these proofs and name to the general inspector of intelligence who found them credible.
View on Reddit #6249100

warriormango1@reddit

They weren't granted SCIF though. Who are the 40 direct witnesses and where is the scientific proof? My parents told me they were presented with proof of santa clause and im perfectly comfortable saying that under oath. Youre going to believe me right?
View on Reddit #6253316

Appropriate_End757@reddit

If you tell me that they have picture of it, addresses and name of people that are fixing Santa ´s chariot. And you will give me this proof once i’m cleared. And that you will go to jail if you have lied. Unless you look really mad and have nothing to lose, I will believe you. You believe in a lot of things with much less proof than that, where you just believe someone of autority that tell you it’s « credible ». They will be granted scif. And say yes it’s credible and will investigate further. As the ICiG did.
View on Reddit #6255118

warriormango1@reddit

The people who told me Santa is real have pictures, addresses, and names. Unfortunately I cannot provide them to you at the moment. You believe me right? At this moment you are arguing in my defense that Santa is real correct? My understanding is SCIF was denied. Also, dont you think its weird that the wording changed from his original whistle blower report to the actual hearing yesterday?

ThisOnes4JJ@reddit

Cool so it was this guy and +40 *other* people presenting evidence! That's crazy, I heard it was just one guy saying "the government has the proof and I know it and have seen it... but can't show you any of it"

To the people downvoting you. You just can not show pictures and adresses ina public hearing, or he would go to jail or probably get killed. He gave the congress locations, names of generals and dates in private. Before downvoting maybe look up stuff huh?

If you warned people to buy toilet paper in April 2019 you would get downvotes too. I strongly suggest we all get acquainted with the concept of our discussions making people uncomfortable. They want to press the disagree button to feel better and that's all.

"CERTAINLY doesn't count for nothing. Surely you can admit that." Not sure what you mean here, but I will wait for proof rather than take something simply on face value. -Not saying he isnt legit, but proof is everyting in this.

For your knowledge, the location referenced is a SCIF, or sensitive compartmented information facility. This is a facility specifically accredited to allow for the discussion and processing of SCI-classified information.

INBOXED1111@reddit

SCIF’s do not need to be faraday cages to be accredited. Many SCIF’s reside in seemingly regular office buildings. Plenty of sensors are allowed within SCIF’s, from health and safety sensors in the ceiling to (properly classified) VTC suites and computer networks.

Sorry but it's all nonsense until we get hard proof. I can't suspend disbelief that superior advanced beings somehow got captured by us. That's like a human somehow getting captured by a sloth and that's not even a fair comparison.

A dead human could definitely be caught by a sloth.

True. I guess if we assume the aliens under estimated our technology and it was shot down or it died of natural causes?
View on Reddit #6284234

mispeeledusername@reddit

Yeah I mean if it happened then I have to assume the alien died somehow. Maybe simple error (didn’t know how to pilot very well) or machine failure (even if a machine is far advanced to ours, the laws of physics still would likely apply so some part or parts of the machine are prone to failure without the proper maintenance. Or a good old fashioned flock of birds.
