Its all because of the Grusch hearing/whistleblowing.
Maybe there are aliens, maybe not, but either way the DoD has been hiding things from congress which is a no-go.
Even with all that aside its nice to have some bipartisanship going on for once.
In the likely event of "not," conspiraturds will never believe it.
I'm pretty sure Beyonce exists, I just don't think she visited your house. Regardless of how many grainy photos you have of "unidentified people" driving by.
Exactly. To look at the mind-numbing vastness of just our galaxy let alone the hundreds of billions of others and think we're the only ones is the height of hubris. Are they here zipping around in little silver balls that defy all known laws of physics kidnapping hillbillies and mutilating cattle? No, that's conspiracy theory nonsense. Maybe the US government is being overzealous in classifying things, but that doesn't mean it's aliens, even if some guy with security clearance said, "Yeah, they're totally real. Trust me, guys."
It's got nothing to do with hubris. We don't know the probability of technological life developing.
