The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.

LOL, more distraction from one party's inability to do their freaking job. It's funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet "crash" and 2) These "crashes" only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.

tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it's painful at times.

Republicans are foaming at the mouth to cut medicare and anything else that helps people while throwing trillions at the military. This is a great justification for their dumbass base that will believe any conspiracy they are instructed to

This is a bipartisan issue, Republicans and Democrats alike were questioning the witnesses, however I do agree with you that this is a distraction.

How is this guy a "whistle blower" if he's never seen any actual evidence? So dumb.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago

My interpretation is that it's mostly half-truths.

Do I think governments and militaries around the world have plans for such scenarios? Like retrieving UFOs? Yes, this seems reasonable. Do I think they have run exercises and tested those scenarios for real? Probably, yes. Most likely successfully so. Do I believe that someone with a lot of hearsay could interpret those things as "holy shit, they actually found something"? Yes, yes I do.

Is any of this proof? Nope. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Neil deGrasse Tyson said if you get taken up to a UFO, you should steal something.

Thats probably why I never get abducted, I'm def the type to steal some shit from people who kidnap me.

what do you have to lose? they probably already took your dignity during the experiments. might as well take something back.

The aliens look just like us but are attracted to positions of power and clearly have no idea how their job works.

Not only clickbait, but also:

There's nothing new to discuss.

Quite vague. Nonhuman biologics can be anything. Grass, bacteria, mold, cats...

Noneartly biologics would be more interesting.
