    To date, AARO has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

    What if their process for verification is impossible to conduct or they have it set up so its not verified until the reports recieved but the report can never be produced or received so its a catch-42

    They cannot tell a lie

    Luis Elizondo is a Department of Defense insider

    Knew it before I clicked…

    Anytime you see an article about how some high level government guy just admitted we have aliens, it’s always this guy.

    I dont know why the media always like it’s a new development, he’s been saying this for a very long time

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Elizondo

    It’s like how you’ll see “Harvard Professor” or “Ivy League professor” and immediately know it’s Avi Loeb

    There’s definitely weird shit going around with Elizondo tho, like his dad being a US spook working against Cuba, the DoD disavowing him, and high ranking politicians backing his claims about DoD related work that the DoD was denying

    I can’t believe that a conspiracy this fucking big would have one person whose spent 8 years screaming at anyone who will listen, and the government just lets him keep going but not a single other person from that program came forward to back him up.

    Like, DoD looks into all types of shit. The Men Who Stare at Goats was based on a true story about the DoD trying to recurit clairvoyants and people with telekeniss.

    Even tho it never pans out, it’s still classified for decades. I think that’s what’s going on. He really ran that goverment program and they really did try to find aliens

    I just don’t think they actually did, and while the DoD can’t disclose what was or wasn’t done, they also can’t stop this guy from saying random shit. But they could stop him if it was real, be cause then it would be disclosing classified material

    That’s my biggest argument for why it’s bullshit.

      As a counterpoint, having just this one guy scream all he wants about it for years without follow up makes him sound crazy or a liar and helps them keep stuff under wraps. He probably unintentionally helps them by diverting the attention to him while they work to make sure the people with actual hard evidence can’t come out.
