WHO?
David Grusch? The whistleblower who just testified before the House Oversight Committee.
But who is "they?"
Everybody. Grusch is broadly supporting UFO folklore. Roswell-type stories of crashed UFOs with pilots in them, rogue reverse-engineering efforts, elected officials kept in the dark, the whole nine yards.
What is your take on it? Everything Grusch has said just lines up too perfectly with the already established lore, and his closeness to people who are far too invested into the subject has me thinking that its all a setup.
I still can't figure out what the motive is though.
Your guess is as good as mine. The simplest explanation for why Grusch's testimony matches the general UFO lore is that... the basic story is true: the presence of aliens, the reverse engineering, the coverup.
It's not the only explanation, for sure, but I can't think of any parsimonious way to explain why so many people whose jobs would plausibly five them access to this sort of information have been repeating the same story over the decades.
It could be a cult, but by whom, for what ulterior purpose? And how would this hypothetical cult convince high-ranking officials to join them?
Like I said, I can't think of a coherent alternative explanation. Aliens may simply be true, weird as it sounds.
