The Guardian had live reporting of the hearing. If you Google “uap hearing” pretty much every major outlet covered it. Doesn’t need to be a front page headline for it to add noise to the chaos of the world.


You have to know that the hearing was happening or even what a UAP was to google it in the first place.

I asked around all day today and no one knew anything about it. They didn’t even know what UAPs were. There are so many other things that are distractions and it’s just not is on the top of the list.

but the thing is, we had government and military officials saying that they were actually alien craft, and they said this under oath, and everyone’s acting like this is nothing.

I did not expect this at all at the hearing because they were under oath, so this is what surprised me so much. I can understand someone not believing anyone saying something on YouTube or a random podcast but they were under oath and they were military officers.

I just don’t understand how no one sees this as something as insane as it is.


I think folks conflate too many wild things at once and dismiss them all.

I think there are some interesting questions and folks with pretty good credentials that have came out and given some interesting answers to some of these.

* Are there craft that defy the laws of physics as we know them today?

* Do any governments or corporations have access to these crafts, partially or whole?

* Do those governments or corporations have control over those crafts?

* Were those crafts ever intelligently controlled?

* What type of intelligence controlled those crafts? Is it biological?

* If biological, what is the source or origin?

One of the witnesses at the hearing today, Cmdr. Dave Fravor (Retired), seems like a really normal guy, not some previous "UFO nut" out to confirm an existing bias.

He said what he saw was amazing, it defied anything he had ever saw, and as a pilot himself... he wished he could pilot it. He flew up next to the damn thing.

Now whether these are illusions or not, whether they defy the laws of physics as we currently know them, I don't know... but these folks have stated that there are up close photos as well as radar data that backs up their claims that should be released to the public.

I like to think that I still retain a chunk of that curiosity that I had as a kid. I can be a skeptic at work and professionally.. but I don't know how we can advance science past a stalemate if we can't suspend disbelief for a minute here or there and entertain the idea that there are some wilddddddd things we may not currently know about.

I think we should potentially waste some time and always follow these leads.

In the off chance that they were ever true, I wouldn't want to be in the group that just dismissed it because of my own ego.

If they're false, let them sell books and make YouTube videos for the rest of their lives. But we shouldn't just dismiss them outright... especially if they're willing to go under oath and have specific directions to point.
