Yesterday, several military personnel and a former intelligence agent were interrogated by politicians in the US. The interrogators were trying to figure out if the US was secretly in possession of information about extraterrestrials, UFOs.
During the questioning and under oath, these individuals clearly stated that the US is in possession of not only information, but also crashed UFO material and non-human bodies. They also described an aerial incident in which they had contact with a pill-shaped UFO that had
What’s special about this occasion is that never before such claims have been made under oath. If this were confirmed to be true, we’d be in front of the biggest event in the history of humanity. The existence of not only life, but another intelligent civilization would have massive consequences in our society.
Sadly, my personal bet is on the pessimistic side of the story. Most people are really excited about this news and they are too eager to trust anything that confirms their personal point of view. Sadly, «wanting to believe» is not enough to make something true. I think that for something like this to really be confirmed, we’d have to go through a battle against odds.
These individuals might be straight out lying: money is a good reason to position yourself as the *one* individual that knows «the truth». Even under oath. A couple books, TV interviews and Podcasts and you have your retirement secured. Their arguments are built over a conspiracy as base, so no matter what you do, it can’t entirely be disproved. Any effort to disprove a conspiracy could be explained by the fact that you’re part of such conspiracy.
Even if they’re not lying, there’s a good chance they «want to believe» too hard, or that they’re not smart enough to know what they saw. Maybe the UFO was just some secret military prototype that they shouldn’t have seen, and the bodies could be just anything. A strong reaction from superiors after knowing could have fueled the fantasy.
The pill-shaped UFO could be an instrument artifact paired with an optical illusion. Any artifact during a mission, however unlikely, pales under the unlikeliness of seeing an alien spaceship.
Truth is, the US is not the only capable military force in the world, so even if they made a huge effort to cover the presence of extraterrestrial individuals, it’s also hard that such encounters wouldn’t be experienced by another nation with less inclination for secrecy. ¿Maybe all nations are in the conspiracy? The bigger a conspiracy is, the harder it is to believe.
It’s also hard to believe that with the technologic boom we’ve gone through during the last few decades, there’s no good material to hold onto. We all have a 4k resolution camera in our pockets, and the skies are explored better than ever. As years pass it becomes harder for anything to become unnoticed, but there’s still nothing solid regarding extraterrestrial life.
There’s a bunch of possible explanations that, although harsh, have immensely higher chances to be true than «aliens».
But I don’t want to be the one to spoil the party. I am really excited to learn about these questionings and really looking forward to see what comes out of it. Hopefully we can beat all the odds and be in front of the most important thing that has ever happened to us. Maybe I just want to believe, a little.
