[flagged] Dozens of Government UFO Whistleblowers Have Given Testimony to Congress (public.substack.com)

Repeated use of the term "whistleblower" throughout with a trust-me-bro reference to "dozens" gives a partisan slant to this article I think; it's definitely trying to push the narrative of cover-up.

Looking at the conspiracy-theory-friendly article history of the publication here doesn't inspire confidence either.


I looked into what you meant about their "conspiracy-theory-friendly article history":

> People don’t trust the news media, and it’s easy to see why. Major news media organizations reported inaccurately that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. They dismissed as a “debunked conspiracy theory” the real possibility that COVID-19 could have escaped from a lab. And they have perpetuated misleading narratives around everything from rainforest destruction to biological sex to crime.

> In our short history, we have broken major stories, including on: wind industry threat to North Atlantic Right Whales; government censorship of Facebook; the origins of COVID-19; the cover-up of the origins of COVID-19; the Censorship Industrial Complex; UFO/UAP whistleblowers; the World Economic Forum; San Francisco’s illegal drug consumption site; the Twitter Files and the FBI; and Paul Pelosi’s alleged attacker.


Yes, the usual suspects.

I'm actually sympathetic to some of it, but if it makes up the bulk of a publication's (or anybody's) focus they probably need to take a break from it for their own well-being and trustworthiness.


You can stack shit as high as you want, it's still a pile of shit.


Is this the new Satanic Panic? Lots of people, seemingly sane, in positions of authority, power and influence, believing in fairy tales. Is there something about the American psyche that enables this?


> believing in fairy tales

Not sure why you call it fairy tales when the claims are about physical evidence (both crafts and biologics)? Why not go to the bottom of it instead of dismissing it as a fairy tale?

Like the new UAP Disclosure Act legislation:

> Legislation is necessary because credible evidence and testimony indicates that Federal Government unidentified anomalous phenomena records exist that have not been declassified or subject to mandatory declassification review as set forth in Executive Order 13526 (50 U.S.C. 3161 note; relating to classified national security information) due in part to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), as well as an over-broad interpretation of ‘‘transclassified foreign nuclear information’’, which is also exempt from mandatory declassification, thereby preventing public disclosure under existing provisions of law.


> when the claims are about physical evidence (both crafts and biologics)

People (including government/military people) have been making these claims for decades, so far nothing that people can actually put their hands on to back up the claim has been produced.


"when the claims are about physical evidence"

There were also a lot of claims about physical evidence during the Satanic Panic. It was still fairy tales.


I don’t really understand why a government would suppress evidence of extraterrestrial visitors. I guess one could speculate about a desire for technological advantage over neighboring states, but even that seems flimsy. The discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence would be the single greatest discovery of humanity! I struggle to imagine how anyone, let alone a large conspiracy, could hide that news.


> I don’t really understand why a government would suppress evidence of extraterrestrial visitors.

Because they wouldn’t. All this extraterrestrial garbage is just garbage and a waste of everyone’s time and tax dollars, all so some loser shmucks can make an attempt at a book deal. Time and energy wasted on this trash just hurts people.


When will we find out that Star Trek, Transformers, and other shows are loosely directed by the government?

Somewhat kidding but also wouldn’t be surprised!


> Testimony has included both first-hand and second-hand reports of crash retrieval and reverse-engineering programs by US, Russian, and Chinese governments; the testing of materials obtained from retrieved craft; active and ongoing government disinformation operations; kinetic military action with UAPs; contact and collaboration with nonhuman intelligence (NHIs); and the successful reverse-engineering of a triangle-shaped craft with unconventional propulsion.

Maybe Lockheed Martin TR-3B is real: https://www.military.com/video/aircraft/military-aircraft/tr...
