Recent UFO hearings

[TripleThreat]

Sooooooo what exactly is going on? I don’t see a UFO thread and it seems congress is currently and has been having sessions with “whistleblowers” about UFO’s. What these guys are saying is essentially telling us we are 100% not alone and our private contractors have all the information and evidence to prove this. With that said, are these guys credible??

We have dramatically better optic technology than cell phones out there which are continuously recording the night sky for all kinds of different scientific and amateur purposes at all times. I think it's telling that there's still no irrefutable evidence from these kinds of independent sources. These whistleblowers have claimed for a long time now that the physical evidence of extraterrestrials exists, but have given endless excuses for why they can't just expose that info to the public. Elizondo in particular has used that excuse for 5-6 years straight. Always some excuse why they have to wait for some reason.

Show some actual evidence. Something, anything that can be independently verified.

And your response in another grainy artifacted night vision video? I mean, can you at least understand why people can't really get excited about that again?

If you read the description…this is from 2011 with very high end video equipment (for 2011). Which is important because 2011 is well before current drone tech. I know it’s easy to dismiss because we have cameras “everywhere” but the cameras are not pointed at the sky and those that are are not looking for areal phenomena, but rather weather patterns and looking far deeper into space. These objects are operating from 10,000 to 80,000 feet not something your average traffic/personal/law enforcement camera will easily see from the ground. Remember, 10,000 feet is almost 2 miles away that’s farther than powerful sniper rifle scopes. Chris Kyle has the farthest confirmed kill at 1.2 miles with a sniper rifle and that’s still a very difficult sight picture. But you want perfect pictures of objects that are flying at much farther distances.

I think life almost certainly exists elsewhere in the milky way or elsewhere, the chances are too high. But human like intelligence might not, and hell human like intelligence may even be an evolutionary dead end (jury is still out on if humans can avoid making themselves extinct). And even if there's other beings intelligent as humans, that doesn't mean they're able to create space faring technology. And even if they are, if our understanding of physics is correct (which it probably is for the most part), then the distances are too vast to overcome. We very very likely have neighbors, but we'll never meet them.

Or it could just be like, chemotrophs living in the soil of a planet like Mars.
