A breathless op-ed in The Hill on Friday, June 9, 2023 (read it here), claimed “the intelligence community inspector general found ‘allegations that there is a [UFO crash retrieval] program [to be] urgent and credible.’”
I certainly hope the Pentagon has a UFO crash retrieval program in place. The time to organize such an effort is before you have to go somewhere and pick up pieces.
The op-ed alludes to “explosive reporting” with a link to a DeBrief article (here) that goes farther than alleging the existence of a secret retrieval program and says “deeply covert programs” have “retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin.”
Another website called Media Bias/Fact Check gives DeBrief top marks for avoiding partisan bias, but gives it a C grade for factual reporting “due to not always backing claims with concrete evidence.”
A whistleblower, David Grusch, has created a media sensation with his claims. The DeBrief article goes to considerable lengths to vouch for him. But experts question his credibility for several reasons: He admits to having only hearsay knowledge; his claims have enlarged over time; and they mirror UFO mythology (see story here).
Asserting intelligent alien life is visiting our planet requires proof. Pictures won’t suffice; let’s see the actual spaceships and alien bodies. If you don’t have that, you don’t have a credible story.
