The lack of any actual proof makes it boring AF.

I don't understand the lack of curiosity about it. And I tend to look at officials talking about it previously to be a bit more on the believable side. i.e. Defense Minister from Canada talking about it matter of factly, Former Israeli Space Security Chief confirming these occurrences. These people spoke up when it is a certainty that it would destroy your career and effect your ability to make a living going forward. And of course Chile, Japan, and even China having public open investigations into UAP with publicly available documentation of their investigations in many cases. Just find it strange that it would be laughed off and there be no curiosity about it.

I find it curious how many people can see officials from governments all over the world (1st world countries all the way down to 3rd world countries) confirming, implying and saying there is something to all of this, and they laugh it off with no curiosity. Just odd.



I can't believe I'm reading on a UFO forum "Why won't people simply believe those in government?"

It's like Bizarro World. The overwhelming sentiment from this community is that everyone in power lies and covers up but when the same tiny handful of self-serving people say what you want to hear over and over then we're supposed to just accept their words.

Not talking about believing in the gvt...talking about curiosity. Not even talking about believing or not, but interest that yeah this may be happening and leaving room for developments of what is happening.

Just seems strange to me to not stay open and evaluating. I haven't the foggiest of what is going on. Something is going on though.

To be fair, the whole point of this is that people on the "disclosure is coming" side are saying the government has been lying for decades and that hopefully their lies are going to be exposed. Not that you should trust the government. Rather that you should maybe trust the whistleblowers who are trying to expose the government. So looking at it that way, you and they would be in agreement.

Well sure, I understand that. I personally have tremendous scientific curiosity. I've been into astronomy and physics and so on my whole life. And I also have always loved science fiction. So I'm interested from both directions, but you've got to have something tangible. The whole question of why we're here and if we're alone in the universe and so on is the most intriguing thing of all to me. But this is not the way to do it, there's a difference between rational science and playing pretend. This topic as it's presented in the UFO community is not science, it's religion, in that if you want to see it then it's everywhere, but if you don't choose into buy in first then it's no different than seeing leprechauns. I don't have any curiosity about leprechauns no matter what sightings I hear about. Show me a leprechaun first, then I'll be curious.

Yeah, I get that too. Ultimately it just boils down to there being so many people in government that you can just choose your side and say the others are lying. This thing is too potentially huge for anyone's words on either side to matter. Show us unequivocal proof or else, that's what it comes down to. Until then it's just stories.

If these things truly have capabilities beyond our own scientific understanding, how are they held in check (secrecy) by a government? That doesn't make any sense to me. They could do (and appear) whatever and wherever they want.

I still think we're probably a few years away from any form of disclosure (I'd say at some point before 2030, though), but it certainly feels like an undeniable number of cracks are starting to form in the dam. I just don't see how anyone can discount this many legitimate voices, and the seriousness with which the subject is increasingly being treated by additional legitimate officials, scientists, journalists, etc. If anything, I've at least noticed a sharp decline in the number naysayers showing up in this thread, but then again they may have either lost interest, or we finally/inadvertently ran them off.
I check into this thread regularly when I see it bumped out of morbid curiosity, there are basically three people here who even try to keep this going, one of which is a religious nut and the other is an anti-religious nut, and it's the same thing over and over and over. I don't bother posting because what's the point?

And when this stuff makes its way onto the actual news forum it gets mocked out of existence quickly by everyone. New documentaries and books and "maybe something will happen next year", as always. Only now I guess that's been pushed up to 2030. What happened to Fox's promise on video last year that by the middle of this year we'd all see undeniable proof that the mainstream can't ignore? Where are the hearings? Where is Grusch's promised paper? Where are the promised 40 or whatever first-hand whistleblowers to follow him? This is the world's most egregious case of The Boy Who Cried Wolf" ever.

It's been one year since Grusch. That's it. And it's an election year, at that. Meaning officials won't have time for hearings and the like until after the election, which is something that has been mentioned here numerous times before. As for Grusch's paper and the 40 first-hand whistleblowers, no one ever said those witnesses were coming forward imminently - or at all - and the news has already been shared that his paper is still under DOPSR review. Again, this is all PROCESS, one that isn't going to adhere to your arbitrary timeline/expectations.

Also, please show me Fox's "promise on video last year that by the middle of this year we'd all see undeniable proof that the mainstream can't ignore." Because I have ZERO recollection of Fox or anyone else making such bold claims. Again, Fox has a documentary coming out early next year, the making of which has been chronicled in this thread for months, even in the last few days, a documentary that many people think will certainly cause some noise. But claims of "undeniable proof" sound like something you made up in your head, because I sure as **** haven't ever relayed such claims.

That, and nothing has been "pushed to 2030." In fact, I can't tell you how many times I and others in this thread have said that we think the cat will be out of the bag "in the next few years," by 2030, etc. Sure, we always hope for faster progress, but I nor anyone else here has ever said that proof or disclosure was coming within the year. Not once.

Again, you seem to be imagining things, holding people to those imaginary claims, and then calling them out for not adhering to your imagination. Either that, or you're simply not taking the time to read the actual words we're typing or the tweets/articles we're posting. Which is totally fine, but then don't hold us to your imagination/misinterpretations, stemming from your own lack of understanding.

They're not "held in check" by our government.

"They could do (and appear) whatever and wherever they want."

Exactly.

And for whatever reasons, this is the level of "exposure" they're willing to risk for the time being. "They" are the ones choosing not to fully reveal themselves. Our government keeping their existence a secret is a completely separate matter. If "they" wanted to fully reveal themselves, our government would have zero control over that.

Then again, we've been over this countless times - you and I have had this exact discussion before - so the only thing that makes sense here is that you're playing dumb again just to keep the argument going.

A single response to him isn't getting "worked up." And I could not care less if he or you "believe" or not. It's how annoying and seemingly purposefully ignorant y'all tend to be in your disbelief that I feel requires responses from time to time. That's it and that's all.

Literally nothing I said in that post had anything to do with belief. Rather, Joes was holding this thread/subject to standards he invented in his head, which I simply corrected. Otherwise, I have no ****ing clue what you're talking about, seeing as, again, his or your belief, or lack there of, means jack **** to me. I could not care less about proving anything to people like you. For the umpteenth time, it's not your disbelief that's annoying, it's simply your posting habits and the ways in which you express your incredulity.

I'm partway through Imminent; got my copy yesterday morning. Lue claims that he was told by Harold "Hal" Puthoff that Roswell was real and four bodies were recovered.
Quote:

I don't recall how my first UAP history lesson in a SCIF with Hal began, but I remember Hal tossing off the most enticing one-liner I'd ever heard: "Well . . . it all goes back to Roswell in 1947." "WaitRoswell was real?" I asked. Hal looked at me, clearly weighing whether to bring me further into his circle of trust. "Yes, Lue, it was real." "You mean to tell me that a UAP actually crashed and we covered it up?" "That's exactly what happened," he replied. I went quiet, and let his words sink in. Hal went on to tell me something else that truly blew my mind. Four deceased nonhuman bodies were in fact recovered from the 1947 Roswell crash.
Quote:

Roswell codified how this nation and all others would react to future UAP incidents going forward. The US government scripted the universal UAP playbook in the hours and days following that mysterious incident in New Mexico: Admit nothing and deny everything. Make counteraccusations. Retrieve the pieces of the crashed craft. Whisk the retrieved materials away to undisclosed locations. Work in secret to reverse-engineer this vastly superior technology. Lock down all scientists and engineers who come near the recovered wreckage. Intimidate witnesses into saying nothing. Discredit those who don't play along. Make them look crazy. Paint abductees as country bumpkins or glory-seeking frauds. Stigmatize outside researchers who attempt to intelligently glean truth. Stigmatize the topic. Threaten anyone who utters a single word about this topic with the US Espionage Act and the promise to execute anyone who defies their secrecy oath, by reminding them of what happened to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for selling atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. Deny, deny, deny. Create and increase a stigma that will prevent disclosure.

YOU are the one that brought us up when I already said I don't bother posting and haven't in ages. Don't wave a flag to get attention and then say "Haha! You responded!"

Everything I said is spot on. The very idea that it's an election year and that is the holdup is beyond comical. This whole idea that anything would be a blip next to the biggest news story in world history is an absolute joke. It would be like saying "There are incoming nuclear missiles but they're not going to announce it until the TV commercials are over." That mentality alone shows it's utterly unserious.

YOU just said:

"I still think we're probably a few years away from any form of disclosure (I'd say at some point before 2030, though" in the very post I quoted.


Grusch's paper was supposed to come out in February. The 40 other goobers were promised a year ago. If I wanted to waste any more time I'd go back and find the very statements in this thread and elsewhere.

Fox was challenged on July 28, 2023, on video that we would be in the exact same spot a year later (now) we were in then and Fox stated that absolutely not, and he bet a thousand dollars on it. He was specific and clear and doubled down repeatedly. There are articles and videos about it. "James Fox made a thousand dollar bet with YouTuber Destiny that we'll get UFO Disclosure within a year." You can find that everywhere.

I swear, sometimes I think Spydey is the normal one around here.

You guys are truly out of your minds. Please just stay in here with the other fantasy Dune and Star Trek threads and leave the normal people in the news thread alone.

He's referring to a conversation that happened after he was recruited into the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Applications Program (AAWSAP), which would later become the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). So, after 2008. I think it's a mistake to interpret the interchangeable use of UFO/UAP as some kind of "gotcha".

OK, I see. Look at it this way. Lue is writing in 2023 about events that spanned decades of changes in terminology. Flying saucers, UFOs, ETs, Tic Tacs, UAPs. He uses the collective term that is current usage in 2023 (UAP) whenever the use of a different term isn't specifically called for by context.

I've been working on a Roswell movie on and off for a while now. Research-wise, I've read/watched damn near every book/documentary on the subject, and at this point there's no doubt in my mind it actually happened. Well over a hundred first and second-hand witnesses, a number of them military personnel, can't all be lying, while too many facts and contradictions line up for it to have been a mere weather ballon, even a top secret one. Never mind the fact that the government literally announced via press release that it had a flying saucer in its possession, before claiming "lol just kidding" and going back on their word the very next day.

Jesse Marcel finally came forward in 1978 as the OG whistleblower, kicking this whole thing off, and now 45+ years later Grusch has heavily hinted that Roswell happened, while Lue now flat out says it did. The circumstantial evident is far too great, and one of these days we're finally going to have proof.

- I didn't "wave a flag to get attention." I said, verbatim, "If anything, I've at least noticed a sharp decline in the number of naysayers showing up in this thread, but then again they may have either lost interest, or we finally/inadvertently ran them off." It was a simple observation. It sure as **** wasn't bait or an invitation. I assumed you guys had stopped following this thread altogether and was thankful you presumably had.

- It's not at all "beyond comical" that most officials don't want to rock the boat/risk their reputation during an election year. That's the truth and the reason that has been given over and over again by those making these decisions/everyone else reporting on them. Sure, it's "the biggest news story in world history," but you're conveniently leaving out the fact that it's also a highly controversial one, with a massive negative stigma. Again, never mind how much busier and pre-occupied these people are right now. All things considered, those up for re-election simply aren't going to be wasting their time on a subject like this while trying to campaign. So no, they're not "utterly unserious," they're being cautious and calculated during a pivotal, highly contentious election year.

- As has been noted multiple times now, Gursch's paper is still under DOPSR review, just like Lue Elizondo's book was for far longer than anyone wanted it to be. Also, Grusch nor anyone in his orbit "promised" the 40 other potential whistleblowers "a year ago." They've been saying all along that additional whistleblowers coming forward was contingent on how Grusch was treated publicly, something I've relayed time and again in this thread. Grusch and his family were then threatened/spooked, while he also became the target of a confirmed government smear campaign, one that outed his medical records, for which he's now suing (and will probably win).

- All that said, I'll give you the James Fox thing. I never saw that, I just looked it up, and he shouldn't have made such a dumb bet. So apologies on that front.

Still, all of this comes down to the fact that no one owes you or anyone else here jack ***** Yet you act as if this entire national conversation - or even one as informal as this, on a college football message board - shouldn't be had unless evidence is presented according to your timetable. When the "gatekeepers" were never going to roll over, this fight was always going to take years, and estimates/predictions were always going to be off. Most of us understand that and don't throw hissy fits when it takes longer than we want it to.

For the 400th time, again I ask, if you don't believe, why do you care so much? Why do you get so worked up over something that will apparently never impact you in any way?
