Probing the UFO Hearings: A Lot Fiction, Not a Lot of Science
Red State ^ | 07/28/2023 | Jim Thompson

Most Americans didn’t watch the Congressional UFO hearings. Like me, they were busy doing important stuff – like anything else. It’s not that I am completely disinterested I just think a congressional hearing on the subject is like watching a sci-fi movie. You can get into the drama of it all, but at the end of the day, it was just a lot of loud noises and not a lot of substance.

One of the guys who testified had Peter Strzok eyes. Wild eyes. It looked like the guy had been dropped off at Capitol Hill after being probed by an ET. Like he had been ridden hard and put back wet. To summarize, his testimony, it was akin to an “I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you” dodge. “My wife and I have seen things you wouldn’t believe!” You’re right; I wouldn’t believe it.

Ok, sure, there were other witnesses who claimed they saw stuff. I am just not buying it. Sorry, not sorry. Until a space saucer lands in Lafayette Square and some silver-suited dude named Kaatu exits with a giant robot named Gort standing guard, I am not buying any of it. Does anyone have a good answer for why aliens only crash in the most remote parts of the country or next to trailer parks and have only done so in the last 60 years? Why do they anally probe only trailer trash and not Eric Swalwell or AOC?

Donald Trump was president for four years. Yes, he was distracted for much of it, but he has no ability to keep his mouth closed, so why has he never blurted out, “I have huge news – I’ve seen aliens, and they are real!”

Why are aliens day-tripping over American land and water? Nothing better to do in Milky Way? We have all seen the Air Force and Navy videos of (usually) boxy-looking black dots defying physics, flying fast, and then stopping on a dime.

It doesn’t help when self-proclaimed “scientists” claim that they can build an actual USS Enterprise from Star Trek fame. According to this site, all that America needs to do is invest a trillion dollars, and we could build a “fully functioning Enterprise.” Years ago, a Yahoo tech writer, who called himself “Tecca,” wrote a gushing article about this idea and postulated that such a project could motivate American children to “pursue careers as scientists and engineers.” He cites that many of the items used in the series are now used by earthlings, like cell phones, retina scans, and “Wikipedia” (no kidding, that was one of the things listed). That substitutes as evidence that the project is workable. All it will take is a trillion dollars and 20 years, and defying physics.

What tech nerds often leave on the cutting room floor is reality. Physics. For instance, the “go” in the fictional Enterprise is fiction. There are no “dilithium crystals” with which to power fictional “warp engines.” There is no technology that can hurtle objects through space at many times the speed of light. What can travel at the speed of light? Light.

The “transporter” (which disintegrates objects and living things and then sends them to a faraway place to reintegrate them ) is really cool. And impossible. The concept was used in the original Star Trek series because the series didn’t have the budget for little space shuttles – so the writers invented – magic. The energy needed to disintegrate a person, then reintegrate that person into a faraway place, is massive. How massive? From what I understand, the energy is about equal to all the energy in the universe, so those folks building the “fully functional” Enterprise better have a really long extension cord running to…the power source for the entire universe.

Gravity is just a given on the Starship Enterprise. Just flip a switch, and instant gravity. Deck gravity is “a given” in almost every sci-fi movie. The problem is, it’s not possible. It is “possible” to simulate gravity, but creating gravity requires mass – so unless aliens have figured out how to store the mass of their planet in the overhead baggage bins or under the seat in front, their Captain Kirk isn’t going to be walking the decks of their Enterprise goosing female crew members. He (or she) won’t be sitting in the Captain’s Chair screaming for alien Scotty to give ‘im more power. He’d be floating around inside the alien Enterprise, looking for a handle to grab. Centrifugal force isn’t “gravity.”

How about the “food generators”? Nope. Does anyone believe spending a trillion dollars will produce a computer that will “cook” a perfect In-N-Out burger out of “energy”? There is no technology known that can turn energy into matter – any matter, let alone a cup of tea or a hot burger with crispy pickles.

Assuming the laws of physics don’t apply in the rest of the universe, I’m not still buying the Alien Hearings in Washington DC. Like most of what happens in that town, it’s a lot of theater and not a lot of substance.

There’s a reason it’s called science fiction – it’s a lot of fiction and very little science.

This guy did not watch 10 seconds of the hearing.

Considering he was the civilian equivalent of a full bird colonel in the NRO I’d take Mr. Grusch very seriously.

The best case for so called Unidentified Flying Objects I have come across was made by Dr. Steven Greer in an interview on the Shawn Ryan show. More or less indicating that a good portion of them are home grown or re-engineered by what you may call a shadow group loosely associated with some big US industrial companies. More or less representing something comparable to the early Ford Model T with certain capabilities such as the ability to cloaking as well defying the gravitational field and impressive speeds.

Yet still in the early stages like our radios and TV sets about sixty years ago where you had all kinds of tubes, capacitors, coils and resistors all mounted on a metal chassis until we approached the miniaturization and integration process along with the discovery of the transistor and everything eventually ended up in the configuration of chips something we only could have dreamed of sixty years earlier and so far we have not even scratched the surface.

Now keep in mind that civilizations from what you may call “Out there” have been at it for millennia’s and have been refining this to the N-th degree and probably have at their disposal things which we have not yet even dreamed about. And these, I believe make up the other and smaller portion of sightings of so called UFO’s Aside all this, if anything I believe that the real ones are harmless as if they wanted to harm us, due to their technological advances could have done so long time ago.

I would be more concerned about the home grown version as pointe out by Dr. Steven Greer who more or less are under the control of some war mongering entities. For more detailed info you may want to watch the presentation by Dr Steven Greer who has been researching this subject for over thirty years.

This “disclosure” is a CIA diversion op. The actual “package” of UFO-related (and some not UFO-related) upper tier technology has been jealously possessed and controlled by a corporate/CIA cabal since before we were born, most of us.

They aren’t about to disclose their proprietary golden goose. The last thing they want to get loose in the world is cheap unlimited energy which can’t be metered.

There are a lot of aliens in DC, some not of this earth. They are called Congressional Democrats.
Been there, seen some.

Eggzackly!

And he was gathering testimony as an "investigating officer" (i.e., that was his official job) for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the NRO.

This "article"--if you can call it that--was nothing but an emotional rant. It didn't include any cogent arguments.

The first reaction of people who are facing life-changing news is often denial...accompanied soon by emotional rants and tirades.

That said, I'm glad you posted it, Seek and Find, because what this author is experiencing is what people all over the country are going to experience when they consider the testimony presented in the House hearing on Wednesday.

Today's Democrats are the people who used to be locked away in mental institutions. After those institutions were closed and their patients were released back into the population, many former patients, unable to get good jobs, decided to run for office as Democrats.

Only partially joking.

My two big takeaways
1) Our gubmint expends time, resources and money on UFO’s
2) Our gubmint is VERY secretive about-UFO’s

If they are not studying UFO’s, where is all the money going?

Wake me up when a witness testifying about crashed alien spacecraft and corpses can speak in the first person. Grusch spoke only in third person — ‘somebody told me’ — and that’s nothing more than hearsay, i.e., it’s not reliable.

Would this make a different:

Grusch was an "investigating officer" (i.e., that was his job--to investigate this matter) with the civilian equivalent rank of full-bird colonel from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the NRO who took testimony from witnesses. He also is going to present names and locations about his testimony to Congress in a SCIF.

I haven't laughed this hard in months.
