One hypothesis on all of this is discussed in this brief video:

The argument is that the “whistleblowers” are all intelligence operatives on a mission to “disclose” in an effort to mislead.
If that is valid—and of course we don’t really know either way—we could be looking at a “limited hang out” whose real purpose is to hide the crown jewels—the Secret Space Program.
They would not need to be briefed on that program to do their mission.
Congress could be handed the keys to the craft recovery and alien bodies “program” while being kept far away from “the crown jewels”.
The feared “catastrophic disclosure” could be the Secret Space Program and the Breakaway Civilization.
That would rock everybody’s world—and it would truly be a “before disclosure” and “after disclosure” historical moment.
Imagine if the Breakaway Civilization folks hacked into all major media and announced themselves—a press conference of humans and various aliens together....
As I used to say to people I worked with, you can trust people unless there's money, sex, romance, drugs, alcohol, gambling, or national security involved. In those cases, all bets are off until you do some very careful due diligence.
Even if the whistleblowers had good intentions, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that they were unwittingly fed false information by those with deceptive motives.
One of the most effective ways to promote a misleading narrative is to provide earnest and credible intelligence officers with distorted intel. Then, after they retire, subtly encourage them to 'blow the whistle,' amplifying the misinformation.
I’m not saying this is what happened—only that it’s a possibility worth considering."
