How do you know what Crusher saw? You weren't there. It would be pretty scary to see a UFO; cut him a little slack.
His opinion about what he thought he saw is just as valid as yours. Your opinion is that this is a psyop. You may be right or you may be wrong.
Quite frankly, the President, the VP, Tulsi, Rubio, Ratcliffe, and many others are of the opinion that this is not a psyop–and they may be right, unless they are themselves either perpetrators or victims of the psyop.
I never said it was aliens.
It was a blue white oval, maybe 30 to 40 long, flying slowly about 50 feet up. A local radio station remote van was following it and broadcasting. We were listening to it on the radio and watching it in real time. People listening thought it was a spoof. We knew the area he claimed he was in and drove over and saw...weirdness.
The object passed perpendicular to our path. It accelerated and took off in a parabolic curve, flying over Commercial Boulevard, over the Sony building.
Dad asked if I had just seen that. After that day he almost never spoke of it.
An aside...my uncle, Dad’s brother-in-law, had a long career in Air Force intelligence. Dad spoke to him shortly after the event. It was years before I put together that Dad’s silence probably had something to do with that phone call.
I also know that most people who talk about alien visitations/abductions are kooks.
