UFO whistleblower is still just hearsay
He hasn't see the alien wreckage, he hasn't even seen pictures, he's only heard rumors.
Once again, the hellscape has erupted over UFOs. An Air Force officer (former Major David Charles Grusch) claimed to be a “whistleblower” revealing the military has for decades been collecting crashed/landed alien spacecraft. I thought I’d write up something pointing out there’s nothing credible here.
It’s just rumors
He’s not a real whistleblower. He has no first hand knowledge. He’s simply repeating rumors he’s heard. He hasn’t seen the spacecraft in question. He hasn’t even seen photographs (according to his interview on New Nation). He’s simply passing on rumors from other people.
He claims to have made “sworn testimony” to Congress, as if this somehow makes it more reliable. It doesn’t. For one thing, we haven’t seen his sworn testimony. For another thing, telling the truth about rumors you’ve heard is still just “hearsay” — solemn sworn oaths about rumors you’ve heard is still “rumor”. If this were a matter before the courts, all his testimony would be rejected.
The military is full of rumors
The Air Force is compartmentalized. Having “clearance” doesn’t give you access to every secret, only those where you have a “need to know”. This causes rumors to flourish, about a whole lot of things, and about UFOs in particular. Air Force pilots don’t need “critical-thinking” skills to shoot down the enemy. They are just as susceptible to nonsense as anybody else.
Secrets are inflated. Even when they can’t talk about a thing, they can still hint about it, with a wink and a grin. This allows tales to get distorted beyond recognition.
I’ve spent over the decade doing cybersecurity work with our military. I’ve seen this many times, where I do have first-hand knowledge about events. I’ve watch the second-hand rumors spread and get exaggerated. In cybersecurity, the military has a whole has an inflated view of what they do on offence, as well as exaggerated paranoia about attackers against our defenses.
For example, in the early days of mass scanning the Internet, they wanted to know how I’d discovered their secret networks. They saw my scans against both their public infrastructure and against their secret networks. How did I know about the secret networks?
The answer was that I was scanning the entire Internet, all subnets. If a subnet secretly belonged to somebody, I’d still scan it, but I wouldn’t know who it belonged to. They couldn’t see this. They couldn’t see I was targeting everyone indiscriminately, only my scans against them specifically. It’s hard for somebody seeing my scans to discard the paranoid notion I’m targeting them specifically, rather than understanding I’m targeting everyone on the Internet.
So for years after I hear garbled versions of the story from people in the military.
The same thing happened when the Witty Worm took down the DoD network in 2003. Various people convinced themselves the DoD was the target, that they were under attack, though I’ve pretty well demonstrated there was no target.
These stories get so distorted because people are only allowed to pass along bits and pieces. They grow in people’s minds. The corrected versions don’t ever catch up with the distorted stories and fix them.
Of course they have secret aircraft
Of course the Air Force collects and analyzes downed aircraft from all over the world, in order to reverse engineer what our adversaries are up to. Of course we have advanced aircraft of our own that they want to keep secret.
The F-117 “Nighthawk” is a perfect example. It looks like no earthly aircraft. You can imagine how it would spread rumors throughout the Air Force of alien space craft, rumors that leadership has no incentive to dispel.
This is why we aren’t hearing from people with first-hand knowledge of such things, because they know what they actually are. Instead, we are getting only second or third-hand rumors, hearsay, from people who don’t understand what’s going on.
The Air Force (probably) collects downed aircraft and missiles. I know they are getting drones and missile fragments from Ukraine, so that our intelligence people can reverse engineer them and figure out their weaknesses. Among these things are surprises, things that somebody with first hand knowledge can’t immediately explain. Passed through the rumor mill, this can easily becomes claims of alien technology — even though a few days later, the person doing the analysis does eventually figure it out an explain it. The explanation of ordinariness will never catch up with the extraordinary theories in the rumor mill.
Conclusion
The only credible “whistleblower” would be somebody with first hand experience, who actually touched an alien spacecraft, who had sufficient expertise to understand what it is that they touched.
This is not David Grusch. He’s just reporting rumors he’s heard. It’s not even second hand rumors, because he’s not cleared to hear what’s actually going on, so it’s more third and forth hand.
There are others in the military quoted in these articles that claim Grusch isn’t a crackpot, but we know for a fact they are all lying. Grusch is passing along rumors. We know he must be a crackpot because nobody reliable would present rumors as fact this way.
This tweet from an Air Force vets pretty well sums this up.
