A hitherto-obscure webzine called the Debrief—which describes itself as “a public venue for credible reporting on science, tech, and defense news”—previously published startling claims by “a former intelligence official and whistleblower” named David Charles Grusch. It’s still creatng waves. The US government and its allies, Grusch announced, have in their possession “intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin,” along with the dead alien pilots, and have been secretly studying them for years. This was my unconvinced response:
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but the lengthy Debrief article contains no photographs, illustrations, reports, or documents of any kind in support of Grusch’s allegations. Further, the authors acknowledge that Grusch has not personally seen any alien craft, does not know where they may be stored, and has declined to provide any details about the retaliation he claims to have experienced from government officials. He speaks of “vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures,” which sounds ominous. But how does he know any of this? Are there any chemical analyses or scientific tests on said materials? There are not.
