I’m truly not sure what to say… This is a big deal I think.

    How reliable is “The Debrief”?

    A quick look show UAPs is one of their focus, but they also claim to be science based and rigorous. Their homepage features multiples articles on UAP. Their mission statement include a section about “Mysteries in the Skies”.

    It’s not clear if this is just speculation and coverage of random UAP claims, or if there’s actually something there. The former is more likely.

      I was wondering the same thing. What has me intrigued is that a few congressmen tweeted about this source being “credible”. And the fact that this whistleblower apparently testified for over 11 hours in a closed-door congressional hearing has me wondering if this is actually something.

      You’ve already given them more credit than I would, but I’ve always been very skeptical of this sort of thing. I’m not sure if I would call this news, its more like speculation.

        Right, the author quotes various people speculating recovered materials have non-human origin, and technically isn’t speculating himself.

        It wouldn’t be the first time people cry wolf aliens and claim there is proof, then fall short when times come to make the data public.

        It’s an extraordinary claim, with lots of talk, but little evidence shown. I assume claims and evidence (or lack thereof) will be investigated since there’s a whistleblower complain. But I’m not holding my breath.
