Pentagon Says Whistleblowers Provided No Verifiable Crashed Saucer Information

​In the wake of David Grusch’s claims to have seen evidence that the U.S. military has a secret program to reverse engineer crashed saucers from the interdimensional beings with which they forged secret agreements, next week, the House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing on UFOs. The hearing’s co-chair, Rep. Tim Burchett, who previously appeared on Ancient Aliens to explain why Yahweh was a space alien, said the hearing would be about “aliens.” The hearing’s other chair, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, shared a photograph of the materials she prepared for the hearing, which included debunked UFO images from online ufologists, numerous spelling errors, and the “I Want to Believe” poster from The X-Files. 

​However, by midweek, Burchett seemed to be pulling back on what ufologists like Jeremy Corbell promised (using the phrase “GO GO UFO”) would be a world-changing hearing and “the start of a new era” by providing “Disclosure,” the long-sought millenarian idea that the federal government would reveal the existence of extraterrestrial or interdimensional beings. Burchett said the hearing would include only three witnesses, David Grusch and two former military pilots, David Fravor and Ryan Graves, who will testify about why “these pilots think that something else exists.” That’s a far cry from exposing the government’s secret treaties with interdimensional space monsters.
 
Burchett’s pull-back came only hours before ABC News released an interview ahead of a Hulu-exclusive documentary about UFOs in which the scientist heading the government’s UFO office, Sean Kirkpatrick of AARO, explained that AARO interviewed more than thirty witnesses related to the crashed saucer claims and found no verifiable evidence to support the assertions.

"We've interviewed almost 30 individuals who have come in to provide their testimony. And out of all of those, none of it has yet led to any verifiable information that substantiates the claim that the U.S. government has those ships or has a reverse engineering program either in the past or currently," Kirkpatrick said when asked about the allegations.
 
He downplayed the possible existence of a secret program that he is not privy to, saying, "Nothing has been denied us."
 
"A number of these [whistleblowers] believe and have stated -- and we believe them now -- that they have seen something. And we are investigating," he said.

​The clear implication of Kirkpatrick’s comments is that the whistleblowers’ conclusions about the evidence that they have seen does not comport with an objective analysis of the same evidence. In short, one might reasonably argue that alien mythology shaped the conclusions the witnesses drew and biased their evaluations of it.
 
ABC is airing its UFO special on Hulu, not on ABC, suggesting that they did not find the subject of intergalactic or interdimensional invasion sufficiently credible to be real news.
