Tip listening to Elizondo on Rogan: when he claims he can't say stuff because of classification and then goes to tell you general details, he is lying. It was not classified to begin with, or he could not be telling you 'general' details. He is lying and playing up fake NDAs
Thank you everyone for the kind words after I had to put Dorothy Anne down today. Appreciate it.I will miss her dearly and think of her everyday. She was such a major part of my life for so long, and now it's just me. This is all pretty emotionally and physically draining on me.
This doesn't feel like home without her. I keep looking at all her usual places expecting to see her there, and she isn't. If you're not a pet person you maybe don't understand, but she was more than just a pet to me. She was my sole companion, best-friend for over a decade. 🐶

Be wary of any and all information that comes from these unreliable narrators. Choose better sources. These guy are not it. Not a single one in the entire bunch is a credible or reliable source of information.
The problem when people like Grusch/Elizondo talk about historical UFO cases is that many people falsely assume they are speaking from privileged insider information, when they really learned about it from UFO researchers/books/documentaries/etc. Not classified government files.

As Hynek suggest, you need to be agnostic as to the origin of the UFO and not be tied to any hypothesis in order to truly study this topic honestly.
For those who keep acting like Ross is a highly credible top level journalist, you may be forgetting he is a disgraced former journalist who lost his job for promoting entirely made up fake stories. So he moved into UFOs to promote more made up stories.

"Under oath' is irrelevant and means absolutely nothing in Grusch's case. He is telling third party stories that he believes. He is under no risk, and it makes no difference legally if he is flat wrong. This under oath nonsense needs to stop, because its meaningless in this case.
People who outright dismiss Grusch’s claims made under oath imply the value of legal testimony is dependent on preexisting belief and the rule of law should be subjectively applied on a situational basis.
I don't even know why I bothered tuning into NewsNation tonight. That was a literal NON STORY. It was just Rubio saying he has talked to credentialed people with CLAIMS (corrected it wasnt knowledge, but a claim), and then Nick Popes goofy analysis. What a non bombshell.

Be on guard. Provenance is KEY. Know your history.
What Corbell calls 'debunking' is just hypothesis testing. Its basic investigation technique. You should be checking and testing the prosaic explanations first. To mock people for doing that and calling them 'debunkers' is pathetic and wrong. You are mocking science.

No, you are not. The opposite in fact. None of those things have anything to do with his claims being valid. It's an appeal to authority amongst other fallacies. The only thing that matters is if he can prove his claims with evidence. If he can't, all that stuff is irrelevant.

This is not weird. First off, the image is from his visit to Chile over 6 years ago. They chose symbols on his vestments to represent the different cultures/regions in the country. He is also from Argentina, and spent 6 years studying in Chile. Unrelated to press conference.
I am not one for blocking people usually, but I think if all you do is show up with your sock puppet acct to troll my post and say I don't contribute anything to the UFO topic and don't know what research is, I think that deserves a block. Right? I mean, they're a lost cause.
