Agreed that this bill is pretty remarkable - somehow this bill feels too elaborate and too specific for Schumer and other co-sponsors not to have seen something very compelling. Some of the highlights of the bill include requiring the State Department to ask other countries if they have possession of crashed UFOs (pg. 60) and the creation of an independent disclosure review board to consist of (among others) a sociologist, an economist and a historian (page 33). I've felt conflicted about David Grusch (and indeed the entire UFO/UAP topic) since he went public last month - the credibility of people claiming, or at least not disputing claims of, incredible things keeps growing, yet it's certainly possible that this is an elaborate hoax (but if so, to what end?). I can't figure out for the life of me what, if anything, is really going on behind the scenes, and none of my friends or colleagues seem to be interested in talking about it. |
It's probably not a hoax but most likely will just result in State and DoD saying they have no UFOs or aliens. Asking other countries for UFOs seems pretty stupid. All that is going to do is have other countries send there Roswell people to the US embassy and waste time. I'm guessing enough people with schizophrenia or conspiracy theory type minds have gotten elected to Congress that this type of legislation is possible. |
I have not yet really read anything about it (though I’m the one who posted last page about the arrogance of people assuming that there’s nothing out there that could possibly have been here), and I accept that we could be being hoaxed. It simply seems to me, mathematically, that we’re not alone in the universe. I just looked up how many stars are imagined to exist in the universe and it’s 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. That’s 200 billion trillion. People act like because we don’t know much about wormholes and the like that no other being can possibly know it, but no humans in the Americas knew about gun powder and guns til people from the Old World brought them. |
