If aliens existed and we knew about it, who would know? The head of Israel's and USA's space defense programs.

- dwaltrip 6y ago> If aliens existed and we knew about it... That is an absolutely enormous "if".
- ceejayoz 6y agoSure. “He’s full of it” is still an option, though. I’d argue it’s the likely one. People have been killed for revealing lesser secrets.
- breck 6y agoMy priors would say 99% odds he's full of it, but you have to admit that if he's not (and if he really was the head of Israel Defense space division, makes him 1 of a very few people who would know), then this would be the biggest story in the history of the earth. So shouldn't we at least take a look? The Top Story on HN right now is about a finance deal between Uber and Aururo. Pretty sure that even though that one is almost certainly true, it's expected impact on the world relative to this is zero.
- nick007 6y agoAgreed, this is fascinating and potentially huge. This comes months after the Pentagon released UFO footage for the first time (not necessarily alien, but unidentified). Wonder if there could be a coordinated effort to slowly disseminate the information to the public slowly instead of all at once. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/23/us/politics/pentagon-ufo-harry-reid-navy.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/23/us/politics/pentagon-ufo-...
