>There is no physical evidence whatsoever.
You do know that you literally can't make that claim in good faith, right? That is simply your belief and, in fact, is contrary to the testimony of all three witnesses, all of which were personally invited to speak before Congress because of what they know. Clearly, you were not invited, though I suppose that itself is a belief.
All three witnesses claim that advanced military sensor platforms have gathered extensive information on UAP. Is that a piece of a craft? No. However, one of the witnesses testified under oath that he had direct knowledge of where such materials exist. You should want to see where his claims lead, if you truly believe in your closing statement.
>The only “evidence” is hearsay.
If that's your position, you didn't watch the hearing. One of the three witnesses is only there because he experienced a UAP while serving as a flight commander, and his former aviators reluctantly persuaded him to come forward. That individual is a primary source.
>Also, the members of the committee can lie without repercussions, so I don’t believe them. And the military lies to the public all the time.
Ah, so you're a conspiracy theorist. /s
>Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Any person can dismiss extraordinary evidence as illegitimate if they reject the underlying premise. You can have video evidence of a person clearly committing murder, but that doesn't mean a family member won't still claim it's not them or it's fabricated. A piece of material from a craft could be brought out in a hearing, and some people will still claim that it's fake or impossible to prove that it wasn't made on Earth in a government lab. An alien could testify before Congress, and some people will claim it's an elaborate fake using rubber masks and advanced robotics.
In this case, we do have historically-extraordinary evidence (submitted as sworn Congressional testimony and personal statements) of the existence of UAP. You just don't accept one or more of the following underlying premises:
- Physics as is commonly accepted is incomplete.
- Military pilots are better observers than the average person.
- Life of equal or greater intelligence exists beyond humanity.
- enterprise_cog 3y agoI don’t want to argue about this, but I will say that I want this to be real. I want to believe. And I agree some people are too skeptical. However I still need some kind of hard physical evidence to start going down that path. Hopefully it shows up eventually, but I’m not holding my breath.
- waterheater 3y agoFair enough. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Having studied the "UFO phenomenon" with a rational, evidence-seeking mind for some years now (guess you'll just have to take my word on that) and trying to put myself in the shoes of a national government, it's hard to find significant fault with the military's actions regarding UAPs over the past 80 years. To a large degree, I get why they've done what they've done. Happy to explain more if you'd like, but the gist is, the world just wasn't ready.

If mere words are your standard of evidence, then we are different. I need to see/sense/understand myself to believe - material/physical and photographic evidence, and expert, scientific, independently confirmed, reproducible analysis. If you don't, I have a bunch of stories to tell you. > You just don't accept one or more of the following underlying premises [...] Really weird to presume this
