Prominent astrophysicists I trust say there is no evidence for Elizondo’s claims.
Have we examined all motives here? Possible motives include:
A government program for uniting religious belief to some end.
A government program to gauge how people would react to disclosure if non-human intelligence was ever discovered (arguably we are already there with LLMs).
A cover for advanced military craft.
And finally, by far the most likely in my opinion, the profit motive. To the Stars Academy, LLC, now known as To the Stars (TTS), is essentially an entertainment company. The supposed other operating arms of aerospace and science divisions have not and probably will never generate any revenue.[0,1]

- krapp 2y agoYeah, I've more or less aligned with Steven Greenstreet on this - it's a grift by a cult of UFO activists within the Pentagon, diverting funds and attention from legitimate programs and being given legitimacy by gullible people like Chuck Schumer and I assume David Grusch. And somewhere in the midst of all the bullshit there's probably some interesting stuff happening with drones and exotic propulsion that maybe caught the US military off guard, but I would bet a cubic meter of money that it isn't aliens.
- seuraughty 2y agoIt is a coordinated group of the same people starting in the 90s with NIDS (Hal Puthoff, Robert Bigelow, Eric Davis, Kit Green, Lue Elizondo, George Knapp, et al.) through the 2000s with AAWSAP and AATIP. All the stuff happening currently can be traced to them and the ‘lore’ they’ve managed to build up over the years.
