My concern here is that if these testimonies can’t be linked to evidence, the entire subject will be once again be discredited, goodwill from legislators will evaporate and the status quo will remain - that being UAPs being genuine alien devices or no.

The part that never adds up to me is the complete lack of concrete evidence in the open (when there is ubiquitous technology for detection in the hands of the public), or the implied astonishing competence of governments and agencies cooperating internationally to keep alien intelligence hidden. We couldn't prevent a pandemic, have lost nuclear weapons and are watching the planet die due to carbon emissions… yet somehow the alien-intelligence-suppression-network works?

There is classified physical documentation that the IGIC is in possession of and has spent nearly four years verifying and found to be credible and corroborated by dozens of first hand witnesses over the course of their investigation.

Unfortunately all of that is still classified but congresspeople who have been briefed have been sufficiently motivated to introduce legislation to investigate further (as Chuck Schumer has recently done in the Senate).

It could be the phenomenon that has the astonishing competence.

GFYS @DANG

I have kvetched to you over this MANY FN times... your BULLSHIT system is I am "posting too fast" when it was SIX FUCKING MINUTES between attempts to post.

You know why I hate reddit? You know why I HATE HN

You are a censorship engine.

When I met with twitter in 2007 they asked me what I thought twitter was, and I stateed it wasa global sentiment engine...

When I met with the googs I told them the same 'everyone thinks your're search - youre an ad based sentiment engine'

Go F U

Sam - if you keep breaking the guidelines we're going to have to ban you.

We've probably cut you more slack than anyone in the history of HN. That doesn't mean it isn't finite, so please stop.

@dang

I love you guys - I just want to also keep you square.

So, please allow me to call out dorks being dorks.

If I am an ass then call me out for being an ass, but dont ban me from calling out dorks, or things that HN might disagree.

Your posts go so outrageously over the line so often that we get emails complaining about them. What am I supposed to tell people about why we haven't banned you? Just please fix this.

There is evidence and it has been submitted to the relevant parties.
