The whistleblower report is out: aliens are real! At least, that’s the rumor. And the government has been hiding it for decades, apparently.

If you needed another bizarre headline in your feed, we’ve got you covered. Although to be fair, the extraterrestrials have been in the news pretty often over the last couple of years. In 2021, the Pentagon confirmed that images of an unidentified flying object were taken by Navy personnel. Even earlier photos of similar “UFO” looking aircraft surfaced, going against strong winds and having all the appearance of highly advanced technology. Now, the whistleblower, Air Force veteran David Grusch, says that the US government recovered an alien spacecraft and has been hiding the fact for years, even claiming they found dead “pilots” inside. From the New York Post:

“These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed,” Grusch said Monday of the so-called secret program’s alleged activities.

Despite the claims, though, there’s been pushback. Crane further reports,

A Department of Defense spokeswoman, however, appeared to shoot down Grusch’s allegations, telling The Post that the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office — formerly the UAP task force — “has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

What were the motivations of the whistleblower? Is this all a distraction from something else? Something fishy feels afoot if not full-blown alien.
