The laws of physics were developed relatively recently. It would not be surprising in the least to discover that a civilization 100,000 years more advanced had figured out how to manipulate the Higgs field, and with it negate the restrictions imposed by relativity.
And we have mechanisms in place to filter those people out. They seem to be successfully passing those filters. This makes it more likely they are truthful.
I will assume a reply of “that does not guarantee truth/the system is imperfect” has already been given. Of course it doesn’t, and of course it isn’t. There are few guarantees. Passing those filters makes it more likely to be true.
Stop assuming everyone who is speaking into a microphone is lying in one form or another, or too stupid to be trustworthy.
Thousands and thousands of people have experienced extraordinary things over decades and multiple continents. All people here are willing to consider is that there is financial gain to be had, etc. Not that they are actually being truthful, and seeking nothing more than understanding.
Plus come ON. There's a chance that we possess something that can negate the Higgs field. That's huge beyond words.
It's also progress that this subject is being treated with the seriousness it so richly deserves.
There is one witness who is claiming under oath, and many others privately to Congressmembers, that we are in possession of craft not built by humans. To my knowledge this directly contradicts to what AARO is publicly claiming.
There are legitimate reasons to believe that the United States Defense Department has in its possession one or more craft built by non-human intelligences, and has been covering this up for decades. This hearing is to allow witnesses to testify in an effort to move forward in our understanding of the truth to these claims.
This is my belief as well, although slightly different in how I phrase it: humans are incapable of seeing much beyond their own selfish desires, and as a result will wind up causing their own extermination. The denial of death is widespread and understandable: to truly consider existential demise is exhausting, and I suspect has been backgrounded for simple evolutionary reasons.
Regardless, the species is naturally incapable of averting averting crises that are foreseeable but distant.
