Let me state right away, I like many, have be fascinated by UFOs and the possibility of alien life - intelligent or otherwise. It has always seemed to me that with billions and billions of star systems (Sagan-like), the possibility of us being alone seemed remotely low. My fascination with the potential for alien life also made me think deeply about what this may mean from a religious point view. Did it negate the various theologies or actually reinforce them? I've been more comfortable with the concept of alien probes vs actual visitations since the laws of physics preclude traveling at or even a fraction of the speed of light. And if the physics are wrong, there's a much bigger problem.
That being said, I find it hard to believe that this has been a secret when almost no secrets are kept and that with 1 billion smart phones or more, we simply don't have one high resolution photo of an actual craft with a continuation of blurry and grainy pics that could be almost anything.
Recently, I was watching Prehistoric 2 - the Apple series on dinosaurs and it hit me that 65 million years ago, thousands of incredibly unique species roamed the planet for a 100 million years or more and some from a size perspective, so preposterous that it would be hard to envision how or why "natural selection" would/could play a role. And yet dinosaurs ruled the planet for 125 million years. Therefore, the incredible variations of life on just this planet seems to weigh in the favor of life elsewhere.
But until we have more evidence - I agree with many of my fellow commentators that this story may be distracting us from others. And I think we can guess what they are. I'll leave it up to you, my fellow readers, to speculate what those other "stories" might be.
That's true. It is also true that how we understand physics today makes the observed motion of these objects impossible. Unless they exist in a higher spatial dimension.
Yes I read the article. Grusch doesn't claim to have seen the craft in person. I also doubt they would allow researchers to take photos of the craft on their personal phones.
I know, whistle blowers confided him. If you were Grusch, what additional info would you request before going public. As I noted in original comment that I think alien life, intelligent or not is most likely a high probability. But it’s been almost 80 years since Roswell and very little tangible evidence. So skeptical that we have visitors from another planet or planets. I lean toward sophisticated skunkworks. Again, just my opinion.

Even if intelligent life was common, interstellar travel is really really ridiculously difficult. At least as we understand physics today.
That's true. It is also true that how we understand physics today makes the observed motion of these objects impossible. Unless they exist in a higher spatial dimension.
Smartphone cameras are junk. Getting a good photo of a flying craft or at night requires much better gear.
Did you read the article? Government whistleblower notes 12 craft in possession. I think a junk iPhone would work. Just my opinion.
