UFOs and aliens and reverse engineering and all that fantasy stuff

It didn't take long for a senior US official to knock down the wild claims made this week about how sucessive American administrations have covered up and kept secret the arrival of aliens from outer space and how their spaceships have been reversed engineered. The guy in charge of investigating UFOs at the Pentagon has basically said it's all codswallop. And yet when the former US Air Force officer made the claims during a Congressional hearing, every word he uttered was joyously slapped across the pages of every newspaper on the globe and treated with the respect it didn't deserve. There was one moment during his allegations when retired Major David Grusch,a one-time air force intelligence official, was snapped by photographers with that wild-eyed look one normally associates with someone who has a burning cause in his head which he wants everyone to believe. I mean, come on all you sensible people, if there really had been a conspiracy over the last eight decades about this alien invasion it would literally mean hundreds of thousands of people would have been keeping quiet all this time. Ok, you might argue, ex-Major Grusch has now come forward to speak on behalf of all these good citizens who agreed never to talk about it. But I just don't buy it. It's up with the fairies stuff. It's baloney. It's alien tish-tosh. All of which was emphasised by Sean Kirkpatrick who heads up the wonderfully named All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (ADARO) at the Pentagon. He said there was no evidence any of the stuff claimed by ex-Major Grusch had anything to do with the truth or reality. A Pentagon spokeswoman said likewise. So, ex-Major Grusch, carry on making your claims based supposedly on inside information but don't expect anyone to believe you.
