Three military veterans testified in Congress’ highly anticipated hearing on UFOs Wednesday, including a former Air Force intelligence officer who claimed the U.S. government has operated a secret “multi-decade” reverse engineering program of recovered vessels. He also said the U.S. has recovered non-human “biologics” from alleged crash sites.

    Representative Mace posed the question to David Grusch, “Do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?” I don’t think it’s a leap in logic to assume they aren’t discussing “animals” in the traditional sense—that is, an animal you or I would think of, like a dog, cat, monkey, etc. This is especially true since every publicly known animal in the animal kingdom, humans excepted, lacks the ability to pilot a craft.

    If your argument is that they’re referring to an animal not publicly recorded in the animal kingdom—a sentient being—then we are in agreement.

        The two examples you provided involve animals driving vehicles, not piloting a craft.

        You may choose to either believe or disbelieve Mr. Grusch’s claims, both of which are reasonable stances. However, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to listen to the hearing, read the article, and then infer that ‘non-human’ in this context refers to animals as we typically understand the term.

        To me, this seems like arguing in bad faith by nitpicking at semantics rather than debating the veracity of Mr. Grusch’s claims.

          To me it seems that you think that alien bodies are sitting in a government freezer and no amount of evidence or testimony to the contrary would ever change your mind so what’s the point of “good faith” when there’s no argument to be had in the first place?
