Aliens Are Here, And Nobody Cares: Our Waning Capacity for Wonder
Did you hear that aliens are real now? Because I almost didn’t.
For context: I’m a (mostly) sane, middle-aged mom with two fancy degrees and zero tin foil hats. A few years ago, when the news published those Air Force videos of UAPs (the “we swear we’re not bonkers” rebranding of UFOs), I made the rational assumption that they were probably just Chinese drones. Scary in its own right, but definitely not aliens.
My point is, I trust Occam’s Razor — the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one — and I listen to facts.
But the fact is, an alarmingly credible guy, retired Air Force Maj. David Grusch, just sat in front of Congress and claimed under oath that “non-human biologics” has been recovered from UAP crash sites. As in, he thinks the US government has actual alien bodies somewhere. Or something like it. Which, I feel obligated to point out, is a COMPLETELY INSANE thing to say.
Or is it?
