Does Anyone Else Feel Like These UFO Hearings Were A Little Too Convenient?

Am I the only person who felt like Wednesday’s House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security’s UFO hearing was a little too convenient? And literally revealed nothing?

While social media users screamed and gasped at the so-called revelations from the hearing, those of us who’ve followed the history and data on UFOs should be feeling pretty let down and suspicious as heck at the dog-and-pony show we were given.

A close attorney friend once told me that the easiest way to get out of trouble is to make a deal with law enforcement to give them information, and then simply reconfirm details they already have. That is precisely what happened at Wednesday’s UFO hearning. A majority of the session was focused on former U.S. intelligence officer-turned-whistleblower David Grusch, who revealed absolutely nothing new, and nothing of consequence during his testimony.

Grusch told us that there’s a UFO retrieval program in the military. He claimed the first “non-human intelligence” was discovered nearly 100 years ago, which is common knowledge within the field of UFO research.

Similarly, U.S. Navy veteran Ryan Graves claimed that UFO encounters were “frequent” when he was a pilot … as if that hasn’t been a story for years? (RELATED: UFO Videos Would ‘Harm National Security’ If Released, Navy Claims)

Call it nothing more than a gut instinct and my humble opinion, but something just doesn’t sit right with me about Grusch. He’s too convenient, as if recruited for the role by the agencies he’s claimed to be blowing the whistle on. I hope I’m wrong, but only time and evidence will tell.

There are countless former agency officials, military personnel, pilots, and more, all of whom have their own stories of how our government covers up UFO and other alien-related research. The only people I saw of note were renowned researchers Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp.

Where are the hearings for the hundreds of others who have their own experience of working with government agencies on UFO projects? Or their media interviews? Nowhere, which is precisely what I would want if I were a government agency trying to both distract the public with information they’ve had before, and to do so with actors I know I can control.

Most folks are claiming the hearings were just a way to distract us from Hunter Biden getting in trouble (again), but my gut says something more insidious is going on. And I dread to think what’ll happen next.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
