    My interpretation is that it’s mostly half-truths.

    Do I think governments and militaries around the world have plans for such scenarios? Like retrieving UFOs? Yes, this seems reasonable. Do I think they have run exercises and tested those scenarios for real? Probably, yes. Most likely successfully so. Do I believe that someone with a lot of hearsay could interpret those things as “holy shit, they actually found something”? Yes, yes I do.

    Is any of this proof? Nope. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

      Any decent military is going have crash retrieval teams. It’s called CSAR - combat search and rescue. If a Russian or Chinese jet crashes somewhere neutral, we are going to race to get there. If it’s our own F-35, we will get there even faster and probably fight anyone who tries to get there first. I imagine you would do this for any interesting craft that crashes.

        Exactly, and when something crashes in the ocean it might be full off sea weed errr, I mean non-human biologics. And if equipment from foreign nations were recovered of course they’d get reverse engineered.

        Knowing how secretive militaries tend to be about their missions … of course the whistleblower gets stonewalled when trying to inquire about it.

        I haven’t seen a single claim that couldn’t be explained with something mundane.
