Setting aside the credibility of the source, his claims align with the public facts. In this age of ubiquitous, high-res sensing tech, there has yet to be any credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence on Earth. And his statement that all of the accounts of government cover-up of extraterrestrials being secondhand also aligns with everything I've read. David Grusch's testimony is a great example of this.
The bottom line is, we have too many Mulders and not enough Scullys.
Presumably if we're dealing with a non-human intelligence that does not want to be identified then we're in the challenging situation of this being closer to an adversarial war than a natural phenomena. So, while absence of evidence doesn't prove anything about that being the case, absence of evidence would be expected if it was: if human civilization developed ubiquitious high-res sensing tech, then you'd expect the adversary to respond in kind.
In other words, if they're real, and they're trying to hide, then the fact we all have iPhones hasn't yielded more evidence doesn't prove anything, because if it was us, we'd change our tactics to avoid being detected by those things. As we do in war. It's very important to notice I'm not saying this tells us that is what is going on - we have to build up our priors in other ways to decide if that's true - but what I'm saying is that the claim that we all have cameras and yet not more UFO videos has absolutely zero epistemological effect, since it's smuggling in the assumption these objects are behaving like a natural phenomenon that will maintain their visible presence in spite of our own technological advancement. That's obviously not what one would expect if it's actually non-human intelligence.
That’s not actually true - we know for example the USS Nimitz TicTac incident happened and exists (not really a debate).
We have evidence of it happening from FLIR Camera of an F/18, an E2 Hawkeye Radar Plane, the SPY-1 Radar from the USS Princeton, the Ballistic Missile Defense system from when they were above 80,000ft
All of this data is corroborated and doesn’t appear to be up for debate - at the first UAP hearing Scott Bray the Deputy Director of Navy Intelligence said:
[Congressional staffer]: Can you provide us a specific
example of an object that can’t be explained as having
been human made or natural?
[Scott Bray]: I mean the example that I would say is
still unresolved, that I think everyone understands
quite well is the 2004 incident from [the USS] Nimitz
[aircraft carrier]. We have data on that, and it simply
remains unresolved…
At what point does sufficiently advanced technology become not human? I’d argue the TicTac displays that.
Otherwise you have to accept that there is a human organization with the capability of generating 10x the total sum of all Nuclear power generated in the United States in something the size of a 40ft TicTac 20 years ago
I mean - I guess it’s possible it’s human, it’s just that it’d make me incredibly sad if so considering whoever has it is letting the world burn.

Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles
I just can’t imagine this being weather personally as whatever it was, starts actively Jamming the F18 (technically an act of war). If you watch the TicTac video you’ll see it when it pops to 99.9 RNG on the display
I should note - a list of everyone that has said we have this data:
* Former President Obama
* House Intel Committee Member Adam Schiff
* Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
* Senate Armed Services Committee Member Kirsten Gillibrand
* Former DNI John Ratcliff
* Deputy Director of Navy Intelligence Scott Bray
* Senator Mitt Romney
* Senator Marco Rubio
* Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley
* Former Senate Majority Member Harry Reid
And a bunch of other house members - is someone faking a bunch of data and showing it to them?
> We have evidence of it happening from FLIR Camera of an F/18, an E2 Hawkeye Radar Plane, the SPY-1 Radar from the USS Princeton, the Ballistic Missile Defense system from when they were above 80,000ft
We don’t. All we have is fuzzy videos and random statements about radars from ships operating in a naval test range right next door to San Clemente island, which is bristling with radars and antennas with a mission to develop countermeasures.
Not that that ever will raise an eyebrow in the conspiracy theory folks. 99.9% of them have never been curious to look.
> 99.9
If you don’t write code, ask a coder what they think when they see a number like that.
The bottom line is, we have too many Mulders and not enough Scullys.
