Congressional hearings aren't lie detectors. People testify under oath all the time with stories that can't be verified or that are based on misinterpretations, hearsay, or flat-out exaggeration. Just because someone wears a uniform doesn't mean every word is gospel truth

If witness accounts were 100% reliable, we should be seeing flying orbs, abductions, and little grey dudes on the daily

People "witness" all kinds of wild things. Gosts, demons, cryptids, you name it. That doesn't mean they're real. Human perception is flawed, memories are malleable, and the mind fills in blanks when it encounters the unfamiliar

This isn't some random guy that said he saw an alien in his backyard, it wasn't an isolated incident, and we have a video of it.

Oh wow, a video? Case closed, right?

Come on. We've had blurry "evidence" for decades. Shaky cams, weird lights, and ambiguous shapes. That doesn't magically turn every story into hard proof

I would love to see that video

It was all over the news. I'm not referencing some bullshit video. I'm referencing the declassified video from the past two years or whatever.

You're likely talking about the FLIR, GIMBAL, and GOFAST videos, correct?

I believe the videos you're referencing have already been thoroughly analyzed and debunked

Just a little taste:

I don't believe in any of this. This witnesses don't have a single piece of evidence to present. Why should I believe in any if this?
And it would be very odd that this aliens have the hability to cross galaxies and to do interstellar travels, but when they get to earth they crash...
Only a handufull of alien ships come to earth and some crash. We, with our ancient tech have literaly thousands of planes flying everyday and only a few crash in a full year.
It just doesn't add up.
I guess people want to believe.

but when they get to earth they crash

You are basing your point of view that witnesses are wrong on the statements put out by those in power.
They want the tech, did you consider the crash following aggressive action as the reason. Also there is the possibility they are reverse engineering and trying to fly tech they don't fully understand. In either case you need a crash retrieval programme..
