    You raised an interesting point regarding Mr. Grusch’s choice of words at the hearing. I chalked it up to ‘off the cuff’ responses, rather than carefully thought out word choices, but I recognize I could be mistaken. I’m trying to withhold any judgments one way or the other until more information is revealed.

    In my opinion, this topic has crossed the Rubicon, and I’m presuming we won’t have to wait too long for answers or clarity one way or the other.

      Unless there is no “there, there”, which is still my betting position. Anything that can or has been revealed in a SCIF to members of Congress is probably already known by other people in government, specifically in the Pentagon and Executive Branch, or as Grusch mentioned (IIRC, could have been one of the other two guys) the Gang of Four may know more than the rest of Congress.

      Unless I see compelling evidence to the contrary, the most likely and plausible explanation is that we’re just seeing a repeat of history. Which means we probably won’t actually know whatever cool tech is being occasionally glimpsed is for another few decades.

        Yeah, I’m interested in the whistleblower protections. I’m hopeful we’ll get some information through them. I have my doubts in getting unclassified evidence of anything.

        Whatever it is, if anything, Congress doesn’t appear to be letting this go. We’ll just have to see what happens.
