    I really wish there was some physical evidence.

    I’m torn. On the one hand we’ve had so many people claim something but their evidence is not forthcoming. On the other hand, would a scammer engage so officially with Congress? (Has Grusch been under oath yet?)

    I would love for there to be amazing new things for us to learn about, but everything so far has been sorely lacking evidence.

      Carl Sagan had the right approach I think

      “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”

      The way I see it, I’m not getting out of bed because someone says they got a story. Story’s, strange documents, fuzzy video from some guy. It’s no where close to the evidence I would need to believe. If your threshold to buy into bullshit is high, you’ll never be disappointed. But if you keep it low, it’ll be a weekly disappointment.

      If some one wants to prove something like this, then these story’s and fancy talking isn’t it. Give me something that couldn’t be faked or made up on the spot
