This is an interesting discussion on The Lawfare Podcast with Washington Post national security reporter Shane Harris. They discuss the recent Oversight Committee hearing and the UAP phenomenon more broadly. Harris seems fairly open-minded about the claims being made and while maintaining a healthy level of skepticism.
I second this recommendation. I listened to it earlier today and found myself in agreement with practically everything OP said. I would have been interested in hearing their perspective on the Inspector General receiving evidence from firsthand witnesses to substantiate Mr. Grusch’s claims. Perhaps they were not aware of this, or they might have chosen to only discuss the hearing and the information that was publicly available. Nonetheless, they’ve gained another listener.
