    The military is expected to have secrets. Having weapons platform research or opfor intel is not a conspiracy.

    Also, many things are classified (perhaps needlessly) as a matter of course.

    None of this points to aliens over anything more mundane (and I know you’re not necessarily saying that it does.)

      Thia is not military spending. The claim and documents provided privately apparently show misappropriate funding for the retrieval and research of this with no oversight. If this is a secret military programme then it’s illegally funded and not complying with Congress notification, it’s a secret programme even from government. The least it is is a cover-up and significant fraud.

        The military misappropriates funds and dodges oversight constantly.

        That doesn’t, in any way, point to aliens.

        There are far better venues to reign in the military than a credulous hearing on UAPs.

        I think this is vital. Just because the military has legitimate secrets (weapons technology, strategies) doesn’t mean it can’t also have illegitimate secrets (crimes, waste of money, incompetence, anti-democratic conduct). It would be surprising if an institution as big as the US military didn’t have it’s fair share of both types.
