What do you guys think about Aliens/UAP whistleblower stuff ? (m.youtube.com)

I watched this new whistleblower guys testimony and for the first time I actually believe what’s being presented. Elizondo comes off as a grifter/actor, but I don’t know. Something about this testimony feels honest and real. Not another complete embarrassment like Jake Barber / Skywatcher crew just trying to get a new show like skinwalker ranch going. Him talking about covert spy satellites making up a lot of UAP stuff made good sense to me, and some of the more incredible stuff like the Russians studying perhaps even interacting with UAP phenomena really made my jaw drop. Learning about the secret internet within the pentagon was really cool. It feels like a crime to withhold all that knowledge from the public though, But I don’t know anything. What do you smart people out there think is going on?

Distraction. I am 99.999999% a believer in extraterrestrial intelligent life. If this shit was real, I think it would be REAL real.

I don't think it's a distraction. I think it's people who are too bought in on conspiracy theories and desperately want there to be some kind of spy thriller conspiracy to uncover. They just really want the world to be less mundane and banal than it is, so they latch onto a single thread while ignoring the overwhelming weight of evidence.

I think calling it a distraction is itself a conspiracy theory. Who is orchestrating this distraction? What are they supposedly distracting from?
