His testimony, for better or worse, pretty much revolves around aliens.
He’s either telling the truth and the answer is aliens, or he’s not and at that point nothing he says is reliable.

I was thinking of assuming everyone is telling the truth then are aliens the most likely outcome?
I still think it’s probably not the most likely as that still requires all of the challenges of aliens finding us that we have discussed previously. So what are the likelier options.
If you had a secret program doing some fairly illegal research that would be very problematic if it came out what would be the best way to hide it. First you compartmentalize and make it need to now so no one gets to find out about it using your standard security measures. But then so that you don’t get ethical objections from researchers you tell them it is found NHIs they are looking at. This also makes it so if any info ever does come out they are looked at as crackpots.
Same with the reverse engineering. Rather than tell the people working on these problems that we developed this tech you instead tell them the starting point is reverse engineered from space craft. This keeping whatever key breakthroughs away from peoples eyes and again making these people seem non credible when they release the information.
So if this starts to come out of the Scifs that we can’t talk about it anymore because of national security I think these are the types of possibilities of what actually happens.
So if Grusch is telling the truth I think a clandestine program of US based research using NHIs as a cover up is more likely than NHIs themselves.
