I’m still flabbergasted that this known fraud and liar managed to get his sad, kindergarten-level papier maché project before a congressional body. Legit thought it was The Onion when the story broke, and then facepalmed for days whilst it was taken seriously by ufologists.

Guys, this is why we laugh at you. It’s great to be open-minded, but please, please learn critical thinking. Christ.
