  2. Be Civil
    • No trolling or being disruptive.
    • No insults or personal attacks.
    • No accusations that other users are shills/agents. If you have some kind of evidence of this, please report instead.

Bummer. We needed more people like Grusch to have this be a really big event.

Graves and Fravor are just… “yeah, we saw UAPs.” That is, unless they reveal whistleblower style information.

And remember, “whistleblower” means they reveal criminal activity or otherwise harmful activity. Not just “secrets.” Whistleblowing is not just sharing information you think should be public. Like, “I saw weird stuff in the sky.” Or “I met an alien.” are not whistleblower worthy.

I understand, though having Graves and Fravor actually testify beings to light, in an official capacity, everything they have been saying in podcasts and blogs. When put under oath, congress has much more incentive, if not prerogative, to go after other pilots that the DoD has shielded from providing any information. This could drive new leads the phenomenon has needed: a program insider (though not directly), and pilots on record.
