    Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer added the UAP amendment to the NDAA. And, Democrat Congressman Jared Moskowitz is one of the main three in Congress pursuing UAP disclosure alongside Republicans Anna Paulina Luna and Tim Burchett. It’s a bipartisan issue. I don’t think an individual’s political stances should discredit every statement they make, especially when it’s a non-partisan issue.

      It really amazes me how many users come to this community just to try to talk down to people, and that they are upvoted despite pushing verifiably false information.

      I say this as a Democrat, but it seems like it’s mostly the left bandwagon dismissing this information. They treat it like some anti-vaxxer propoganda, and reject the evidence without honestly evaluating it.

      It’s so hilariously hypocritical to come in here blasting people for misinformation when all they’re doing is parroting talking points without verifying the info, just like the trump supports they ridicule for doing the same thing.

      Hypocrites with their heads in the sand.

        Yeah, I get a similar vibe from combative skeptics on this topic. There are some politicians pursuing this subject that I thoroughly despise, but I know when to set aside differences and agree with them. And, it’s strange to turn this into a partisan issue. Right now the biggest issue being addressed is transparency and oversight. But, people just get wrapped up in the potential “alien” aspect of it.

          You are absolutely right. It’s constantly and often intentionally misconstrued as an alien issue, which detracts from the seriousness of the issue and illicits knee-jerk reactions from people. That’s why you have rational and reasonable people totally write off the issue without any consideration. Which I myself was guilty of until the 2017 NYT publication.

        Pay no attention to those who have not seriously looked into the topic and only come in to take pot shots and down vote rather than have a meaningful discussion.

          Oh I don’t get upset by the downvotes, I just wanted to call out the ignorance. This is a community focused on UAP and they basically come in and vote brigade.

          People think the votes are dis/agreement buttons and abuse them as such. Downvoting dissenting opinions just suppresses discussion and breeds toxic echo-chamers.

          Whether they want to believe it or not, their behavior is counter-productive to a healthy functioning site. They can downvote all they want. It doesn’t change the truth.
