I'm still really curious to hear what happens after the whistleblower case is resolved (if the public is told anything at all).
I watched an interview with him on News Nation just out of curiosity and I get the sense that he believes what he's saying, however I don't believe that the government would be capable of covering up the existence of some sort of non-human intelligence. I like the idea of being one of many different life forms in the universe, but so far no evidence has convinced me that humanity has discovered anything that indicates that we aren't alone.
