>If your evidence that any part of UFO folklore is definitely false is just that “the US government said it was [x]”, you shouldn’t be surprised if people don’t find that convincing!
Luckily, no skeptic of the UFO narrative has just the government's word as evidence to the contrary.
What's weird is that the same people claiming you shouldn't trust the government when it denies the UFO narrative are using the government and its integrity to argue that Grusch et. al must be telling the truth, that Grusch is a man of unquestioned integrity and honor and no one would just go in front of Congress and tell lies. The same government which has apparently been orchestrating a sprawling conspiracy of lies and psy-ops around UFOs for almost a hundred years, but for some weird reason respects the bureaucracy enough that they'll just let Grusch blow the lid off of the whole affair.
Even though that hasn't really happened yet. I'm sure it'll happen any day now.

You can't have it both ways.
