I'm trying to think if there is a skeptic in the public eye who is true to the tenets? I can't think of one.
I can't think of one who is worth their salt.
Bloody good point.

• PS Of all the claims Grusch could have made did find it telling he brought up Mussolini - put me in mind of these documents from waaay back but pretty sure they were never independently verified.
Italian Researcher Shares Extraordinary Evidence Files of World's 'First' UFO Crash-14 Years Before Roswell-and the Secret Department Set Up by Mussolini's Government to Study the Craft That Was Later Captured by US Forces The Daily Mail
David Grusch's "whistleblower" testimony about crash-retrievals has re-ignited controversy about a Vatican connection to a nascent US effort. Josh Boswell and Chris Sharp report an exclusive interview with Roberto Pinotti, who with colleague Alfredo Lissoni received±beginning in 1996—documents regarding the Mussolini regime's UFO interests and study of at least one crashed UFO. An Italian "MJ-12"? Pinotti's Daily Mail claims have Sascha Brodsky writing A Researcher Says the First UFO Really Crashed in Italy in 1933. And He Has Evidence for Popular Mechanics, no less. Brodsky also notes that Grusch's claims have energized "The renewed UAP interest" in government.
Other Italian ufologists have long published telling observations against the provenance and dating of the claim, the Pinotti/Lissoni pair's interpretations, and their refusal to allow others to see the documents. Micah Hanks brings things current in his Italy's Fascist UFO Files: Crashes, Coverups, and the RS/33 Cabinet. Though there may have been pre-WWII UFO sightings in Italy, the 1933 Magenta crash story appears around 2000, and an actual Vatican participation in events may have first been asserted by William "Billy" Brophy in 2010. Billy Brophy claimed his father figured in the 1945 "Trinity" and another crash, and is generally discounted as a source. Hanks speculates the entire 1933 crash/retrieval story plus an eventual Vatican/US "deal" may be US-style "misinformation" spread beyond American borders to confuse our potential adversaries. If so, David Grusch didn't have the facts in this instance.

The UFO circus is probably a billion dollars industry in the US. The moment you give the subject to actual scientists like NASA or Kirkpatrick, these clowns will lose control over the narrative to milk believers and gullible officials with their products and fake-science/defense programs. I find interesting their newest champion is being pushed like 2 weeks after NASA conference. Grusch has been groomed by the likes of Zondo, Travis Taylor and Jay Stratton while serving in this joke of UAP task force.
