Isn't it more likely other countries are in possession of crashed alien craft and bodies of pilots/passengers?
yes.. yes it is more likely

Do we even need pilots anymore? Shouldn’t we have a non-pilot military fighter jet, being flown by AI instead?
I didn’t read anything of the new fighter having AI incorporated.

Might be important to note that the term "biologics" doesn't necessarily mean "bodies", or even body parts (ie. limbs, organs, etc.).
"Biologics" could" refer to any non-inorganic material which could include tissue(s), or even tissue-like structures interfacing with, or acting as, control systems.
Interdimensional humanoid ectoplasm
Maybe! 😆
Assuming what the whistleblowers are talking about is accurate and there really are beings of extraterrestrial origin who've made an effort to visit Earth, in the flesh...then I'm like 99.999999% certain that any such entities are either fully interdimensional, or are of the same dimension as us but are capable of interdimensional travel.
I say this because I just don't believe that physical/material/velocity-based FTL travel is possible - in truth, I have serious doubts about the realistic viability of anything that would violate FTL across large distances, including interdimensional shortcuts. As such, the idea that any race of intelligent beings would ever make such a journey across the (presumably vast) distances of space just to dick around on Earth just seems utterly ludicrous, if not outright impossible.
Even at light speed travel, it would take beings from another star system several years - if not decades, centuries, or eons - to reach us, and the resources needed for such a visit would seemingly have to be much larger than anything that we can currently envision. At extremely fast, relativistic, but sub-light speed travel, any being on course to Earth from another system would be looking at several decades or centuries at the absolute minimum, and literally tens if not hundreds of thousands or millions of years just within our local group alone.
That's just way too far for actual physical entities to travel imo - regardlessof their level technology. As such, if we really are being visited by ETs, then these beings most realistically either:
1) Come from a parallel dimension / universe that "overlaps" with our own
2) Originate within our Solar System, with bases on the Moon or Antarctica
3) Oririginate on Earth, but are "biologically alien"
If we're dealing with Option 1, then any such beings would probably be utilizing some kind of rift that would allow them to bridge dimensions. If this separate dimension is spatially superimposed over our own, then traveling between this rift wouldn't violate the limit of lightspeed travel - for all I know, their realm could look just like Earth and occupied the same point in reality, and phasing between the two might be more or less instantaneous - but, that's obviously speculative. Although I'm not a religious type, I also wouldn't rule out the possibility of these types of entities being literal demons or angels - or something that would at least strongly align with traditional (and perhaps accurate) depictions of such beings.
With the 2nd Option, I think we're probably looking at beings who occupy the Moon, or some other relatively close, massive object - whether or not they would actually natively originate from the Moon or nearby object, or are simply utilizing these locations as temporary/periodic base(s) of operations is another question entirely. Either way, the Moon would be a very practical place from which to study Earth - especially if ETs were interested in performing manned expeditions to and from our planet's sky and surface. Antarctica would also be ideal, especially if they these beings are interested in living here full time, as it were.
And, with Option 3, we've got the emergence of terrestrial, likely sub-surface life that is so evolutionarily distinct from us that they may as well be alien (humanoid ectoplasm!) If these beings emerged from an entirely separate abiogenesis, then that their DNA (or whatever would constitute their genetic structure) would be 100% different from anything that we know of in our own biosphere, and we would thus have no common ancestor. Although it's doubtful that a shadow biosphere of that magnitude could exist for so long without detection, we've also barely dug below the surface of the Earth - like, not even a mile - so I think it's definitely worth considering that possibility.
I could go on for days about the "less likely" options, but I've already written far more than I intended, so I think I'll leave it at that for now.
All else being equal, perhaps that would be so, but all else is not equal.

If you're one of those folks poking fun at how David Grusch speaks, or is buying into the idea that, "Grusch is being deceptive because his body language says so"?
Ross Coulthart: "It doesn't take into account the quite understandable differences between somebody who, on Dave's admission, he's autistic, and he was also talking about the most incredible story in human history. I think he can be excused for feeling slightly nervous."

Haven’t posted in ages. Can anyone shed light on the whistleblower as far as his access to the information? Is it reasonable to believe that he could have gained the knowledge that he testified to? Thanks
