Was he high on hard drugs? Many other scientists have talked about the possibility of visitation as well. It's fine to think it's unlikely, but ruling it out basically as impossible is a lack of imagination. We're still cave man apes basically and we don't have it all figured out.
It is a gross misrepresentation of Stephen Hawking's position to suggest that he thought aliens were already visiting us.
I didn't claim Hawking suggested that (but if it was so obvious to you guys that UAP can't reach us, why couldn't Hawking see that obvious point?). I don't think aliens are already here, nor does Michael Shellenberger, who was given this information by several top intelligence officials. I just reject how this story was framed by the poster who originally posted about it. He made it out to be just like a national inquirer story. He ignored that Grusch provided evidence to the inspector general. He pretended that this was all third hand heresay when Shellenberger has spoken to supposed first hand witnesses. Do you think this story should not have been reported on? Should no respectable journalist have touched it? The point is, if the story was obviously not true, then why try to pretend that it's no different from a national enquirer story? It's like when people feel the need to add in lies to try to make a Trump news story sound 5 percent worse, when Trump already looks pretty damn bad if you would just report the complete truth about him. No need to add untruths to a news story when Trump can look pretty bad on his own based on the truth. If you guys feel the same about this Grusch story, then no need to exaggerate to throw Shellinberger and the news network that aired Grusch's interview under the bus. This is no national inquirer story.
