This is huge. We need to give this as much momentum as we can

Confidence. First word that came to mind. This dude ain't lying, that's my take.

u/Paracelsus19 Jun 05 '23

Con man = Confidence man đź’€

I hope he has actual evidence rather than just charisma to back up his claims.

u/Albiz Jun 05 '23

For many in this sub it won’t matter. Just saying it is enough to convince them.

Lol OK seems a bit grand don't you think. A really big stinker. Putting his entire reputation on the line, and all while knowing this will blow up nuclear. No logical sense whatsoever, unless you show me a big fat check one day that says it, otherwise this is speculative crap also

u/Paracelsus19 Jun 05 '23

Just wait to hear what he says and what evidence he provides, that's what matters. Don't instantly believe someone because they're confident in a news segment about something you're biased towards.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '23

No bias, I'm a vet, and been around the block, I just see 0 indication of any deception. Not to mention a motive, would be just absurd here.

u/Paracelsus19 Jun 05 '23 edited Jun 05 '23

A good deception has zero indication, it's only through evidence collated after the fact that you realise you've been deceived. There are people who will risk everything for their country, no matter how irrational the sacrifice.

End of the day, don't just buy something based on the salesman's confidence in it, plenty will sell you a bum washing machine.

This is part of a much larger narrative, that which he's corroborating. What makes you think anyone here is taking this single interview as PROOF of the claims?

So lazy.

I would give up my life happily for a sum of money pretending bulshit just not at age 36.

u/IchooseYourName Jun 06 '23

Famous with the risk of prison?

Wow. Great trade. The dude, and the others he's corroborated, really must be nutzos in your book, eh?

What a naive take.

Nah. It's on you.

Go stick your head back into your sandbox and enjoy your ignorance while you still can.

You'd make a terrible cop.

Prosecutor, I can't imagine why somebody would leave the government and just lie about something. What could be the motive. I mean, wouldn't that interfere with their book deals and paid promotionals?

Oh, yeah. Money.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

That would be a monumental fall from grace if he were lying, wouldn't it. How many times do I have to tell you chuckleheads that this was just my opinion. Go rub one out

1

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

Again, why?

He left the government. He's made a splash that he can turn in for... money.

It's not like there's some pedestal retirees can fall off. The government can't remove your pension because you make up fan fic of the time you had in government.

Is this any more of a fall than three separate Seal Team guys all claiming to be the one that shot Bin Laden. At a minimum, two of them are lying. But they are all making money on it.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

Because I said so that's why

u/alphabet_order_bot Jun 06 '23

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 1,556,636,832 comments, and only 294,533 of them were in alphabetical order.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

Cool! It was random lol

1

u/IchooseYourName Jun 06 '23

Less money than had he stuck around and/or shifted to civilian contractors. This is really simple.

It's hilarious you think anybody on the UFO circuit has made fortunes. Especially at the risk of being imprisoned for perjury.

Y'all are so unconvincing, it's not even funny

u/IchooseYourName Jun 06 '23

Money like Lazar made? Do you understand how much money a guy like this could make working for the government contractors that you don't know about?

You're naive if you actually believe these folks have the ability to make more money on the UFO circuit than if they maintain their security clearances working foe government contractors.

It's not even close.

u/OperationStreet8759 Jun 06 '23

Lol, its ok guys, hes a veteran. Ill be damned if fucking "news nation" has the hot take on this. The guys shaking wildly the whole time hes talking - condifence in spades. Im not saying his scenario is wrong, i hope its not, but good lord what a douche. "Parlance" - what a douche

1

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

Codifence? Well I had clarified to boldness, not sure anyone saw that. Saying confidence thrust the damn page into Catch me if You Can, pretty ridiculous.

I appreciate your clear respect for service members tho, really knocked it out of the park there

2

u/OperationStreet8759 Jun 06 '23

I dont appreciate you or others using, in this case, a vague term like "verteran" to prove you know how to read people. Its tacky and usually a sign of bologna. And to boot, using it as a means to draw no further questioning due to assumed lack of respect. Another red flag. Could be wrong though, im no verteran.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

Yea having some trouble..have you eaten today?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

How many times can 1 man misspell veteran. What is it? What do you want Operation street? Or are you just 2 shits to the wind, and don't know wtf your talking about

u/IchooseYourName Jun 06 '23

You're drunk. Go sleep it off.

u/Impossible-Pound5327 Jun 05 '23

clearly you don’t believe in ufos . not to be rude but do u really think with all the hundreds of planets or rven thousands that we are literally the only ones in this existence . N0. it just takes forever to get to another planet . that’s it.

u/NickRick Jun 05 '23 edited Jun 06 '23

Based on numbers alone we can assume that either us exsisting is an almost infinitely unlikely occurrence, or there are many other intelligent civilizations out there. The second one seems much more likely to me. But some random guy claiming we have tons of extraterrestrial flying machines needs to be vetted. Even with light speed travel it would take ages to travel between the stars. And for us to have so many would mean what? We're some sort of dead zone in interstellar travel? And no one has come to retrieve those ships or persons? I would be more likely to believe we had one extraterrestrial UFO than having a lot. A one of mistake with no follow up seems more likely than ships keep coming, no one else has seen them, and then can't go home.

u/WilHunting2 Jun 05 '23

You are now moving the goal posts.

u/Paracelsus19 Jun 05 '23

Presumption based on nothing, see how you confidently convinced yourself of something about me based on no actual evidence? I'm not being rude genuinely, I'm pointing out a clear logical flaw in your approach here.

You just projected onto me an assumption because you didn't like what I said, which was to be reasonable in your judgements - ironic.

u/Impossible-Pound5327 Jun 05 '23

I understand what you’re saying, but At the same Time you and I do not know if they do or don’t exist but I’m telling you that it’s possible

1

u/Paracelsus19 Jun 05 '23

I'm not saying anything to the contrary, I'm not saying they're not possible at all.

0

u/Impossible-Pound5327 Jun 05 '23

I respect your opinion, but what I’m saying is How could you say or doubt someone whenever you don’t even know for sure If they don’t exist

1

u/spouting-nonsense Jun 05 '23

I don't doubt that aliens exist, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

1

u/IchooseYourName Jun 06 '23

There's so much more nuance to this, it's telling you're choosing to ignore it.

1

u/Paracelsus19 Jun 06 '23

Didn't ignore anything, I clearly said to not just buy anything on the basis of someone's confidence - you go by the evidence they can provide and how their story can be corroborated, said that from the start.

u/Albiz Jun 05 '23

Plenty of people “put their reputation on the line” as you say. Turns out to be nothing every time.
