I have a guess about why aliens suddenly became a congressional issue. I remember after Harry Reid retired, there was a sudden spurt of aliens news with a new Navy pilot video that leaked or was released.

I noticed that some lieutenant colonel I think was interviewed several times about how he had been the designated UFO (or whatever they call it now) dept leader in the Pentagon.

Turns out his position had been eliminated and the department closed down. Well it seems like Harry Reid had some buddies in Nevada running a contract agency researching aliens and getting money from that program to produce basically worthless secret research papers on aliens. Pretty nice work if you can get it huh?

So my guess was that Harry Reid's buddies wanted more alien research contracts. Now I figure the same thing is going on again. I mean, $40 billion of defense spending slush fund for Ukraine is good, but it might be subject to at least some minimal audit and the spending does have to pretend to be related to Ukraine somehow. What about an alien research slush fund whose object is to produce secret reports? Now that is some low accountability spending.

Appropriations are everything in D.C. Plausible excuses to extract money for your clients are the most desirable thing. Look at monkeypox. For all we know it will disappear next week since the news hype and outbreak already secured a $115 million contract for smallpox vaccines. Or maybe it will go on a bit longer until they shake a bit more money off the money tree for some treatments and research.
