I find it curious that this have seemingly been worked on for decades and that the book was published years before the recent hearings that brought up the incident again. It could either support the claim as an independent third party, but could as easily be the source of the claims as well.
That's a big concern for me. Either "everything" is true or nothing is seems to be one set of extreme outcomes. I mean what if it were all true? Mind blown.
I have to wonder if he's mixed in some things like this in this media interviews to have some plausible deniability. "Oh, yeah, I read that somewhere." As in "I was never divulging secrets publically, just relating things I believe to be true from the public domain". That doesn't mean he doesn't know the real info as well.
Edit: sorry, I wanted to finish this thought. What I am saying is when he got clearance to talk publicly about these things, he was cleared because nothing he said he wanted to discuss was classified. He could have easily cited various ufology books and articles as the source of his information. That leaves him free to speak to the media (raising awareness and ensuring he had a public profile) while also talking in SCIFs about the actual info.
I made a post on the original media regarding the crash. I feel that the researcher of the original book was eager to fill in some gaps in the story and published some incorrect speculations. What I found was minor and didn’t impact the potential scale of the event. There’s little record for a lot of these events and oral history gets skewed each time it’s told. However, I don’t think that should cast doubt on the story as a whole.
I also feel that Grusch wouldn’t have cited this specific event if he didn’t see or hear more than what we have access to. I’d take a lot of the specifics in books and articles with a grain of salt. But, I feel like there’s more to this story that will hopefully come to light.
And, by the way, the books “UFO Contacts in Italy” are interesting. They’re mostly chronological listings of UFO sightings and interviews. The author was definitely passionate in creating them.
Thanks for linking this. I was getting ready to do the same.
