The hearing \u200cfeatured\u200d testimonies from two former U.S. Navy \u2064pilots, a \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/protesters-come-to-d-c-prison-to-support-jan-6-detainees\/\" title=\"Protesters come to D.C. prison to support Jan. 6 detainees\">decorated military veteran<\/a>, and\u2062 an intelligence\u2064 official-turned-whistleblower.<\/p>\n<p>But whether the truth about aliens and UFOs\u2064 will ever come to light remains uncertain. Shapiro and \u200cWalsh\u200b approach the \u2064topic by applying facts and\u200c logic, each with their \u2064own unique\u200d perspectives.<\/p>\n<h3>Shapiro&#8217;s Skepticism<\/h3>\n<p>During his show, Shapiro expressed \u200bhis skepticism, stating,\u200c &#8220;There are\u200b no aliens \u2063on planet Earth, other than perhaps \u200dBernie\u200b Sanders. There may be aliens in the\u2064 universe, but they \u2063haven&#8217;t found us yet.&#8221; \u200cHe drew a parallel to the Bigfoot debate, arguing that \u200cin today&#8217;s society, where everyone\u2064 has smartphones and social media, credible evidence of Bigfoot\u2063 would be widespread if so many people had truly encountered it.<\/p>\n<h3>Walsh&#8217;s Counterargument<\/h3>\n<p>Walsh, on \u200bthe other hand,\u200c disagreed with Shapiro and aimed to challenge his preconceived biases. He argued that \u200dShapiro&#8217;s predetermined \u200cresponse \u2063diminishes his\u2063 credibility \u200con the subject. Walsh emphasized the importance of examining the evidence objectively before forming\u200c conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Defense released a \u200dstatement from its All-domain\u200d Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which \u200cis responsible for investigating UFOs. The statement emphasized that \u200bno\u2062 verifiable information has been found to\u200b substantiate claims of extraterrestrial\u200d materials or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/done-with-the-cover-ups-lawmaker-announces-date-for-ufo-hearing\/\" title=\"Lawmaker sets date for UFO hearing, vows to end cover-ups.\">reverse-engineering programs<\/a>. AARO Director Sean\u2063 Kirkpatrick even found the\u200d hearing \u2064insulting to his team.<\/p>\n<p>However, \u200bduring sworn testimony before Congress, witness and whistleblower David \u2063Grusch, an Air Force\u2062 veteran and former\u2064 member\u2063 of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, claimed to know the exact locations where the U.S. government covertly keeps unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). While limited \u200din what\u2064 he \u200dcould disclose publicly, Grusch stated that he \u2064has provided these locations to an inspector general\u200c and\u200b some congressional intelligence panels.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh pointed\u200c out that UFO photos and \u200bvideo footage dating\u2062 back to the\u200d 1950s have yet \u2063to be \u2064debunked. Shapiro, however, remained unconvinced, citing the\u2062 need \u200cfor evidence that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-and-matt-walsh-spar-over-aliens\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh debate aliens.\">surpasses mere\u200d shadowy images defying<\/a>\u200d the\u200c laws of physics.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My friend \u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MattWalshBlog<\/a> thinks \u2064he destroyed me with\u200c &#8220;facts \u200cand logic&#8221; over aliens and UFOs\u2026but\u2062 here&#8217;s why he&#8217;s wrong.<\/p>\n<p>From ep. 1778: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PPRy8jDuda\">https:\/\/t.co\/PPRy8jDuda<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lBeX3vvPLt\">pic.twitter.com\/lBeX3vvPLt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Ben Shapiro Show\u2064 (@BenShapiroShow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BenShapiroShow\/status\/1686444650570072074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 1, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh debated the existence of extraterrestrial beings and UFOs following the U.S. Congress&#8217; first public hearing on reported military encounters with non-human crafts.
