After multiple reports regarding UFOs or aliens and their existence, a recent military whistleblower shed more light on how the government had programs designed to extract and reverse-engineer these UAPs. As such, other enthusiasts and alien hunters have expressed how there were issues regarding the recent claims.
Alien Hunter Claims
According to Futurism, there are some serious issues that an actual alien hunter had regarding the recent claims. These concerns were shared not by just any alien hunter, but the actual senior astronomer of the SETI Institute.
As noted by MSNBC editorial, Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, said that the claims made by David Grusch, a military intelligence whistleblower, felt "hollow" and that they had "zero corroborating evidence."
Shostak said that since the claims were extraordinary, there was also a need for the evidence to be extraordinary. As such, the senior astronomer then questioned where the evidence was and if it really existed, there would be thousands of scientists trying to study it, and that it would result in them fighting each other for it.
Gallup reports that Gursch is joined by many other believers regarding there being verifiable proof regarding extraterrestrial existence and technology. Their allegations were that the government was hiding the proof for reasons unknown.

Further Evidence Requested
Shostak still argues that despite the US government and others hiding evidence regarding alien lifeforms and ETs, there were thousands of satellites in orbit. It was then suggested that due to the number of satellites, there would've been video or photo proof of them.
The senior astronomer also noted that although there could be cover-up conspiracies regarding alien evidence, it's hard to see why this would continue. Shostak also highlighted that should the cover-up conspiracy be real, another question was why they kept visiting the United States.
Despite this, Shostak remains a strong believer in alien life. However, he commented on how things didn't add up regarding how the government would be keeping the "ruse" for as long as the claims suggest.
The SETI astronomer said that he maintained how alien visitations aren't something that anybody would possibly hide for such long. Shostak claimed that this was because of how big the secret was.
UFO Whistleblower
Gursh, the recently popular UFO whistleblower, is an Air Force veteran and a former National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency member. He has recently become popular for alleging that the US government was hiding evidence of extraterrestrial life.
He even noted that there were missions by the US government attempting to reverse-engineer what they had found. As such, Gursch said that the government had discovered an alien spacecraft and that they had kept the information away from the public.
The UFO whistleblower alleged that he learned of a multi-decade program that wanted to retrieve a UAP that crashed and reverse engineer their findings.
