Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said on Sunday that the recent claims of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) by the Pentagon may be “the biggest story in human history.”
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, emphasized the gravity of the situation several weeks after David Grusch, a U.S. military and intelligence veteran, shared allegations about craft of non-human origin being retrieved and illegally kept from Congress.
“We have people that have very high clearances both today and in the past, who did really important work for our government or continue to do important work for the government, who have come forward with some claims about the U.S. having in the past recovered exotic materials and then reversed engineered those materials to make advances in our own defenses and technologies,” Rubio said during an interview Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday evening.
“Either they’re telling the truth, and that is something that obviously would be the biggest story in human history, or we have people in really important positions in government who are crazy, and who are out there making up stories, and who are still in positions of importance,” Rubio said. “Either one is a big problem. So we’ve got to figure out which one of these two it is, because the second one in particular would be very troubling.”
“All we know are the claims that people have made. These are credible people that have done and continue to do important work for the country. And by law, we’re required, when they come forward as whistleblowers, to take their claims seriously and to investigate them,” Rubio told Hannity, “But we just don’t know. That’s the answer.”
Rubio said that the committee is still trying to determine what the UAPs are. He said that the committee is looking at a number of possibilities, including the possibility that the UAPs are “foreign adversaries” or that they are “something else entirely.”
“We don’t know what they are,” Rubio said. “But we need to find out.”
