Geoff Ingersoll dismisses UFO claims as baseless and absurd

In a Friday newsletter, Geoff Ingersoll argues that UFOs and extraterrestrials are fictitious, calling recent whistle-blower claims nonsense.

Geoff Ingersoll used his State of the Day newsletter to declare that UFOs and alien beings do not exist, labeling recent allegations as “fake and gay.” He referenced former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch, who claimed a hidden war between “gray” and “reptilian” aliens, and dismissed the story as implausible given global sensor coverage. Ingersoll highlighted Grusch’s background in weather tracking and satellite operations, suggesting such roles are far removed from any secret alien investigations.

He explained that most UAP videos are optical artifacts like parallax, not actual moving objects. The column also linked the UFO craze to broader societal manias and argued that interstellar travel is biologically impossible, concluding that belief in aliens reflects a collective desire not to be alone.

Why it matters

The piece reflects ongoing skepticism toward UFO disclosures and influences public perception of government transparency.
