"Things are flying over sensitive restricted airspace in the US, and they claim it's not ours," he said.

"That alone is reason to look into this stuff. My biggest fear in all this, frankly, is that some adversary has made a technological leap."

"That would be really bad news, and we would be caught flat-footed on it."

Rubio also touched upon the subject of UFO whistleblowers such as David Grusch who had controversially claimed that the US government has been involved in a "multi-decade" program to recover and attempt to reverse-engineer crashed UFOs (or UAPs).

He had also claimed that "non-human biologics" had been found at some of the crash sites."One of two things here are true," said Rubio. "Either what he is saying is true or partially true, or we have some really smart, educated people with high clearances and very important positions in our government who are crazy and leading us on a goose chase."

"Either one is a problem."

Overall, he argues, it is difficult to assess credibility due to the stigma attached to the subject.

"What incentive would people with those qualifications have, these are very serious people, to come forward and make something up ?" he asked.

He does make a good point, but then perhaps it's possible that individuals like Grusch are basing their claims on rumors that they believe to be true, even if they aren't.

Ultimately, without full disclosure, we may never know for sure what is true and what isn't.
