I’ve heard a lot of arguments from skeptics, but I haven’t heard of a good reason why a lot of credible people high up in the government would be risking their safety, career, and credibility for a known lie? Are so many of our top military pilots and personnel so easily fooled by prosaic objects in the sky and bogus whistleblowers? Why would they lie about it? What would the benefit be? Who are all these supposed fake whistleblowers and why are they wasting their time? Why waste their time looking into this stuff when they could be working a nice job without the worry and headache of a bunch of nonsense?

Yes, there are a few people who may be profiting off of it, but many are not and even claim their safety is in jeopardy. The few that are selling books, doing paid appearances, podcasts, etc. are they really making that much money? If all of this is found to be a lie and nonsense in a few years, it doesn’t seem to be a good long term strategy. UFOs seem to generally be a very niche market and carries a stigma with it.

Grusch for instance has testified under oath (penalty of perjury) about information and he said he has had threats to the point he has contacted law enforcement (filing a false police report is a crime).
