I thought the Grusch news a few months back was going to be... something, but it hasn't been.
All we get (if you peruse the UFOs subreddit at least, or twitter) is people like george knapf and the other dude that makes the documentaries like skyranch, everyday saying stuff like "My source in DOD says BIG intel drop coming VERY SOON.". They literally say that stuff everyday. It's getting to QAnon levels of ridiculous.
I've always loved that phrase, as it unpacks so many ways. Have the original version of the poster in my office.
I want to believe
As in, you currently do not, but you desire to, but you need something to convince you, and the current evidence you've seen is unconvincing, which means you have standards of proof.
It doesn't get more honestly scientific than that.

A lot of people “want to believe” their ideas are correct, and end up smudging some data points to justify their biases.
That's skipping right past the tension inherent in wanting, straight into believing.
Which is what happens.
Not in the originating Mulder's case.
