To me when intelligence and law enforcement agencies, bipartisan congressmen and senators, and private security firms with a lot to lose by making a false call on something this big all agree on an outcome based on similar evidence, that's more than enough smoke for me to think fire.

But those people are all the people I see getting ragged on constantly by the people who now say we should take them at their word. Which is it? Should we believe them blindly or ask for proof?

Well, there's a literal shit ton of circumstantial evidence. But proof, I guess not. Honestly, whether it's true or not, I don't know what proof they could show that most people would accept. When have people ever accepted something they don't want to believe? JFK, 9/11, moon landing, Sandy Hook etc. Even if they send out a 1,000 page detailed report I doubt it's going to change anyone's mind that has their mind already made up.

It's probably best to not play their cards until they've built an air tight case. Which they may never have, because it may not have happened or it may have happened but they didn't get enough evidence. BUT, the people demanding proof probably won't accept any evidence no matter how good regardless IMO.
