    yeah those videos released by the pentagon, then all those hearings with pilots and an ex-intelligence guy, then nasa coming out and confirming there is unidentified stuff flying around…

    we are either looking at gradual disclosure or a huge con at this point

      Or just ignoring the details because believing fantastic things keeps hope alive.

      NASA didn’t remotely hint that it’d be aliens responsible, and in fact said they thinks it’s probably not aliens, depsite not being able to confirm exactly which objects are what.

      And to add to that, a lot of the things they ‘can’t identify’ aren’t actually unidentifiable, they’re just not allowed to be discussed with the public, for the same reason why some things are blurred on Google Earth and all the same conspiracy people come out going ‘SEE?! PROOF!’, no, dude… national security secrets. Simple. We don’t want China and Russia stealing our next generation drone technology, that’s what UFOs are. Occam’s Razor; sometimes the simplest answer is the most likely to be true. But what do I know. There will sure be egg on my face when they aliens come out on the news and say “what up, human dudes?”.

        it is reported by the pentagon they detected those objects going super fast in a way no other tech can do. i dont think china can do this when they can barely keep up with phones without relying on western supply chains. russia is sending soviet-era weapons to the battlefield in 2023.

        and i wasnt implying nasa said anything about aliens. they said they could not identify the phenomenon

        science usually puts aliens on the very end of plausible explanations for very good reason, but this has a good chance of being something we dont know yet, even if its not aliens.

        unless its just a big con, which i think its unlikely now that a couple of reputable (even if american) institutions are saying something is up.

        mind you though, we aint talking about blurry videos, but about released footage from the pentagon
