Another declassified study shows the Air Force misled the public in the 1950s about UFOs to conceal the CIA’s spy plane testing.

Does the last sentence meant the 96% of the UFO sightings are explainable by the USAF?

Shouldn’t we call them IFO (identified flying objects) then?

There’s this map going around somewhere about where people report UFO sightings and it is no joke mainly in the US or other Western countries, with often advanced militaries. You can bet that UFO sightings are 100% related to (secret) air force incidents.

Seems so. Plus (it’s not in the screenshot):

By 2024 that number would fall again, to 2% of all hot air balloons.

Weird. I’ve been seeing a ton of “alien” news this week. Wonder what’s actually happening

We can only speculate as our governments act secretly on people’s back. It’s probably part of the spreading up conspiracies campaign we have seen over the past years aimed at making everyone who disagree with authorities looks like a fool. The ufo stuff may be a psyop to redirect attention from war planes/drones/satellites weapons and everything related to it for example lunch sites or retrieval of broken equipment that falls around

What could happening right now that they would want to cover up so ferociously? And north american MSM is barely covering the UFO thing for what it is.

I wanted to read the original source of this, and went down a rabbit hole. this doc here details the lies that they would tell the American people. There’s another one where they openly talk about telling the media what to say. And a follow up here and here. Also a nice review of a conservative radio host doing what he was told.

But I think that the cherry on top is this telegram with instructions for local media. One of the talking points that they want them to talk about are communist attacks on the free press. You can’t make that shit up.

I never did find the original document (there are a LOT of telegrams to go through), and I’m tired of reading about these scumbags. It’s all there in black and white, plain as day. Why do the liberals keep on believing what these assholes have to say?

They’ve been doing UFO stories nonstop and it’s just getting more and more blatant that they’re hiding something.
