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

When the US was doing a terrible job at keeping COVID under control, we got UFO stories. When the Norfolk-Southern, East-Palestine OH thing was going down, we got UFO stories. Just a couple days ago, Earth hit its highest average global temperature in recorded history, and now we’re hearing of them again.

The only people who are stupid enough to not see through this are also the people stupid enough to believe in aliens

Indeed, and I’m perfectly convinced there are aliens in this vast universe of ours, I just think it’s absurd to believe that aliens who mastered interstellar travel have nothing better to do than to zip around here.

They also happen to only visit Amerika too. Aliens, for all I care, is a purely epistemological uncertainty. I stay agnostic on whether or not they are out there. What is absurd is that while all these devices we have pointing up at the sky to see and hear things from all the spectrums detected no UFOs, yet the aliens are just there hovering above Amerika. I would expect extraterrestrial life studies to come from some meticulously put-together study from scientists (who are very good at pattern recognition and also statistical reasoning). The simplest explanation here is that they’re just a distraction deployed en-masse.

Yeah exactly, if there were actual aliens visiting us then we’d expect to have a consistent amount of sightings around the world.

Earth’s civilisations are so backwards rn, too. If aliens did manage to get here, they would be far more advanced. It would be like walking to the shop and stopping to talk to an ants nest.

Entire civilization on Earth exist for mere 10000 years or so, of which we are barely noticable on really short range for 200. People just can’t imagine how space is stupidly mindboggingly huge and how much time is needed for anything to happen there.

For example: Probe like Voyager would need more time than our entire civilization existed to reach even the closest star. 8 times more time.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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