    Back around… 2020 or so we had a release of files that were basically ‘There are some weird flying things and we have no clue what they were’. After that we had that some coverage a few years back confirming that all of that led to ‘No definite evidence of aliens’ but I feel like I remember just last year we had a congressional hearing with some guy who worked for the DoD saying Aliens did exist and we had captured some of those UAPs. However, then again… I do think said guy who was most vocal on those hearings had a book he was trying real hard to sell.

    Who wants to take the bet that Trump is going to take a financial interest in some guy selling books on this and prop him up as ‘the’ expert.

      Most old UFO sightings were in areas that are now known to be places where drone technology was being developed and tested.

        I feel like that’s something a lot of people are just not thinking about for some reason

        There’s a simple explanation for the weird videos, and why the government didn’t want to talk about them. And it’s just it being experimental military technology

        Yeah, that makes sense. No way we’d have drones without alien tech.

      some guy who worked for the DoD

      David Grusch I think his name is, from memory.

      a book he was trying to sell

      That’s probably Ross Coulthard (whose book isn’t bad btw) who’d just released his book and was promoting Grusch’s story.

      That sound familiar to you?
