The specter of UFOs and little green men visited Mexico City as lawmakers heard testimony from researchers suggesting the possibility that extraterrestrials might exist.

Supposed aliens landed in Mexico’s Congress but there were no saucer-shaped UFOs hovering over the historic building or bright green invaders like those seen in Hollywood films.

The specter of little green men visited Mexico City as lawmakers heard testimony Tuesday from individuals suggesting the possibility that extraterrestrials might exist. The researchers hailed from Mexico, the United States, Japan and Brazil.

The session, unprecedented in the Mexican Congress, took place two months after a similar one before the U.S. Congress in which a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer claimed his country has probably been aware of “non-human” activity since the 1930s.

    we’re not even allowing broad, legitimate discourse about this topic without mockery and eye brow raising.

    Blame the decades (over a century?) of grifters taking advantage of people’s gullibility.

    It doesn’t help that there is not a single solid proof, or that top secret information is not just available to anyone with a clearance, but only on a “need to know” basis. If there was actual proof, and there was an actual aircraft, or even actual contact… what would you do with that knowledge? Do you “need” to know, or just “want” to know?

    As far as I see, there are three possible scenarios:

    1. There is nothing, it’s just a bunch of sensor glitches, visual illusions, and imagination from people who want to believe.
    2. There are no ETs, just advanced technology, that no country wants to reveal before using it by surprise in the next war.
    3. There are ETs, the technology is millennia more advanced than ours, for all intents and purposes it looks like magic, we can’t reverse-engineer it, or stop it, or even properly detect it, and we may not even be the ones deciding who gets to know.

    Which one would you want to believe?

    I’ve personally known people whose accounts point to scenario 3… even I have personally seen things that have been hard to explain… but without proof, they could all be just a mix of 1 and 2.

    Or a glitch in the Matrix 🤷
