    Just as lazy fun speculation, what implications would there be if there was something to this story? Posadist memes aside. I love brainstorming speculative scifi about this stuff as a writing exercise.

        There’s a book and a subsequent documentary called Mirage Men about UFO disinformation and the abuses behind it. Personally, I’m gonna start with that because I think the name is cooler lol

      I think UFOs/aliens are probably real but not what the government/media puts out

      the UFO posts I’ve seen on reddit almost make me feel like there’s a psyop against UFOs. There was some ridiculous Mexican hoax that went viral on reddit, as well as a video of a bird shit stain (a few days ago)

      it’s almost like they’re trying to discredit UFOs as not being real
      I think TPTB are smart enough to know that people don’t trust them, so they’ll play crap like this (pretending UFOs are real when they’re indeed actually real, but ofc leaving out vital info and even seeding their stories with fake info so that you cant ascertain the truth by either accepting or 100% rejecting their position)

        I think aliens are real too, but there’s absolutely no way anything otherworldly and high tech will be talked about publicly like this. Especially in this piecemeal weekly drama episode bullshit being retold by congresspeople of all people lol.

        There’s no reason for a limited hangout right now since “UFO researchers” or “UFO leaks” are all fringe / spectacle and don’t affect the government’s operations. This is just pure distraction psyop.

        If some alien was captured in Nebraska or Siberia and broadcasted everywhere, THEN I would believe these disclosures as limited hangout.

        See the other reply to my OP. There are some books that talk about the government’s involvement with pushing UFO stories for various reasons.

        The UFO’s take the shape of technology humans can understand. In ancient times they were flaming chariots. On Gilligan’s Island they were made of coconuts. Dogs see them as a floating version of the loveseat they are forbidden to climb on after they puked on it.

        As technology evolves, people have more vivid imaginations. Back then vehicles were round and relatively simple looking, so you can only create a hoax based on that.

        Or maybe aliens just evolved alongside us and ditched their reliable, invincible bell UFOs because they fell for the marketing for the Xenu Motors Silverado FTL Model
