"Too many redirects occurred trying to open “https://fakenous.net/?p=2365/wp-admin/install.php”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page, which then is redirected to open the original page."

EDIT: I'd love to understand the downvote, considering as I write this the linked website is still presenting an open installer wizard for Wordpress!

Interesting thought, but once we find Aliens, then we ourselves also become Aliens...too the other species.

Indeed if you look up the definition in dictionaries for the word "Alien" you get definitions all routed in `fear of the unknown`. For example Colins: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/alien

Makes you wonder how things can be interpreted and some extraterrestrial species did discover us, would they have the same fear of the unknown definition.

Also https://fakenous.net/ looks like someone's installing a new Wordpress. I've seen this situation before and was able to literally install Wordpress on someone's server.

Yes was coming here to comment. Went to root directory and was able to access Wordpress installation.

It is nice to see some more rational explanations for these videos (instead of the constant alien/ufo drivel from most media outlets). The thing that still confuses me, though, is how these videos became a thing in the first place. We are not talking about some random civilians with a Polaroid trying to get pics of a lake monster. The Navy has (presumably high-tech) equipment for finding and tracking airborne phenomena and it is operated by (presumably qualified) professionals. It seems mission-critical that this technology/personnel would be able to accurately distinguish between lens flare/parallax/etc and actual aircraft maneuvers.

I get that not everyone in the Navy has access to the same equipment/expertise, so maybe this is just a matter of some easily excitable folks ignoring the experts from the very beginning....
