Summary: no proof of aliens.

If you read carefully, only “inconclusive” reports have been released. I guess that’s what “Unexplained Areal Phenomena” means.

Aww man, I was hoping they’d release the ones with the conclusive reports of aliens.

I mean, there are three options that I see. We vote them out peacefully, we end up in a long-term horrific dystopian society, or we overthrow them violently. I'm doing everything I can to make sure that the first option becomes reality, but I'm honestly starting to lose hope.

You can also move.

Fuck that. I like it here and want to make it better. Not gonna run away.

That's a good point, they should also release all the reports that have been conclusively shown to have an ordinary explanation.

You mean [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_2021_Kabul_drone_strike) one where the US killed an aid worker and some children in Kabul?

This is pure propaganda. It's been astroturfed on 4chan and mainstream social media for weeks, though to great skepticism on the former. The UFO nut community (people who make their interest/belief in UFOs into their entire personality, to the neglect of all other considerations) is being weaponized for political leverage, just like the anti-vax and chemtrail communities were.

Probably settles some large polymarket bets as well. "Government will announce UFOs are real" has been a popular one for a long time.

Argumentum ad Populum.

No, I was only wondering how many people believe that we were visited by aliens for somewhat reasonable reasons. I would guess quite a few people would say that they believe that at least one of the UFO sightings was an actual UFO but I would also guess that most people are only informed by headlines or History Channel documentaries and only relatively few people have dedicated some non-trivial amount of time to look…

I mean, when I was younger I thought “maybe angels and demons and all that stuff was aliens”, but probably just lots of hallucinating mostly.

This administration is so hilarious. Every day looks like an episode from The Office

Kind of tragic for all the kids who died after US Aid, the Iranian school kids, the detained children of "illegals", the victims of child molestation etc...

The distraction is not releasing them. If there was enough shit in the files for a conviction, the previous administration would have prosecuted. They were sealed from the public not from the DOJ. The reality is that there's no shortage of dirt in them (that likely doesn't pile up to guilt beyond a reasonable doubt), but his base doesn't care, and will never care.

It's possible releasing the files would have negative consequences on both the current and previous administration, which is why neither of them did it.

*sigh* No, it wasn't not renamed, in the same way that a cape-wearing 4-year-old isn't actually changing his legal name to SuperBadguyKillerMan.

I mean, apparently they didn't legally but he did sign an executive order, and they do use war.gov ; so it's a de facto versus de jure situation.

North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, but nobody else calls it that. It also claims to control the entire Korean peninsula.
