The whole point of an UFO is that it is unidentified. I don’t get how people instantly think that the aircraft is alien…
Bingo. The people who are involved with this in Congress specifically have stated that they think the government is not in full control of US airspace. The investigation is to find out if that is true.
Because the dude said the ships were piloted by non-humans, and that the pentagon took the non-human biological remains to experiment on. Like he didn’t outright say the word “aliens” but he 100% meant aliens.
What if they were super smart, pilot trained monkeys?
Its Raccoons, 100% raccoons
ffs obviously it’s star fox, not

Usually it’s just a spy plane. Sometimes from the same country. Or a weather balloon, falling satellite, or just instrument errors. It’s never been aliens. And if aliens can get all the way here, they aren’t doing some shifty shit like being detected by friggin RADAR! Can you imagine how embarrassing that’d be?
“Hey Quizlock, we heard you did some recon of Earth and the humans caught you on their radio frequency detection and ranging devices! How’d you manage that? Blast visual data at them and not absorb anomalous spectra? What an amateur! Now get back to reconfiguring the new quasar drives!”
Are you a VXJunkie?

The dude under oath talked about non-human remains. In this case I think that’s why. (Not that I think it’s true or anything, I’ll need more than hearsay in order to believe).
The congress person asking why the whistleblowers didnt use the term extraterrestrial was so cringe. This was after the part where they explained they keep an open mind for other theories like interdimensional phenomenon. Really shows how uneducated some people that hold higher degrees really are.

They tried with renaming it UAP, but the believers just adopted that.
If I throw a paper airplane and you don’t know it’s a paper airplane
By definition it is a ufo
I only care about aliens if they’re going to use their tech to fix our climate. Otherwise they can fuck off.
I mean, any contact will shift the me vs them mentality, hopefully, from country vs country to world vs world.
True. I wasn’t debating that, just saying if they’re going to sit back and watch us boil alive, they’re useless and not worth considering. We’ve got existential problems.
e: I see what you’re saying – maybe if we learnt we’re not the centre of the universe we’d come together. I guess I’m a cynic and I don’t think that would happen. We’d more likely enter new holy wars, with the major religions disrupting society again. Meanwhile, we’d still boil alive.
Probably lol
I hope they are reading this …

Or maybe they’re embezzling funds or burning government budget on random bullshit. Occam’s Razor makes these seem much more likely than some elaborate conspiracy lol.
A Stargate seems like the obvious answer and I’m all for it.
NASA statement this week opened my mind up to non-human intelligence on Earth. I started looking into when dinosaurs were really taken seriously, and it wasn’t until 1800. Think about how many humans ignored that evidence. Maybe some intelligence evolved on Earth and had brains that found natural physics and chemistry more teachable than our learning in school classrooms, found ways to open dimensions and just left Earth for some place better, but still comes back to check us lower species, ha.
Climate, real estate, price gouging, enshittification, health care, voter suppression… There’s an awful lot to distract us from.
I like the interpretation that the UFO news is the equivalent of casual Friday for Congress. Everyone gets to wear silly hats and play pretend for a few hours, it breaks up the boring monotony of giving endless checks to the Pentagon.
Except obviously the pentagon needs some cash to deal with the aliens.
I prefer to maintain an open mind. So while i dont trust government not to use “aliens!” as propaganda. I do actively listen when officials are speaking under oath.
The way I understood what they said. if the military is unable to cooperate and providing more information Then they will move to try strip the military of funds going to those unaccounted projects. (Congress did mention about 60% of military budget going unaccounted)
After all the legal risks for the whistleblowers are huge and if they don’t uphold those when they cant maintain the lie then there basically saying making insane claims under oath is ok.
Space Force, baby! The newest and most well respected branch of the military!
Well sure, but the Pentagon can get as much money as it wants whenever it wants. There’s no need to make up shit about aliums.
This is just for fun.
it breaks up the boring monotony of giving endless checks to the Pentagon.
Does it? Or is it just the foreplay for more endless checks for the pentagon to weaponize space
Please, as if the Pentagon couldn’t get endless checks to weaponize space without making up shit about ayylmaos
They can ask for any amount of money for any reason and they’d get it, it’s just “because Chyna!” gets boring after the hundredth funding discussion. It still works, but that’s not fun anymore. This UFO shit is just to spice things up.
omd! this so sums up whats been in the back of my head. the old “you know theres a war on”, but more “you know the worlds on fire”
Its worthwhile reading Caitlin on the matter (as it is for every matter)
She correlates the partly obvious bait with the desire to weaponize space
Yeah, feeling the same way over the past few years with blurry footage and people saying “WHAT IS THAT?” about something very likely mundane like a balloon or IR flare of another craft.
Also new relevant video, Those damn alien bastards are real (Gianni Matragrano as Duke Nukem)
Two things can be true.
It’s pretty obvious that all the ayyylmao talk is a distraction from a multitude of issues going on rn.
Maybe the aliens are actually prepping the world for them and want it warmer.

This kind of meme is disheartening seeing on Lemmy, that’s supposed to be full of open minded people. And I write that as someone who saw a real UFO in 1990 in Greece, together with others. The tech in 1990 was not there for the US to create a silent, gravity-defying, appearing and disappearing in-front-of-our-eyes vehicle. So this meme, AND the comments from the other lemmy posts in the last 2 days about the recent ufo events are rather insulting to me. The phenomenon is real.
Edit: Also, I don’t understand the downvotes! You downvote anything you find going against your grain? My experience is my experience and it’s equally as valid!
I think you’re taking it too personal.
If it makes you feel better, for me its not about the phenomenon at all.
Its about the source not having any credibility when topics touching militarism and war are concerned.
And since an interest exists to weaponize space and this narrative fits the bill it might be true or not, but a comitte hearing, the pentagon or the intelligence community are as helpful in finding the truth as blindly guessing.
The phenomenon is here since the late '40s. So militarizing space now might be about the phenomenon (or at least, in part). My problem is that many people think that this whole thing is a distraction. It’s not. It seems that several Congress members, from both parties, are interested in unveiling where trillions of dollars went by the military, that can’t account for most of it. And by digging, they found the ufo program, and they’re trying to get to the bottom of it. Instead, people see it the other way around: a monolithic evil government trying to distract us or scare us so they get more money. This is just laughable from where I sit, having experienced what I experienced, and having closely looking at what’s going on with the congress.
militarizing space now might be about the phenomenon
Just to be clear I did NOT have a shortage of explanations for the interest to militarize space. That was already a given, much more so than any phenomena
seems that several Congress members, from both parties, are interested in unveiling where trillions of dollars went by the military
In the Oversight committee on national security? No way.
Its crazy how different interpretations can be. I was constantly roling my eyes listening to that hearing

Wow the US is really paying people to shitpost on Lemmy as part of their coverup. Someone must be really worried about the AOC and Matt Gaetz dream team coming for their ass.
I have no idea how to interpret your comment
OP is a Pentagon shill.
