The idea is that the government began privatizing the reverse engineering project to better hide the technology, as citizens don't get public access to private company technologies.

Makes it much easier to hide it.

It's alleged that some of this missing military defense money is being used to fund these "black projects".

If it is a UFO it has to be alien. Its science.

Yeah actually I believe it was on the Joe Rogan podcast Joe asked him about Aliens and I believe he said 1. He didn’t care that much about it and that 2. He was told not to worry about it or something along those lines, so he ended up not looking at the evidence. Something alone those lines

The government achieved their goal of debunking UFO evidence to the point of the public now simply automatically disbelieves any UFO evidence decades ago

It's simple: decades ago, the government began their propaganda campaign of debunking any and all UFO evidence, and it worked. The general public now simply goes along with that systemic disbelief out of habit. So, now that the government is essentially admitting that there are things out there in our airspace that they can't explain, things that actually exist, that aren't swamp gas or odd cloud formations or whatever, the public just waves all of it off as crazy talk, because that's what they've been trained to do.


And tbf, it's a pretty scary thing to finally admit to oneself that aliens exist and that they're not only visiting our planet, but that they can do anything the heck they want, and we can't do anything about it. Based on the technology we've witnessed, we can't harm them or even slow them down, so if they wanted to, they could erase every single one of us the way we would exterminate ants in our backyard. It's a frightening thought.

So it's not surprising at al that 99.99%+ of people just won't allow themselves to even consider the idea of UFOs being real. In fact, it's completely normal human behavior.

I still remember the story of the botanist J.Banks, who wrote an account of his travels with Capt. Cook aboard the HMS Endeavor, in which he recounted the fact that when the ship arrived in Botany Bay, AUS and the natives couldn't even see the ship. A 100+ ft long ship with sails/masts dozens of feet tall was so far outside their understanding that they simply didn't see it.


When I finally realized that UFOs were in fact real, and that they couldn't possibly be the product of human technology, I admit I had a few hours of real fear. It was as seminal a moment in my life as any occurrence in my life. Maybe more than any other. And I always hoped that aliens/UFOs were real. I can imagine that for a non-believer, the shattering of life-long beliefs would be much more devastating.

We're simply never going to get full disclosure, just enticing little dribs and drabs of truth... there are levels of top secret above even the president

But I do often fantasize about some future president touching down at Area 51, Dugway or Dulce with a huge contingent of Delta/Seals and demanding to see everything thats going on

I think a lot of people won't care about the alien stuff unless one of them shows up in their front yard. 99% of the folks out there are just trying to get through daily life without thinking too much about this topic.

He let his friend drown because he was an alien.

Silly. Aliens don't exist.
[Reply]

Thats a fact

Most people who haven't had a personal experience, simply have too many other things to worry about to bother trying to wrap their heads around this subject

We need to be the first fan forum to reach out to the aliens!

Can any of these aliens play left tackle?

This is kind of what I'm talking about. The US government has essentially admitted to the general public that they don't know what these UFOs are. But that they do know that they aren't ours. That they do know that they don't belong to any of our adversaries (Russia/ China/NKorea/etc.). But that they do exist. They aren't figments of anyone's imagination. They aren't swamp gas or ball lightning or lenticular clouds. They have radar plus infrared plus electro-optical confirmations of hundreds of UAPs/UFOs whatever you like to call them.

They are real. And they are capable of maneuvers that no human-manufactured vehicle can duplicate. And we don't have a clue where they come from. That is exactly what the government is saying.


But the first reaction from most people is exactly what you posted. "we don't have enough information. They're still hiding too much stuff from us so we can't make a decision about whether these things are real."


They just told us that they're real, gave us evidence gathered by state-of-the-art surveillance/sensor equipment aboard our most advanced military platforms, and they don't know who made them, but they know that they weren't made by human beings.

NUH UH/Fish, probably

I've repeatedly laid out in detail many of my experiences here over the years, so I'm kinda over droning on about it... most people minds are made up about it, so its just a waste of mental energy

But yeah, if most people could have their own experience it'd change the general perception dramatically
