They've always got evidence that they're going to show us... soon.
Not today.
But soon.
They can't say when.
Only that it'll be soon.
Soon.

Unfortunately it's never aliens.
I always assume any UAP are just some military tech or misinterpreted data. Would be nice if it were aliens though lol
"Football field-sized flying saucers hiding in clouds." Yeah, I saw that movie too.
Distraction. I am 99.999999% a believer in extraterrestrial intelligent life. If this shit was real, I think it would be REAL real.
I don't think it's a distraction. I think it's people who are too bought in on conspiracy theories and desperately want there to be some kind of spy thriller conspiracy to uncover. They just really want the world to be less mundane and banal than it is, so they latch onto a single thread while ignoring the overwhelming weight of evidence.
I think calling it a distraction is itself a conspiracy theory. Who is orchestrating this distraction? What are they supposedly distracting from?
We constantly scan the whole orbit around earth, not only agencies, but also nerds. I’m talking about those super nerds who intercept NASA communication and keep it to themselves.
If any alien spacecraft somehow got at cloud level, we would have detected it.
Always remember: only 2 people knew about Kennedy‘s affair and we still knew about it.
This sounds like misinterpretation of data to me.
Edit: will watch sometime this weekend and might change my view.
I think there is no evidence. Witness testimony is not it itself sufficient evidence to convict someone of a crime, why should it be enough to convince you that physics-defying aliens exist in the universe and somehow, for some reason, came all the way across the galaxy/universe/whatever to.. what.. fly around and make pretty patterns in the sky?
Do I believe there is other intelligent life in the universe? Yes, statistics alone suggests there should be.
Do I believe it's making crop circles and buzzing F-18s for giggles? Almost certainly not.
Do I believe some guy saw absolute incontrovertible proof that aliens exist and somehow both failed to acquire any of it to present to the world and failed to be credible enough to be arrested or otherwise silenced by the people who care a whole lot about the leaking of classified info? Absolutely not, not under any circumstances.
If aliens exist and are here and you've seen them then the best advice I can give you is next time grab a fucking button off a control panel, a blood sample, a piece of metal we don't know how to make, like literally anything, because we've been drowning in bullshit witness testimony on this subject for most of a century now. I don't care how credible you are, If 99.99+% of people who talk about aliens are crazy/hoaxers/attention-seekers/etc, the odds are pretty good you're not the <0.01% who is totally legit. So without some actual, physical evidence I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're a crackpot regardless of your credentials.
