I really wanna believe the UFO shit but it just never goes anywhere and the most obvious takeaway is that it’s all nonsense. Like I just can’t believe that there isn’t some state out there that would have knowledge of the aliens and not be forthright about it. Especially after all these years. But also I want it to be true bc then it would cause such apoplexy amongst the evangelicals and that alone would be really fun/worth it
All the UFOs are Lockheed Martin/Northrop Grumman/Boeing prototypes, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works was posting on twitter about a video that showed a flying triangle/Dorito shaped aircraft at area 51, who knows what kind of stuff is actually out there cooked up by some crazy aerospace engineers.
AFAIK the stealth bomber was developed and tested at Area 51. People want to believe it's aliens, but it's likely the US testing stuff like spy balloons, experimental aircraft, drones, etc. And of course, they're not going to acknowledge something if it gets spotted by some civilian at 3 AM. They didn't even acknowledge the existence of Area 51 until a few years ago.
