Government officials are publicly admitting they “knew about aliens but lied”? Techbros are jacking themselves to death about how aliens superior intelligence has let them trap us somehow? Apparently the government has new terminology for these space aliens that are supposed to exist? How much of this is real? Or is it mainly just bullshit?

    i dunno dawg, people like Grusch are talking about ‘extradimensional’ beings now, it’s getting very silly

    anytime I hear an interview with one of these modern ufology guys1 (who are always alarmingly close to the US military or intelligence and for some reason brag about it?) it’s all bluster and technobabble with plenty of appeals to authority like: “this one guy is a scientist, so when he says UFO’s are real, they must be!” or “this active psyops officer told me that the US definitely has super secret alien tech”

    some of the declassified videos are a bit funky, but honestly I think it’s more likely that a blob moving at physics-defying speeds is actually just a camera artefact, an illusion or an insect, than actually breaking the laws of physics.

    1 Luis Elizondo is formerly Army Intelligence, David Grusch is USAF intelligence, Tom DeLonge is running an org called To The Stars Academy which receives funding from and works with the US military and was literally founded by Jim Semivan, ex CIA, Avi Loeb got his start in science through the IDF Talpiot program (but at least he’s doing some real science sometimes), etc etc
