Comment on If tomorrow it was announced that aliens were real, highly intelligent, and in communication with our governments, no one would be talking about it by Halloween

  No, the US government didn’t. There were some guys who allegedly heard some other guys talk about a crash that allegedly was a UFO. They all happened to work for the American government.

  There were also a group of guys that wasted US government resources on just plain bullshit for literal decades.

    Didn’t one of the military branches release the Tictac video or something and admit they didn’t know what the fuck it was? It’s not an admission of aliens, but it kinda is an admission that UFOs exist.

      Unidentified Flying Objects have always existed. In the US, around 99% of submitted cases were identified eventually or revealed to be bogus. The remaining 1% exist, but the track record of identified stuff doesn’t give the alien explanation a high likelihood.
