Figured this deserves it's own thread. What're your thoughts on this?
So, I know everyone's afraid of looking like a crazy person, but I can’t believe the new UFO report from the Pentagon isn't a bigger deal.

Our govt says there are crafts that "outstrip our arsenal by at least 100 years to 1,000 years at the moment” and we're like "meh..."
I remember someone on twitter last year saying that once covid is over they'd be moving on the aliens as the next big thing we need protection from. Seems like pretext for firing up the money printers to me.

What next, zombies? Sounds like some bullshit AOC would concoct.

What do you think the vaccine was for?
Aliens gave us Covid!
So these things are visible on radar, infra-red and even the naked eye. Yet in 50+ years of searching we've not detected any signals of life from outerspace?
I'm with most people in that there probably is other life in the universe, probably even intelligent life. But the odds they have technology to visit us, much less have actually been here, are virtually nil.
Thus, despite the click bait of "100 to 1000 years ahead of our tech", smart money is this is, in fact, US technology.

Didn't they pretend to "defund" NASA like 10 years ago? I think that was mainly just an excuse to spend more money for Elon Musk to blow up rockets.
Thinking this will be a good excuse to spend a few hundred billion per year on a black space budget, which will just be a cover for a hundred billion on BS climate change stuff with a sliver of that greasing politicians palms, of course.
Just a distraction. Covid is coming to an end. They need something else to keep the fear going.
Bill Gates will do anything to keep his messy divorce off the front page. He already chipped us. What more does he want?

Sooooo......you're tight with Jeffrey Epstein, but settle for getting rejected by Microsoft employees for dates? That's like masturbating to the blue screen of death.

It's not like they're going to wheel out the corpse of a Roswell alien. The better question is what is this report trying to cover up, or distract us from?

Read the news. Border crisis, inflation, weak dollar, gas shortages, Middle East unrest.

That's not really anything new. And this UFO stuff started leaking a few years ago.
Although if they DO wheel out the corpse of a Roswell alien, complete with face mask to protect everyone from Covid....that'd get a chuckle.

Stimmy checks are all that matter.
It’s hard for me to be overly interested in something 100% subjective. I believe the air force pilots stories more than I’d believe anyone else, but it’s still meh. I have no reason to believe I’ll ever witness any of this stuff myself.
It’s like when NASA announces they discovered a new planet light years away. Cool, hope my great great great grandkids can visit it someday.

Yeah, if aliens want me to be interested in them, they can beam down into my living room and hook me up with their sweet-ass interplanetary drugs so I can literally get an out-of-this-world buzz. Or a death ray gun. That'd be fun, too.
posted by HereticI hope the aliens are all just like Donald Trump. Everyone just assumes the aliens are here either to enlighten us, or conquer us - but what if they're just a bunch of asshole frat boys that stole dad's spaceship?Or a death ray gun. That'd be fun, too.

The problem is - based upon most of the people who have been abducted - is the aliens all seem to go immediately for the anal probe. You don't want that happening in your living room or anywhere else.

I guess I'm going for less "anal-probe-crazy-gray-men" and more "three-titty hookers from Total Recall" when I think of alien encounters I'm interested in having.

Careful, Heretic.

That's just what THEY want you to think. Those science eggheads are hoarding all the fuckable aliens for themselves because that's the only way those nerds are ever gonna get some.
Well this thread took a hard left on Weird St.
