    Holy shit, I remember this video when it was posted on Reddit! It was in the UFO sub and everyone in there was actually buying it (at least when I saw it which was when it was gaining traction). I saw it from all and I remember thinking how ridiculous it looked and didn’t show much of anything.

        The navy pill and orb videos are pretty convincing. Like the one in Afghanistan shown in the recent nasa briefing https://youtu.be/cErlUQgTejYand the one crashing into the waves. They’re not graphical glitches as the targeting systems locked on and got thermal signatures. Plus look into the UAP Disclosure Act passed unanimously by the senate intelligence committee a few days ago

            So am I, but I wonder how ready we are. I think this kind of thing should only be done when we understand what threat uaps actually present, else unchecked fear. So maybe it would have been better for us to do this later

              Well also there’s a distinct possibility that most of these “off the books” programs are just basically embezzling money from the US government.

              It blows my mind that the three most likely outcomes are both “conspiracy theory” level crazy. Either we have crash wreckage (bonkers), have people embezzling through secret programs (somehow even more bonkers), or huge swathes of the DoD/intelligence community are completely batshit (also bonkers).

              No matter how things go, I will be glued to those hearings.

      I’m shocked I didn’t see this one because I’ve been lurking the UFO sub since the Grusch announcements.

        Honestly the amount of times that sub assumed they had a “smoking gun” kept me coming back because it was like reality TV. I’m assuming that the sub that thought the government was covering up aliens back in the 50s doesn’t realize that they’re probably using aliens being “here” as a way to cover up new action.

          That’s actually a common point of discussion! I’d wager about 30% of the sub is super deep-end conspiracists.

          A fun drinking game is to scroll the sub and take a drink any time someone mentions “controlled opposition” or “planned disclosure” lol
