UFOs or not – something is up
Quite a good estimate of the situation. I particularly like the last paragraph:<p>&gt; To my mind, there are five main possible explanations, in descending order of probability.<p>&gt; 1. The US establishment – Pentagon to press – is engaged in a complex cross-party conspiracy of psyops to unnerve and mystify America’s adversaries, especially the Chinese. Perhaps they want to convince them America possesses advanced alien technology, and America has been reverse engineering it for decades.<p>&gt; 2. The US establishment has some incredible new military tech – something truly astonishing, like anti-gravity aircraft – and they’ve had it for ages, and they want to hide it from everyone: Americans as much as the Chinese.<p>&gt; 3. The US establishment has gone collectively mad, or is suffering some mass hallucination, stemming from a few credulous individuals (a process known in psychology as ‘contagion’).<p>&gt; 4. The US military&#x2F;elite sincerely believes we are being visited by non human intelligence – but they’re wrong.<p>&gt; 5. The US military&#x2F;elite sincerely believes we are being visited by non human intelligence – and they are right.<p>&gt; Which is it? As I see it, they all come with major problems and caveats. Just think about any of them and you’ll understand why. Nonetheless, this entire peculiar phenomenon needs unravelling. And if the final answer turns out to be option five – and however distressingly outlandish, it cannot be entirely dismissed – well then we might need to do some praying, as well.
