The Pentagon has recently been releasing videos of UFOs and claiming that they are genuinely unexplained, and the mainstream media has become more open to talking about them. What do you think is going on? As far as I can figure, there are four possible explanations:

  • UFOs have always been fake and the government is just now getting in on faking these videos, perhaps to justify more military spending.
  • UFOs are some type of as-of-yet unexplained atmospheric phenomenon, like ball lightning.
  • Some military or company has developed new scientific theories and technology, in complete secrecy, capable of the kind of behavior seen in the videos.
  • Aliens are involved in some way.

    Pretty sure it's an OP. Gives the government an air of transparency, its a distraction, justifies space force.

    Frankly, I think they have been building this up for a long time for a point when their credibility was low and they figured they really needed a distraction and probably underestimated the level of distrust people have and thought there would be a bigger response.
