    Not gonna be the ‘UFOs are real’ voice

    UFOs are obviously real, as not every flying object can be successfully identified.

    But the mythology of unidentified objects regularly outstrip their reality. So often, we hear about "impossible" maneuvers and extraordinary circumstances all clouded in the unknown. We never get a payoff of the thing actually getting identified as a known quantity.

    Demons are a great parallel to the US treatment of UFOs, as they are also Strange, Malignant, and an Ill-Omen used to scare people into compliance with authority.

    They are just as real, in so far as strange, malignant forces do exist that can justify the upholding of status quo. But they are also fake, in so far as there are no monsters that crawled up from hell to eat you.
