Not at all confused, just think it took a nose dive for the last 4. Hopefully the next four will see a turn for the better.We wasted our military for the past 2 decades and you're confused why it would be in shambles? The shitshow is from those who believe it should be lent out to the highest bidder and not for the defense of our nation
Good posts in this thread. Thanks. I don't block imbeciles because I don't want to risk missing gems like your replies.
Jet propulsion has been commercially available around 70 odd years now. Shouldn't we have already had an advancement? Considering our DOD budgets and the Pentagon's yearly audit failures, I find it more plausible the government has sat on 2nd or 3rd generation advanced technology we've developed, than having allowed alien technology to trickle out.
Our MIC could know exactly what is going on with what we perceive as unexplained phenomena. They could very well just regard our civilian confusion as inconsequential in lieu of outside actors tipping their hands.
While I've posited just such a tactic myself I've also struggled with the idea. It's just somehow hard to imagine the government would actually just outright take the tactic "Well...let's just go with aliens.".That is precisely what the UFO phenomenon is. Aliens just happen to be an amazing cover story for US black projects.
The general public becoming aware of "tic-tac" flying machines is the equivalent of an average person in 1950's catching a glimpse of a prototype A-12 (which became the Blackbird) or an average person in the 1970's catching a glimpse of a B-2 prototype. Borrowing from Arthur C. Clarke, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". That is as true for us in 2024 as it was for people back in the 50's and 70's. Aliens are just our "magical" explanation.

Maybe it's just growing up with X Files and having the government hell bent on denying they exist but it feels like just stating the unexplained is probably beings from a civilization far more advanced than ours visiting our planet would bring it's own set of problems.
Except when they are the explanation.That is precisely what the UFO phenomenon is. Aliens just happen to be an amazing cover story for US black projects.
