There are many documents, obtained through leaks and FOIA requests, of reports about UFOs to and from military brass and naval and air forces and nuclear installations. This particular document, offered as public evidence by Luis Elizondo, late of AATIP, to Fox’s Tucker Carlson, may be new, but there are many others, such as the Admiral Twining Memo.
Now, what we have to understand is that the military has never (to my knowledge) repudiated these documents. This means, if UFOs are hoaxes or mistakes and illusions, these many documents are fakes. Which means that the U.S. Government would rather have its citizens speculating about nonsense while thinking the Government is engaged in a huge cover-up conspiracy than disabusing the alleged sovereigns of these United States of the public fraud perpetrated at their expense.
What this says about the government is obvious: it is conspiracy and psy-op no matter what, and an unconscionable one either way.
Scoffers and “skeptics” who take comfort in the notion that UFOs amount to a scientific zero somehow also must either ignore or take comfort in the Government’s complicity in a pattern of deluding its citizens.
I find this so irresponsible and anti-republican that the confident superiority of these scoffers and “skeptics” strikes me as almost more chilling yet.
Or else they are just not very bright.
Yet these “very bright people” sure pride themselves on their savvy intelligence!
Pride goeth before a disclosure?

Most of the active doubters are so focussed upon arguing against an extraterrestrial origin for UAP that they lose sight of the sociopolitical implications of how the state has treated the subject. Nor are the doubters the only people who are so distracted by some of the trees as not to see the forest fire.
