Why is the go-to explanation for UFOs something of alien origin?
Quote:
It seems sightings have picked up in the last two decades. Not surprising with more people, more technology to record these phenomenon, and a huge increase in planes in the air, there are just more opportunities for humans to cross paths with these UFOs.
Also not surprising given greater opportunities for the more easily explainable human behavior in creating a hoax or fabricating an event to procure social recognition, financial gain, bolster self-importance (i.e., I've witnessed something no one else has), or the simple satisfaction and humor in duping people.
“We don't have a government of the people, by the people, for the people. We have government of the people, by the bureaucrats, for the bureaucrats.”
