Frankly, i would not be shocked so much by alien existence as i would be by anyone actually telling the truth about it.
Same here.
Extreme Cliff's:
-Former US Senator Harry Reid helped fund an office/task force to look at records of unexplained sightings
-One of Harry Reid's political donors was a Nevada developer named Robert Bigelow
-Bigelow also, quite coincidentally, suddenly became an aerospace contractor and received a federal contract for aerospace
-Bigelow, for 30 or so years, has been the biggest funder of UFO and paranormal research institutes
-Bigelow is the recent past owner of "Skinwalker Ranch," of History Channel fame.
-Many of the new "experts" on UAP's have ties to Bigelow's money and a couple of reality TV production companies
-So far, everything to come out of Congress sounds very much like what they did in the 1970's, promising to investigate further and take it seriously this time
-Low-level staffers with ties to Bigelow and "Reality TV" are the "highly placed government officials" that the True Believers keep citing
My theory is that, as has been documented in the past, the military periodically gins up UFO talk when some really cool new stealth technology is being tested.
I've been somewhat fascinated by this stuff since the 90s listening to Art Bell, and would love some big revelation. But it's pretty much been the same cast of characters selling this stuff since the 90s, with some new faces occasionally getting in on the business.
