I’m about a year in, so I’m new enough to the topic where it actually feels like disclosure is moving along at a brisk pace. So thankfully I’ve avoided becoming bitter and cynical (like so many voices on this subreddit). I feel for you guys though. That’s a long time to wait. But I honestly feel like we took a major step today. And on a personal note, in the beginning I tried to passionately make the case for alien life with a few friends and lines were drawn. Now I can refer to a government website for UAP photos and videos. It sounds petty but I’m enjoying any semblance of validation today is bringing. Their position of “You’re just a conspiracy nut, there’s nothing to see here” took a hit today. Of course, it does suck that it’s happening under this particular administration (due to issues related to credibility). And don’t get me wrong. I’m now one of those “both sides suck” people. While one side of the aisle brings more blatant corruption, both sides are in on it. So I’m all for a totally new way of governing ourselves. But giving credit where credit is due, I highly doubt a blue administration would do what the current administration did today. And finally, today does give credence to the fact that the US government has been misleading the public on this topic for decades. Can you imagine if they were this forthcoming since the Roswell days? Since they are finally opening up about this topic, we can legitimately ask the reasonable question, “Why now? And why not before?” I’m curious to see them try to answer while avoiding things like psyops, cover ups, and secret military bases, which then leads to other questions like “Well, how did you *fund* such military bases? What *else* is hidden in these military bases? Who’s been *working* at these hidden military bases?” Etc, etc, etc. My hope is that today is indeed the first concrete step towards some semblance of disclosure. Will they give us the full story? Of course not. But perhaps just maybe us UFO/alien folks won’t be so socially stigmatized anymore. Edit: I don’t usually crosspost but this got removed from another sub and reddit suggested this would be a better fit. submitted by /u/tendervittles [link] [comments]
