I'm sorry, but I have been very frustrated by this community's response to the efforts of the federal government to bring evidence public, and the explicit attempts to discredit or diminish it. I'm shocked that we just got videos from the Pentagon showing instantaneous acceleration, trans-medium travel, and sharp instantaneous turns without any visible propulsion, wings, rotors, or exhaust and the two most upvoted posts from the last week relate to a floating, rotating inflatable spaceman balloon. Have we completely lost our minds? We're at the tip of the iceberg on previously classified evidence, and we already have videos of the observables that made the 2004 Nmitz tic tac encounter such an intriguing and fantastical witness story. I get the lack of trust in the government. I do. But this is not something the federal branch has been working to keep from you for 80 years. If there were many people in the know for all that time, surely it would have leaked previously. The government sucks at hiding secrets. But this really only started picking up steam a few years ago when people like Lue Elizondo, David Grusch, and Christopher Mellon started speaking up despite the personal damage it could cause to their reputations and career opportunities. Their claims are of a small secretive program that is highly compartmentalized and disjointed (meaning people only have knowledge of their specific tasks). Anyone who dared speak up previously (such as Bob Lazar) was easily taken care of by stigma, smear campaigns, and intimidation. This is much more consistent with the pattern of evidence vanishing, people staying quiet, and files sealed ad infinitum over the entire government staging a coverup over 80 years that would have certainly leaked. A classic story of a few really powerful people clinging to power and operating without oversight. I mean if Trump was in the know he certainly already would've ran his mouth about it because that's what he does. That is to say, you cannot discredit people like the whistleblowers or congress members who are pushing for disclosure by grouping them in with the same category as those staging the coverups and delegating highly secretive programs that are operating unconstitutionally. The difference is that they are putting their careers on the line to get us this information, while those within this legacy program are holding onto the strongest evidence for dear life. That is to say, you need to be more analytical about what is going on. UFOs are going from a highly stigmatized tinfoil hat phenomenon to one with scientific curiosity, large disclosure efforts, and media attention. This subreddit keeps focusing on the bullshit over the videos that actually show anomalous movement despite those videos confirming some of the details given by whistleblowers. You cannot be dismissive of videos just because they are not 4k. And you also cannot be dismissive just because the first 2 batches of files do not contain definitive proof of alien life. You're already living through an extraordinary time. Focus on real, verifiable evidence over someone recording a spotlight shining through the clouds. And also open your mind to the fact that these few dozen whistleblowers and handful of congresspeople actually do want you to have the truth that was even hidden from them until they got looped in. There is a real bipartisan effort under way and real videos of actual UFOs being released. Just be open to seeing where it goes and take it one release at a time before dismissing it. submitted by /u/Glittering-Neck-2505 [link] [comments]
