Yeah, feeling the same way over the past few years with blurry footage and people saying "WHAT IS THAT?" about something very likely mundane like a balloon or IR flare of another craft.
Also new relevant video, Those damn alien bastards are real (Gianni Matragrano as Duke Nukem)
Sorry but this is kind of a crazy take at this point. We're all going to pretend Harry Reid was just some clown like the modern GOP? We have footage from fighter jets that everyone, including the US govt, acknowledge cannot be explained. Not just unidentifiable, unexplainable. And these sightings were confirmed by multiple different state-of-the-art detection systems, so it wasn't a hardware or software glitch. While it may look blurry to you, the people trained on these systems know what they're looking at, which is a large object accelerating in impossible ways. And afaik that aspect of it isn't even disputed by anyone in the military or academia.
The mistake people make is jumping automatically to aliens, or lumping all UFO talk in with the Matt Gaetz theatrical type shit. But suggesting "it's probably just a balloon" shows you haven't actually examined the evidence or heard from the pilots (who are serious, intelligent people). Whatever the explanation, it has zero chance of being mundane.
Every possible explanation -- including foreign tech, natural phenomena, and yes aliens -- is interesting and consequential as fuck. And we should be able to pay attention to multiple things at once.
