Just because you found a branch of wood in front of you doesn't imply that you must be living in the forest.

Just because we found metallic balls doesn't mean it must be alien. It's far more likely an SCO state that's spying on the US.

Additionally, the last fictious alien event series around Roswell turned out to be the A12 prototype (aka SR-71 Blackbird) that was being tested for its radar stealth capabilities.

Yet none of those tinfoil hats ever realized that...so...here we are, with "aliens" supposedly using a crappy technology like a balloon instead of warp-drive capable space ships. Because you know, space can be travelled in a balloon and there must be oxygen of identical density on every single habitable planet /s



The only tinfoil hats are you guys, these days. Tin foil on your head keeps the new info from getting in. So you can protect the existing "everything is bland and normal" cognitive bias. (I'm not attacking, it's not you-personal---it's a whole phenomena of people who wanna believe the boring shit, and never anything else).

Me looking at your first 3 lines:

...Uhuh...

...Good...

...WTF!?! Roswell was A12?!

Come on man, you can't believe that hype. Even the "tinfoil hat space weather balloon" bs cover story, has a guy holding a telegraph memo. You can zoom in on that memo and clearly make out a communique that details the coverup.

Also, read Corso's Day After Roswell (available in 1 click probably). It details an extensive chronology for the events of the crash, initial unsanctioned info release, and subsequent coverup and reverse engineering efforts.

It's just nuts to wave it away with a magical swoosh of your hands and say, "It was A12, nuff said." Some disinfo agent probably fed that story to the press, just like with the balloon. Please, please, please read more before you speak more about this. Actually read it for yourself, not just the "internet crib" notes and then make up your mind to confirm your existing bias because some 12-year-old commenter said "Contains many logical fallacies" on Goodreads or whatever. I don't know if there's a goodreads, don't go lookin' for it--just read more please!!! :P :) xx ;p

I'm not even saying these latest things are legit (probably just disinfo distraction)--but there's so many others--so, you know, look into it!
