I like the interpretation that the UFO news is the equivalent of casual Friday for Congress. Everyone gets to wear silly hats and play pretend for a few hours, it breaks up the boring monotony of giving endless checks to the Pentagon.
Except obviously the pentagon needs some cash to deal with the aliens.
Well sure, but the Pentagon can get as much money as it wants whenever it wants. There’s no need to make up shit about aliums.
This is just for fun.
Space Force, baby! The newest and most well respected branch of the military!
it breaks up the boring monotony of giving endless checks to the Pentagon.
Does it? Or is it just the foreplay for more endless checks for the pentagon to weaponize space
Please, as if the Pentagon couldn’t get endless checks to weaponize space without making up shit about ayylmaos
They can ask for any amount of money for any reason and they’d get it, it’s just “because Chyna!” gets boring after the hundredth funding discussion. It still works, but that’s not fun anymore. This UFO shit is just to spice things up.
This kind of meme is disheartening seeing on Lemmy, that’s supposed to be full of open minded people. And I write that as someone who saw a real UFO in 1990 in Greece, together with others. The tech in 1990 was not there for the US to create a silent, gravity-defying, appearing and disappearing in-front-of-our-eyes vehicle. So this meme, AND the comments from the other lemmy posts in the last 2 days about the recent ufo events are rather insulting to me. The phenomenon is real.
Edit: Also, I don’t understand the downvotes! You downvote anything you find going against your grain? My experience is my experience and it’s equally as valid!
I think you’re taking it too personal.
If it makes you feel better, for me its not about the phenomenon at all.
Its about the source not having any credibility when topics touching militarism and war are concerned.
And since an interest exists to weaponize space and this narrative fits the bill it might be true or not, but a comitte hearing, the pentagon or the intelligence community are as helpful in finding the truth as blindly guessing.
The phenomenon is here since the late '40s. So militarizing space now might be about the phenomenon (or at least, in part). My problem is that many people think that this whole thing is a distraction. It’s not. It seems that several Congress members, from both parties, are interested in unveiling where trillions of dollars went by the military, that can’t account for most of it. And by digging, they found the ufo program, and they’re trying to get to the bottom of it. Instead, people see it the other way around: a monolithic evil government trying to distract us or scare us so they get more money. This is just laughable from where I sit, having experienced what I experienced, and having closely looking at what’s going on with the congress.
militarizing space now might be about the phenomenon
Just to be clear I did NOT have a shortage of explanations for the interest to militarize space. That was already a given, much more so than any phenomena

In the Oversight committee on national security? No way.
Its crazy how different interpretations can be. I was constantly roling my eyes listening to that hearing

Its worthwhile reading Caitlin on the matter (as it is for every matter)
She correlates the partly obvious bait with the desire to weaponize space
The whole point of an UFO is that it is unidentified. I don’t get how people instantly think that the aircraft is alien…
Because the dude said the ships were piloted by non-humans, and that the pentagon took the non-human biological remains to experiment on. Like he didn’t outright say the word “aliens” but he 100% meant aliens.
The thing I think a lot of people miss is that, if I’m not mistaken, due to his position he has to report on what he was told. It doesn’t matter if it sounds insane or he doesn’t have proof; his job is to tell Congress what he was told during his investigations. If he was told that it’s aliens, then that’s what he has to tell Congress.
I want to believe it’s aliens. I think that’d be pretty cool. However, my speculation is that he was given false information by the military to try to make him sound nuts and get Congress off their backs. Either that or he wasn’t given the full picture. Just because something is non-human doesn’t mean it’s alien in origin. It could be unmanned drones that had mice, monkeys or dogs in them to test g-forces (not sure why you couldn’t use a dummy in this day and age, but that’s beside the point). It could be the result of some kind of experiment to use biological matter instead of silicon and wiring. It could be aliens. There still isn’t enough information for a definitive conclusion except that the US has had unidentified objects flying through controlled aerospace unimpeded.
What if they were super smart, pilot trained monkeys?
Its Raccoons, 100% raccoons
USA makes this alien BS up to make the rest of the world feel that USA is the only worthwhile Supreme Reich™ on earth that aliens will give a fuck about, and rest of the world is filled with worthless untermenschen. People that give a shit about USA kiddies spotting aliens on their rooftops and these MKULTRA’d walking experiments claiming they have alien dead bodies in Area 51 are NPCs and this stuff is a fat load of bullshit meant to distract people from their societal and economical issues.
