People are dismissing the idea, but sightings by members of our own military suggest objects with movements that can't be obtained by known technology. That's on top of decades of public sightings that support the idea of something more out there. People hear mention of aliens and would rather dismiss the conversation as science fiction than explore idea of it. Even if it isn't alien or non-human, there are sightings that warrant investigation and answers to the public.
This is an issue that deserves debate and not ridicule. It should be perfectly fine for people to present ideas like extraterrestrial/non-human life when examining an unknown phenomenon. Documented sightings and science will get to the root of what they are, but in the meantime speculation is what helps fuel the curiosity to learn more.
This shit is so common that if you spoke to members of the Navy who have travelled the oceans and bring up USOs and lights in the sky, they'll shrug and be like "yeah happens all the time out there"
It's also worth noting how much money goes to the MIC that's unaccounted.... Literally trillions of dollars. The Pentagon continually fails audit after audit.It's criminal how much secrecy they get away with. They should be accountable to the people.
And sailors of old were convinced they saw mermaids too. This is just as dumb.
I agree with the analogy, but not in your conclusion. Those were often animals that were misidentified. Even in your analogy you cite something observed that deserves research. Should we have ignored tales of mermaids and folk creatures that lead to the identification and study of new animals? I think it's absurd to say that you should ignore something because you view it as a tall tale. I'm simply saying to let people speculate and let science determine what truth is.
