Another declassified study shows the Air Force misled the public in the 1950s about UFOs to conceal the CIA's spy plane testing.

Weird. I've been seeing a ton of "alien" news this week. Wonder what's actually happening

What could happening right now that they would want to cover up so ferociously? And north american MSM is barely covering the UFO thing for what it is.

That's what I'm saying! I think we're gonna find out here pretty soon.

Nothing? Like I could understand this working back then.... But now?

... But now?

Are you saying that Americans have become too smart to not be distracted with stories like this?

No, I am saying that there plenty of sources of news and we are not getting the news from a single sources even if ones focus on this, others don't. In the past there wasn't much else to check, so big news would take most of a paper or slot of time on the tv news.

But now with internet the pages or slot times are not limited, and there is plenty of other sources or sources from other countries that in the past were not available, so other important stuff isn't hidden because this.

I think you are giving both the average American and the American media landscape too much credit.

News sources may be more dispersed nowadays but the bourgeoisie still overwhelmingly controls distribution.

Much of the rest of the world, for example, disagrees with the NATO narrative about Ukraine. Yet you will be hard pressed (no pun intended) to find a westerner who thinks the situation is more nuanced than 'Russia land grab'. Why aren't Anglo-Europeans exposed to those counter narratives?

We can only speculate as our governments act secretly on people's back. It's probably part of the spreading up conspiracies campaign we have seen over the past years aimed at making everyone who disagree with authorities looks like a fool. The ufo stuff may be a psyop to redirect attention from war planes/drones/satellites weapons and everything related to it for example lunch sites or retrieval of broken equipment that falls around
