This is my biggest problem with believing anything alien related; how come all of the video evidence is taken on a phone camera from 2001, and the fact basically all sightings happen in the US?
The people making this shit up have to try harder than that!
I think its a mix of idiots everywhere, and the government secretly testing prototype aircraft. The idiots see the prototype aircraft, don't recognize it, and immediately go "eyljuhns!"
This looks more like a map of any English speaking news source I would see online.
I mean I see us politics and us topics on lemmy and my local newspaper all the time, but hardly ever hear anything from far away places like Ghana, Romania, south America, middle east or south east asia unless in specifically look for it on some lesser known sites.
That is because people are morons and don't know how cameras work. Even the military thinks things like low flying geese are some how aliens, when clearly their evidence is to the contrary. I am not saying that there aren't aliens. They probably do exist, but the evidence we keep getting shown for it is laughable.
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
That all these sightings just happen to occur in the US reminds me of how I'd watch old Dr Who episodes and chuckle at how all the aliens always ended up in the same sand pit in England.
Our senses and brains are remarkably easy to fool. Stage magicians even make a career out of making us think we've seen things we haven't.
How many times have you seen a shadow, or a silhouette and thought it was a person/monster/whatever? Our brains are wired to see familiar things in unfamiliar circumstances, and it bases it on things we're familiar with. UFO sightings follow predictable patterns based on what style or shape of "alien ship" are biggest in pop culture at the time. We conjure up monsters we saw in movies, or read about in books or magazines.
It's almost as if UFOs correspond to experimental high altitude projects and the bodies of quick dried astronauts from the early days that now passes up as current day pilots having some fun and trying to track low flying duck on their fast flying jets and submitting it as a UFO and trolls trying to prove how stupid the rest of society is by creating absurd claims and seeing if they fly. (Hint: It's pretty stupid, but you'll also get dragged down to wherever you make society go and climbing back up from there is much, much harder.)
A more accurate title for this post could be: "English-Based UFO Reporting Organizations Primarily Receive Reports from, Unsurprisingly, English-Speaking Countries."
cause : effect; believing in things that don't exist, seeing things that don't exist.

"Aliens from outer space" sighted frequently over areas of the world where fictional media depicting aliens from outer space is widespread. Hmm. Shocker.
It was between 2010-2014 and i was recently gifted my first phone. A used Sony Ericsson w300i. Fast forward a few weeks later, i was on the roof playing with the filters on the phone camera. One of them was a Sepia filter and as i tried it, i randomly pointed it toward the sky and then toward the sun. That's when i saw a small dark object hovering near the very bright sun as to hide using it. It was shaped like a sphere and seemed very far up in the sky. It was very fast, it's movement unnatural as it was doing oval shaped circles around the sun.
Its probably not entirely fair distribution you’re seeing.
This starts way back in 1906? A country like China didn’t even have any tech growth till around the year 2000 basically.
They don’t even have an open policy of sharing such things.
Russia did for the longest time, but it’s limited due to the population distribution (basically 80% lives near the western border) so an enormous amount of ground is never watched let alone “stuff” being reported.. let alone that “stuff” getting out to media or the public.
The EU has always had a more open policy regarding UFO’s, especially Belgium shared a lot of footage over the years.
But also much of South America openly shared stuff for the longest time.
It’s only been the USA that turned into a “joke” but due to the paranoia people get whenever a government starts to deny things they first admitted too, people start to report anything and everything.
I want ayylmao nutjobs to gb2 Reddit. Is it too much to ask? They infuriate me. I bet 100 buckaroos that these very same schizos are also Flat Earthers x QaNons.
