When the US was doing a terrible job at keeping COVID under control, we got UFO stories. When the Norfolk-Southern, East-Palestine OH thing was going down, we got UFO stories. Just a couple days ago, Earth hit its highest average global temperature in recorded history, and now we're hearing of them again.
The only people who are stupid enough to not see through this are also the people stupid enough to believe in aliens
Indeed, and I'm perfectly convinced there are aliens in this vast universe of ours, I just think it's absurd to believe that aliens who mastered interstellar travel have nothing better to do than to zip around here.
Earth's civilisations are so backwards rn, too. If aliens did manage to get here, they would be far more advanced. It would be like walking to the shop and stopping to talk to an ants nest.
They also happen to only visit Amerika too. Aliens, for all I care, is a purely epistemological uncertainty. I stay agnostic on whether or not they are out there. What is absurd is that while all these devices we have pointing up at the sky to see and hear things from all the spectrums detected no UFOs, yet the aliens are just there hovering above Amerika. I would expect extraterrestrial life studies to come from some meticulously put-together study from scientists (who are very good at pattern recognition and also statistical reasoning). The simplest explanation here is that they're just a distraction deployed en-masse.
