From the Captain Obvious department:

UFO's Aren't Real

We are still left with the Fermi Paradox which says that we should find solid evidence of aliens if they are visiting. Now we still just have grainy photos and possibly doctored film.

Here is a good quote from the article:

As West points out in the first video above, there is nothing new about the latest UFO releases. All that has changed is that now the government has released its own footage, which is basically the same kind of evidence that he and other skeptics have debunked in the past, just with better resolution. But because the government now tells them it’s ok to believe something, people take that as a sign of credibility.

What’s depressing about this, as someone who writes about foreign policy, is that the national security bureaucracy is apparently still considered credible. These are the people who spent50 years investigating psychic ability while James Randi was alive. Glenn Greenwald has written abouthow the media often treats unsubstantiated claims from this class as gospel, even when officials might have obvious political motivations for what they’re saying (think the "Russian bounty” story meant to keep the US in Afghanistan).

Marco Rubio brings up UFOs as a "national security issue” as he tells us thatthey might be some advanced technology coming from China and Russia, and encourages us to spend more money to compete with those countries. It seems to me that if China and Russia have figured out how to defy the laws of physics, then nothing we do is going to help us catch up and we might as well give in to whatever their demands are.

It seems to me stoking UFO mania serves the National Intelligence community and the Deep State well; it distracts from what they are doing by laying out red herrings, and it allows the Deep State defenders to call conservatives crazy conspiracy nuts because of all the fake conspiracy theories propogated by the Deep State. Nobody believes you when you point to what they are doing since so many conspiracy theories are floating around by their design.

I think this business came out when it did precisely to divert attention away from U.S. complicity in the Covid Pandemic (we were funding the Wuhan lab) and from Biden's theft of the election. They need some red herrings to distract the public. This is one of them, I suspect.
