Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

UFOs were a plot by the US government - but just to get the Russians to waste money researching something we knew was nonsense. Yet another cold war deception.
This current UAP nonsense is probably us seeing if China will buy the same ploy. Chuck Schumer does seem to be a UFO true believer though.
I'd love to read some more about this if you have some recommendations that I can go look for. I don't buy that it's all a ruse, but am open to it if the data points that way. So, recommended reading for that please!
Right now we have many senior government officials stating there are "things" that do not belong to us or our adversaries but are interfering with flight trainings on a routine basis, well respected intelligence and military officials under oath saying the same and more. I get it's still not "proven" but the movers and shakers are taking it seriously, so there's something to it - whether that's purely government corruption or "something else" remains to be seen.
Most people reading this will have no idea that these credible people are going all in on this or that there's a long history of such people coming forward. It's too bad, this is a fascinating topic. What I don't get is why anyone who thinks there is nothing there would care if this passes.
Hi! Sorry for the delay.
So bear with me here. I first heard about it on the podcast of two prominent tabletop RPG developers. One is or was an academic, and they are both intelligence nerds who heavily research intelligence history and present. Is that a credible source? I think it's an informed opinion, but i'd understand some eyebrow-raising.
You can hear them talking about the recent round of UAP stuff in this episode from july, beggining at 54:45: https://www.kenandrobintalkaboutstuff.com/index.php/episode-557-all-four-sided/
I believe the theory that UFOs were a cover story for new airplane design research that got weaponised during the cold war originates from skeptic Brian Dunning: https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4528
