A couple weird things here. A seemingly convincing video is posted. It gets a lot of traction. Then an airtight debunk is posted. Now, normally, this is the subreddit operating as intended. This is what we want.

The “off” part is how the debunkers always use the phrase “I want to believe” and how the comment sections are flooded with arguments and ridicule. Dismissive mocking about belief in aliens or little green men. Claims of mass hysteria as if nothing is happening.

Planes and balloons have always been the most common misidentified objects on this sub, but lately, a lot of obvous bait videos from odd accounts are getting posted. Then in comes the friendly skeptic with the X-files quote. As if they can’t help the urge to sneak in a subtle insult your intelligence. It’s kinda funny in a way.

It seems like the objective is to convince the wider world that there is no story here. Kill it before it spreads. The media is even using stock drone footage and bokeh orbs like they don’t have professional camera operators.

Clearly something is happening. The entire state authorites, governors, and citizenry (aka the people ACTUALLY witnessing the events) are not all mistaken. There are objects in other countries and states being seen by pilots and trained professionals. We’ve had multiple hearings with sworn testimony in Congress, seen AARO and DoD caught in obvious lies, yet still, so many accounts completely in disbelief.

Don’t let intimidation tactics prevent you from posting the things you see if you want some extra eyes to help you identify something. UFOs have always been the most ridiculed topic in American history and I feel like there is significant effort to get us to disengage. Honestly, thank you to all who put themselves out there and post with genuine intent.

It doesn’t matter what you believe. Stay skeptical. (you ARE on the internet) Be friendly. Keep an open mind. Don’t be afraid.

And don’t burn yourself out arguing with bad faith weirdos.

If you’ve noticed weirdness from weirdos on our weirdo sub, talk about it here.

Edit: Wow. I didn’t expect so many people to feel attacked by this post. Someone even deleted their account. I just wanted to support people continuing to post. Must be over the target.
