Why did /r/ufo start hitting the front page after citizen citrus groped his way into the White House? Did trump campaign on releasing UFO info?
While I enjoy speculating over UFO/UAP footage, it can be abused by a lot of media to take the spotlight off of some other very real and most likely concerning news.
Trump is speed running the collapse of a nation, so it makes sense for coverage to deviate to UFO/other news when he’s doing dodgies.
A little bit, yeah. Trump supporters are also very desperate people, many of them turned to the dark side due to grievances with the world. And not all of them are always imagined. The wrong part is the conclusions these people come to and the way they go about correcting what they think is wrong…

Every time I had seen it hit the fp when I still used Reddit, it was because some new ex-military person came out saying they had proof that the US government had aliens and alien craft… Only for it to be a big ol’ fat nothing burger.

Remember when there was all those drones and everyone was convinced it was either a Russian invasion or aliens and then, nothing

The aviation subs/communities pointed out how kind it was for aliens to use Federal Aviation Administration approved lights and lighting schemes. Really kind of them to build craft that follow US laws.

The news also got obsessed over the fact that drones made of plastic don’t appear on radar.
