Comment on Reported UFO sightings. Aliens are very interested in the USA

When the first dinosaur bone was discovered, noone had heard about it before and people believed that bones they found before were from some animals

After people knew about dinosaurs they started finding them other places in the world at a rapid pace. Many people thought it was all a hoax

So you know, unless you know about them you don’t know what to report. And americans think most about aliens I guess.

That being said, probably there aren’t secret aliens around. probably 🫣

So… what were they mistaking the aliens for?

I mean, the actual verified “alien craft” in America is actually more of a “not sure what that is” grainy footage in an age where Donald Trump tweeted out classified satellite images that showed the cameras we use are actually far more advanced and show far more detail than any we knew existed. And that technology was over a decade old at the time!

  My guess is secret and experimental technologies.

  Ghosts. Spirits. Dragons. Or any other mythical creatures, or mythical phenomena of your choice.
  
  If there were aliens, those are the descriptions I would expect through most of human history. And those are the descriptions I would expect in basically all the world, almost everywhere that isn’t the US, even today.

    So it couldn’t be Americans mistaking ghosts for aliens? Or bigfoot, a creature that we haven’t been able to verify because their culture advanced past ours and is able to cloak themselves and occasionally go on joyrides in their more advanced technology and forget to turn on the cloaking device? We have just as much evidence for all of these things.

  I think its like bigfoot / mothman etc - once someone in your area is talking about seeing a thing, it increases the likelihood you will think you saw that thing specifically next time you see something that would be otherwise unexplainable to you

I have several relatives who “see” plots all the time. Every time I deal with them I get to hear about them. Bet you didn’t know that there is a plot to turn frogs gay and convert our children into drag queens.
