If there really is a UFO conspiracy, it's surely the worst-kept secret in history. Roswell, Area 51, flashing lights, little green men, abductions – it's all been fed through the pop culture mill to the point of fatigue. Even the supposed enforcers of the secret, the "men in black", have their own movie franchise. But a new documentary, Mirage Men, unearths compelling evidence that UFO folklore was actually fabricated by the US government. Rather than covering up the existence of aliens, could it be that the real conspiracy has been persuading us to believe in them?
Mirage Men's chief coup is to land an actual man in black: a former Air Force special investigations officer named Richard Doty, who admits to having infiltrated UFO circles. A fellow UFO researcher says: "Doty had this wonderful way to sell it – 'I'm with the government. You cooperate with us and I'm going to tell you what the government really knows about UFOs, deep down in those vaults.'" Doty and his colleagues fed credulous ufologists lies and half-truths, knowing their fertile imaginations would do the rest. In return, they were apprised of chatter from the community, thus alerting the military when anyone was getting to close to their top-secret technology. And if the Soviets thought the US really was communing with aliens, all the better.

Disinformation can be a very useful weapon.
I remember getting to hear a former worker for a particular government agency tell a bit about the ‘why’ of the ESP experiments - to the effect of ‘none us thought any of it was real, but what *IF* it had been? And what if it had been and the Soviets learned more than us?
Still, why should we believe a single thing any government tells us?
The Soviets took that stuff very seriously.
There is one problem with the government playing games with the UFO situation. What for? Was it just to entertain themselves? Make fun of the citizenry? Waste taxpayer’s money? I think their story is too cute by half. They sure spent a lot of time and money on something they claim is only science fiction.
Maybe the use the UFO disinformation to hide the fact that they don’t have a clue as to what’s really happening.

This reminds me that August is the most busy month for UFO sightings and press coverage and I’ve seen nothing about the subject yet this month.
“Maybe the use the UFO disinformation to hide the fact that they don’t have a clue as to what’s really happening.”
Yeah, maybe. But I know what I’ve seen. Twice!
Suppose we have a craft that will fly at the speed of light. We don’t want anyone to know we have it. So, it must be aliens flying around out there.
“This reminds me that August is the most busy month for UFO sightings and press coverage and I’ve seen nothing about the subject yet this month.”
Not much about UFO’s at all anymore in the press.
But it’s a huge industry now with Coast To Coast type nonsense and other nonsense.
Not sure about anyone else here, but I’d be interested in hearing if you’re interested in telling.
Really a clincher ain`nt it.
A man denies having an affair for years and then tells his wife the secret, he was deliberately just making it look as if he were having an affair.
They've got to keep the spotlight on the civil-unrest / race relations; and secondarily on the "action at the border" (which can be spun as racist)…
just keep people from noticing Art 4, Sec 4 and the Constitutional definition of Treason.
Well, there’s this:
Mysterious objects filmed near Space Station send UFO watchers into frenzy

Me too. They were UFOs. The tech was like nothing I have ever seen.
Either that, or he was a liar of epic proportions.
Yeah. That's the ticket.
I pray that we live to ripe old age still arguing about UFOs. That will be a wonderful blessing.
Because the instant any technologically superior life form from another planet appeared here "officially," our world and our lives would change to make the difference between Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 10 - 11, 2001, look like a ridiculously silly fracas.
I would just as soon that wait for another 50, 60 years or so.
