almost every human in the U.S. has a phone that will take video, and not a single video of the supposed eight foot space aliens ... not one ... if there’s no video, then it didn’t happen ... period ...

Many of us don’t have a cell phone tied to their hip or in their hand 24/7 with their face buried in it. I still have a land line and the cell seldom if ever leaves the house unless I’m on the Harley.
