Calling them/theyselves democrat.
What I am referring to is the "Phenomenon."
It used to be thought of as UFOs, but now UFOs and so-called alien technology are thought to be mere facades or fronts of something much more complicated. As people who follow this stuff closely say, what used to be a mystery about metallic spaceships (UFOs) has morphed into the "Phenomenon"...and the foundation of the "Phenomenon" is the Woo.
Scientists who are studying this stuff quickly found out that there was a "hitchhiker effect" involved.
Some of the seamen and pilots onboard the Nimitz nuclear carrier who had seen the famous "tic-tacs" (from aircraft (F-18s), on radar, or gun camera videos) soon thereafter began suffering from various psychological problems, with some being followed home after separation by "orbs," little gray aliens who appear in their bedrooms, and even what, for lack of a better term, were described as "poltergeists."
I have formed no conclusions and am only an observer. That said, it is fascinating.
