Gotta quickly share my Art Bell story. Art Bell may very have been a deep-state CIA employee planting fake UFO stories to cover for other nefarious government ops, but he was dam good at it. One early Saturday morning I had to go in to work and happened upon his show on an AM station on my car radio. He was interviewing a guy who was reporting on aliens making contact somewhere in the Pacific northwest. it sounded so incredibly real and authentic. I totally believed the aliens had landed as the report went on for 10-12 minutes. Then, the station cut to air some commercials. I tried other stations and all was as normal. Once at work my colleagues told me about Art Bell and his show. But there for a few minutes, I was hooked!
The famous one about the pilot flying into area 51. And then his radio went dead. Lol. Clear message from the CIA there. Lol.
