Now that the Pentagon takes UFOs seriously, it’s perhaps appropriate to consider some more mundane aspects of the phenomenon — namely, what it means for markets. UFO data will probably remain murky and unresolved, but if UFOs of alien origin become somewhat more likely (starting, to be clear, from a low base rate), which prices will change?

If aliens really are among us, they do not seem determined to influence the course of worldly events. They have neither destroyed us nor saved us, with say a cure for cancer or world peace or a proof of Goldbach’s conjecture. Their vehicles, if indeed it is vehicles we are observing, dart away when approached by Navy pilots. Even if you took the extreme view that one million of them are living under the ocean — would that affect Wall Street expectations for the number of iPhones sold next year? Maybe it would increase demand for a fly-by camera option.

Most of us would get used to the idea of alien presence without quite believing in it. As The New Yorker makes clear, many Americans believed in alien-origin UFOs after World War II, as did many American policymakers. It might have spurred greater interest in the space program and science fiction, but it didn’t affect most aspects of American life, nor did it seem to drive markets.
Never underestimate the capacity of markets, like humans, to adapt. Just as many of the strangest parts of our lives can come to seem normal, so Wall Street can find a way to do business with just about anybody — aliens included.

Some speculators would talk about expanding markets and changing demographics.
Meanwhile I wish the Pentagon would take threats of Communism seriously.
First of all, The Pentagon would need to be taken seriously.
That’s not the case. Neither are UFO’s.
Why is the Pentagon pushing this stuff now, after playing the role of debunker for decades?
UFOs haven’t even wasted their time buzzing the Capitol and WH for decades!

Lue Elizondo said in an interview last week that the Pentagon knows a heck of lot more than it is admitting to the public.
2-"Take it Seriously" suggests their is some action to be taken...there isn't.
I’m thinking it’s all a hoax. Classic magician’s trick of misdirection. The real question is, misdirect from what?
This guy knows and so does the Pentagon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McVqKmUaaok&t=1s
Yeah, Elizondo, Captain Obvious.
He is counting on the fact that people don’t know their history:

Elizondo may soon discover that cars work better than horses and buggies—breaking news!
It’s hard to take anybody in govt seriously anymore.
He’s correct.
What if they are not aliens, but a previous civilization(s) that left Earth 10s of thousands or Eons ago?

What a goose chase 🤨
Exactly—old news.
The Pentagon has been playing footsies with UFOs for decades.
Just not buying into the current hype...
My favorite oldie but goodie:

UFOs played video games with US nuclear weapons decades ago—and _now_ we are supposed to worried about it?
Exactly....while I have no idea if UFOs meaning alien vessels exist I wonder why an entity would travel billions of miles ....land...and not make contact....just saying!!!
I don’t even believe that the recently woke CIA opposes Marxism.
