Unidentified Flying Objects means just that; sci-fi books and movies push the notion that they’re “aliens” from other planets. I’m willing to bet that they’re experimental aircraft. Yeah, I’m no fun at parties.
My husband watches a lot of stuff on YouTube, and he falls asleep in front of the t.v., and sooner, rather than later, some ancient alien nonsense cycles on. I can’t believe anyone believes that crap.
“I can’t believe anyone believes that crap.”
There’s an entire industry that flourishes by exploiting the willing suspension of disbelief.
