It makes far more sense to believe that UFO’s are secret military aircraft than it does to believe they come from another planet.

What is sort of ironic is that regardless of what you believe you have to believe a conspiracy theory. Either there are extra-terrestrials snooping around and world governments are involved in a massive cover-up despite perceived rivalries, OR the government(s) is/are at least partially using a belief in UFO’s to deflect inquiry into the existence of secret aircraft.

Those are the only two options. So, which conspiracy do you wish to believe?

You forget the multiverse explanation.

Prepare to be mind blown.

You missed one. Is it a coincidence that Trumps uncle saw the work that likely was the source that led to these “new” technologies?

Those are the only two options.

WHAT?!?!?

No demons?

only if you ‘believe’ that transportation is by propelling a vehicle physically THROUGH space and that being limited by the speed of light. All other transportation methods may greatly vary and not be limited to pushing through space like skimming above space and so on.

Only if you believe that out of the trillions and trillions of galaxies with hundreds of millions of stars each, that life and intelligent life only exists in this backwater galaxy, in an insignificant solar system, on the periphery of that galaxy, on one tiny planet ...

Or governments are not really in competition with each other, because they are a meme to make us think nobody had central control and could keep secrets from us.

There are people who run afoul of “government-like” forces in the US who flee to China, and are picked up by seemingly the exact same network.

Your choices are based on a few assumptions (which probably or at least may not be correct):

(1) World governments are the only powerful folks around with high tech or the ability to cover it up...

(2) There are no factions within governments that could compartmentalized secret information or cover it up...

(3) (more controversial) There exists no alien technology to "impersonate" or "mimic" human appearance or behavior.

(4) (even more controversial) There exists no other alien technology that could assist a cover-up of information (locally or globally).

Bottom line--we humans don't know what we don't know...
