Disinformation can be a very useful weapon.

I remember getting to hear a former worker for a particular government agency tell a bit about the ‘why’ of the ESP experiments - to the effect of ‘none us thought any of it was real, but what *IF* it had been? And what if it had been and the Soviets learned more than us?

Still, why should we believe a single thing any government tells us?

The Soviets took that stuff very seriously.

There is one problem with the government playing games with the UFO situation. What for? Was it just to entertain themselves? Make fun of the citizenry? Waste taxpayer’s money? I think their story is too cute by half. They sure spent a lot of time and money on something they claim is only science fiction.

Maybe the use the UFO disinformation to hide the fact that they don’t have a clue as to what’s really happening.

This reminds me that August is the most busy month for UFO sightings and press coverage and I’ve seen nothing about the subject yet this month.

Yeah, maybe. But I know what I’ve seen. Twice!

Suppose we have a craft that will fly at the speed of light. We don’t want anyone to know we have it. So, it must be aliens flying around out there.

Not much about UFO’s at all anymore in the press.

But it’s a huge industry now with Coast To Coast type nonsense and other nonsense.

Not sure about anyone else here, but I'd be interested in hearing if you're interested in telling.

Really a clincher ain`nt it.

A man denies having an affair for years and then tells his wife the secret, he was deliberately just making it look as if he were having an affair.

They've got to keep the spotlight on the civil-unrest / race relations; and secondarily on the "action at the border" (which can be spun as racist)…
just keep people from noticing Art 4, Sec 4 and the Constitutional definition of Treason.

Me too. They were UFOs. The tech was like nothing I have ever seen.

Maybe these guys told Gordon Cooper him to make up that good UFO stuff to put in his biography "Leap of Faith."

Either that, or he was a liar of epic proportions.

Yeah. That's the ticket.

Yeah, I'm with the others. Care to share the story?

I pray that we live to ripe old age still arguing about UFOs. That will be a wonderful blessing.

Because the instant any technologically superior life form from another planet appeared here "officially," our world and our lives would change to make the difference between Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 10 - 11, 2001, look like a ridiculously silly fracas.

I would just as soon that wait for another 50, 60 years or so.
