We already learned they were fake with the Air Forces Project Bluebook in the 50s/60s. No need to look further. /s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Blue_Book



Summary of conclusions:

"""

+ No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security;

+ There was no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represented technological developments or principles beyond the range of modern scientific knowledge; and

+ There was no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" were extraterrestrial vehicles.

"""

Where do you learn that they are "fake" ?


UFO != "fake" or alien. UFO encompasses anything that couldn't be readily identified. Be it a weather balloon, experimental craft or something a pilot caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of their eye. If the pilot is unable to identify it even due to lack of knowledge, it is deemed unidentifiable. No aliens or conspiracies required.

I mean sure, there could be aliens or conspiracies involved, but it seems unlikely given how poor people are at keeping even the smallest secret.


/s = sarcasm. Thank you for the reply.
