Not a single shred of physical evidence has been presented for any of the 'sightings'. Basic photography and physics explain the new videos. Just lens flare, bokeh effect, parallax motion, etc. Nothing extraterrestrial, just your average unintelligent American pilot.

It's bullshit. But not because aliens don't exist, I believe they do. But this media publicity is clearly meant to be the buildup for some large fake alien threat.

9/11 was the most recent event that allowed the powers that be to grab massive amounts of power. Will the next be a fake alien threat? I don't know. Maybe.
