    they’re a cultural phenomenon, but rest assured it’s not really a thing here either. the vast majority of people either don’t care or reasonably think supernatural/extraterrestrial uap’s aren’t really a thing. there’s just a shit-ton of people here so it feels like it is.

      There’s a shit-ton more people in India and they don’t have a significant UFO freak crowd. They have one like I’m sure every country has some small group but there’s a huge difference between a fringe vs what america churns out. There’s more to it that is uniquely american. Like, as a percentage of population there’s way more of these people in america than here in britain, it’s like weapons-grade shit for brains was poured into the population by something but it’s incredibly hard to determine exactly what.

      My suspicion is that a lot of UFO sightings have been military tests of sorts that are then covered up with crank conspiracy stories, and that making UFOs a popular phenomenon benefits in covering up actual sightings of test aircraft or military psychological tests of population reaction to certain events. All of these things happening significantly less in other countries because america’s fascistic military shit dwarfs most of the world combined resulting in such a stark difference.
