    Either the U.S. government has mounted an extraordinary, decades-long coverup of UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering activities, or elements of the defense and intelligence establishment are engaging in a staggeringly brazen psychological disinformation campaign.

    This sentiment echoes my own thoughts. In my opinion, either of these scenarios should be the most significant news right now.

      Scenario 2 would be significant but imo not the most significant news given that defence and intelligence communities have continually engaged the public with brazen psychological disinformation campaigns throughout recent history… this would be a particularly elaborate example of their regular shenanigans

        I concur with you that the disinformation is part of how our government operates, and in and of itself, that’s not necessarily newsworthy. However, I would argue that scenario 2 could be considered newsworthy due to its extensive reach. If this scenario were true, it would mean that the government successfully convinced the United States Congress to such an extent that the House is holding both private and public hearings, and the Senate is enacting legislation (the UAP amendment). In my personal view, this would indeed be newsworthy.

      This is exactly my line of thinking. If this really is all a psyop, then that has great implications for their abilities at large.
