Lemi correct, though - human ability to believe nonsense together. And low tolerance for cognitive dissonance, in general. There is a social aspect of willingly buying into fact free ideas. Human race is highly irrational. More irrational than not, and collectively.

Considering how short some sightings are, not everyone can get over their shock to get their smartphone out in the split second they see something, or happens to have their phones out at the time of a sighting, before they disappear. There is lots of crappy footage out there, lots of it fake as hell, some of it genuine UFO footage that cannot be explained, some from live NASA feeds that is also extremely interesting.

UFO's are the only mass unexplained phenomenon I can think of that has sightings that I believe are statistically probable and scientifically credible and that have confounded many good pilots and military minds who are trained to assess and/or recognise all of the things they see in the air.

This is one example that made national media and was never explained: https://youtu.be/OQ7l-Fi5nJY?t=258

Lots of other videos from pilots https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ufo+pilot

NYTimes recent article on the subject https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/26/u...vy-pilots.html

For the proportion of sightings (however small) that even after detailed analysis by experts in their field can genuinely not be explained by known weather phenomena or man-made technology, it could also either be highly advanced and classified terrestrial technology, or it could be 'something else'. As radar/tracking and camera technology improves I hope it leads to more clarity and openness.

?? in the video it says exactly what it is, space x rocket launch

Exactly. I personally know cabin crew who have seen and reported such objects. These sightings have been officially logged by the pilot, but it's kind of an unwritten thing that you don't report it a second time if you don't want to end up being groundcrew. Allegedly, one of the commonest routes for sightings is JNB-SYD.

Watch from 4:45mins https://youtu.be/OQ7l-Fi5nJY?t=258

yep left it running and saw, there is some bat shit crazy stuff on that guys channel lol

If they are indeed aliens visiting us, they must be technologically far superior to us. Question then is: what would be the motive for them to play a hide and seek game? Or would they consider earth as a kind of trip to the zoo?

"On the 40th anniversary of the moon landing — or was it just a sinister hoax? — TIME looks at 10 of the world's most enduring conspiracy theories....."

Having a well deserved coffee a few minutes ago and managed to catch this beauty with an iPhone 8.. Chem-trailing SOBs' they are ruining the local grass, I am gonna have word with the local town committee.

Not irrational, we simply make our own facts.

Twa 800 cover up
USS Scorpion was sunk by a Russian Sub
Malaysia Air 370
Po210
Lab 257 / Lyme disease

We don't do covert/conspiracy like we used to.

Manhattan Project
Oak Ridge
The Green Run
Air America
Project Azorian/Glomar Explorer

The ghost of flight 401.

Operation Highjump - aliens or nazis
Philadelphia Experiment - time travel
Planet X/Nibiru - orbit
Nikolai Tesla - suppressed research
Sphinx - age

Maybe not conspiracies, but it’s possible there is more involved then the “official” explanation.

America is a democracy

electoral college origins https://www.historycentral.com/elect...collgewhy.html

"Hamilton and the other founders believed that the electors would be able to ensure that only a qualified person becomes President. They thought that with the Electoral College no one would be able to manipulate the citizenry. It would act as a check on an electorate that might be duped. Hamilton and the other founders did not trust the population to make the right choice. The founders also believed that the Electoral College had the advantage of being a group that met only once and thus could not be manipulated over time by foreign governments or others."

Something's not working...

I don't buy into the argument anymore of everyone having a phone, I had a UFO experience (spoiler, was a nearby village releasing floating candles, or maybe it was swamp gas) the point is I had a good camera, and a tripod, not a phone, and I got photos and film no better than anything I'd previously lamented on the internets.

Regarding conspiracy theories, Gerald Posner's book "Case Closed" on the JFK assassination is a dry read but ought to be enough to put to rest any lingering doubts, the attention to detail is impressive.

Much as I want to believe in aliens at area 51, Annie Jacobsen's book "Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base" put paid to that, based on interviews with something like 70 ex-workers from the base, she explains in a matter of fact way what happened at Roswell (no spoilers but it's *waaay* weirder and more disturbing than aliens) Moon landing deniers are just nutters, it's the single event in human history for which there is the most evidence.

I think Rendlesham Forest is probably the most compelling for me.

Oh my, you really believe this twaddle (spoiler was in a review)? https://www.amazon.com/product-revie...owViewpoints=1



And another...

and this is the problem, people form opinions based on a few lines of text they pull of the internet rather than actually reading a book. Oh well.

So following your train of thought - if I read the whole of the New Testament, Jesus really does become the son of God?
