Don't believe the official govt explanation? Wait a minute for it to change . . .

I wish I'd been there in 1947, when the flying saucer/weather balloon crashed in Roswell New Mexico. This event of course is the archetype of contradictory US explanations for aerial phenomena. And the resulting conspiracy theories. Let me dismiss the Roswell flying saucer BS with a single sentence: wouldn't 1940's folks who'd never seen a weather balloon be completely baffled by it? And wouldn't the military immediately haul away the debris if the balloon's payload was something OTHER than a barometer and wind speed sensor? (okay – that's 2 sentences)

Let's fast forward to the present. Over the past week various officials and spokespersons made the following statements about recent UFOs. Which of these are believable, which are complete BS, and which are highly unlikely? (I've given my own opinion next to each item).

1 - “We haven't yet recovered a single piece of debris from the 4 near-arctic objects shot down since Saturday (complete BS)
2 - “The original balloon, shot down over South Carolina, was a Chinese surveillance device” (yes, I believe this)
3 - “The South Carolina object may have strayed off course by accident” (highly unlikely – this explanation was served up yesterday as part of the first steps to de-escalate and walk back international tensions)
4 - “The US hasn't had any of its own spy balloons over Chinese territory” (highly unlikely)
5 - “The 4 near-arctic objects had no visible means of propulsion” (probably true)
6 - “The 4 near-arctic objects were shot down because the posed an imminent threat to commercial aviation” (highly unlikely)
7 - “The 4 near arctic objects interfered with the jet fighters' instrumentation” (Unlikely, but I'm keeping an open mind about this one)
8 - “We haven't ruled out extraterrestrial origin for the 4 near-arctic objects” (Complete BS)
9 - “No nation has claimed responsibility for the 4 near-arctic objects” (probably true)
10 - “NORAD is not tracking any additional high-altitude objects currently” (complete BS - they get radar hits every day)

Of course, you own responses may differ, based on factors like your security clearance, education level, naivete, and whether you've ever been abducted by a UFO.

Now if only some of those top-secret papers which Trump and Biden "mishandled" were concerning UFOs, I'd really get excited. Do you know that Elvis once gave an interview about the time a drunk President Nixon took him to an underground vault in some government building and actually SHOWED him dead aliens? No wonder they had to kill Elvis . . .
