I've seen so many UFO-related news during the last month, it's insane. From that whistleblower to various reputable sources coming up with different pieces of info here and there.

It's never aliens tho. What's going on?

There have always been a lot of wingnuts in the U.S., but at one time you could assume that if someone reached a position of power in the military or government, they probably weren't completely insane.

That time has passed.
