I'm really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I'll coast right through it. I'll also accept "I don't" and "very poorly" as answers

Or, much more likely, something was going on that they didn't understand, such as this: https://youtu.be/jHDlfIaBEqw?si=_wPWoNuzIRa2CrGw&t=548

Right, cause the leaked, top secret, and confirmed real video is a fake? i don't trust the images, but i do trust the stories and people behind the videos. I know its hard to believe, but the truth truly is out there

Who said fake?

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The title of your video says debunk ie faked

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Debunking can also mean to expose something as exaggerated, which is what these are.

They're just aerial phenomena that the government can't or doesn't care to explain. It absolutely does not mean any of what they released is of extra terrestrial origin, nor does it imply there's any crazy advanced tech going on. It's typically misinterpretations or weird tricks of light occurring in camera, which are initially classified as the cause is unknown, then are later deemed safe to declassify.
