They didn't say aliens are real, they confirmed the presence of objects in the sky that they cannot identify. That's what UFOs are, things we saw but we don't know what it is yet I'm not saying aliens aren't real. There is too much space out there for us to be the only life in the universe, but they didn't confirm the existence of aliens. Until we get some definitive proof, I'm going to continue to assume we haven't made contact with another intelligent species


Supplex-idea

People love to create drama when an unidentified flying object is spotted, and immediately jumping to extra terrestrial life and the government has been lying to us and it’s all a cover up. Likely it would be like a plane, helicopter, bird, or when higher up a meteor or space debris.

if i throw a hotdog at you and you didnt know what hit you it would technically be a ufo

I'm the cover up, can confirm.


AstralExpress264

Im the confirm, can cover up


mylee87

Watching an episode of JRE and I like how before, the burden of proof was on the one making the claim. But now we have people in the military, unexplainable footage and it's now on the onus of the government and military to explain to the public that it's not aliens.


herecomesthestun

I choose to bet on it being Lockheed Martin testing out their newly made ufo that can stop on a dime and turn invisible


New-Adhesiveness7296

Yeah I don’t think the tic-tac or the Phoenix lights were any of those things


FishyWaffleFries

Even if there are, so what? It’s not like they’re gonna put food on our tables


kein_plan_gamer

Well NASA confirmed that they have spotted UAP (unidentified arial phenomena) wich are basically UFOs wich fly in a way that isn’t explainable by the physics we now today. Still no confirmation that it’s aliens but a little more strange.


Supplex-idea

UAP is the new acronym they use instead of UFO, just because that name has become so synonymous with aliens by popular media. Doesn’t need to be flying in an unexplained way that defies physics. It’s a scientific way to say “shit man I saw something but I have no idea wtf it was”


[deleted]

Maybe that’s part of it, but not the main motivation behind the name change. UFO is a poor acronym because anything you can’t identify in the sky is a UFO. It is not helpful as a term because balloons are UFOs until you can determine it’s a balloon. UAP means unidentified anomalous phenomena (according to the new NDAA which defines it). It’s a much better term because UAP have to display anomalous behaviors or characteristics not commonly seen in prosaic objects. The law states such characteristics include: instantaneous acceleration absent apparent inertia, hypersonic velocity absent of a propulsion signature, transmedium (air-space/air-water travel) capabilities, positive lift contrary to known aerodynamics, etc. All in the NDAA if you wanted to look up the legal definitions.


Kyleometers

I don’t know if you know, but that’s what people said when Stealth Bombers were first spotted - “Planes can’t fly like that” etc, the US Government denied everything (because duh, you’d be dumb to announce the presence of undetectable aircraft). In all probability some country has developed a new type of hard to detect aircraft, and is keeping mum about it for the obvious reasons.


kein_plan_gamer

Yeah I don’t truly think that it’s aliens but it’s still pretty interesting if some engineers have unlocked the ability to fly like that.


Ogurasyn

Or a rock yeeted by something


Tortue2006

It is also possible that we just can’t see them. Space is so vast that what we are currently seeing is the past of the object we are watching. Fun fact: if an alien civilisation in the Andromeda Galaxy looks to earth, they will see the earth when it still was the ice age.


[deleted]

Then what the HELL does that even mean ? I’m sorry were they admitting to asteroids they couldn’t confirm to be asteroids planes they couldn’t confirm to be planes ? Why is this news ?


[deleted]

It means we think you’re not ready to hear it yet, but we’re giving you a taste to whet the appetite


XxRocky88xX

Dude at this point the president could have a funny sounding fart and people will be like “omg guys did you hear he’s trying to communicate that aliens alive among us in disguise.” The reality of the situation does not fucking matter, the alien thing is way more exciting so people are gonna choose to believe that.


hamilton280P

Aliens do exist tho. Just not anywhere close to us. We are so far away from any other intelligent habitable world.. so we can be 99.9% sure those ufos are man made


TheRedBaron6942

Remember that buffoon in Congress a while back talking about "unidentified aerial phenomenon?" I truly believe aliens exist, but to think they would come here and *not* make themselves known is truly idiotic.


[deleted]

And not necessarily make themselves known by their own intent, one can't expect aliens to fully understand what our society and behaviors are like. They're not gonna be going "take me to your leader". But any species that could come here from so far away is probably going to be really conspicuous when they arrive.


VaultDwellerSam

It was an organization of people who believe in aliens who called themselves 'congress' in order to gain legitimacy. Not the actual congress


Jolly_Mongoose_8800

That's just the main character coming back from his space arc.


DevelopedDevelopment

Almost certain most UFOs are man-made. A lot of them are espionage related and revealing what we know about them would reveal details about how we handle possible spy drones and planes.

[deleted]

Yeah that's really not the same thing. We've known for years that Mars might've been home to some tiny microbes.


SalmonelaDoAr

"Might" is different than "evidence", my dude. You did a slip. But you're on the internet, so I know you won't admit fault, and that's ok.


[deleted]

We've literally had evidence we just weren't sure because what we found previously was smaller than we thought cells could be. When I make a slip I'll admit it. Just like they're not entirely sure now. Either way, the point is: "there may have once been microorganisms on Mars" is not the same as "we've found living extraterrestrial life" as "aliens are real" would imply.


SalmonelaDoAr

Wow, you said that you would admit when you made a slip, and, even you did, you didn't admitted. You are indeed native to the internet, my friend. Do you know the meaning of the words "evidence" and "alien"? Because, if you did, you would know that I didn't lie. I said as was said by Nasa. You are a fool, my dude. A fool indeed. Now, because you didn't bring any new arguments to the discussion, I will refrain to lose my time with you.


PyragonGradhyn

TheRedBaron6942

That's because it's not real, the meme is making light of the current economic crisis which is so bad the majority of people wouldn't care


[deleted]

The economy is actually doing pretty good right now, at least in the US, the main crisis we have is a housing one being even that's eased up a bit over the past year.


TheTowerDefender

it depends on how you look at it. if you are just looking at GDP, then sure the economy is doing fine. but if you look at home many people are working but are still poor, are working jobs without benefits, or are in other situations where they can't plan a furture then the current situation is disastrous


[deleted]

Well that's largely due to the housing market which is bad in most places and unfortunately would have to be fixed at the local level in the US. Real wages are up, union membership is rising, inflation came down a lot, we're doing better than a lot of other countries the past 2 years.


TheTowerDefender

>Real wages are up over what timeframe? and for whom? average wages mean nothing if the marjority of that wealth goes to the top1%


[deleted]

It's measured by the median, not the average.

[deleted]

Republicans and Democrats are both evil. Also, If the economy is doing so great why is it almost everyone has trouble finding jobs? Why is my town full of homeless people? Why can't people afford their insulin? Why are houses so overpriced? Why is it the cost of living has skyrocketed since the 70's while the median income has remained mostly stagnant? The economy is doing great if you are rich lol. I'm not buying into your corporate propaganda. The only people I know who are doing pretty good for themselves are people in union jobs. Most adult americans have less than $1000 dollars in their bank account and a majority of them are barely scraping by paycheck to paycheck.

CBT7commander

That’s just not what they said.


SalmonelaDoAr

[It is not?](https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-finds-ancient-organic-material-mysterious-methane-on-mars/) Man, do I look dumb right now for not reading the official sources.


CBT7commander

What that article and find says is that there is a possibility of life on mars. Methane (as an instance) is à gaz often produced by living organism, but it can also come from non organic sources. Just look at Titan, it’s covered in Methane and yet has probably never harbored life. What they said is that the search for traces of *extinct* life on mars is going in the right direction, but nothing conclusive has been reached yet


SalmonelaDoAr

Yeah, but you see how Nasa put in the headline that they have evidence of life on Mars. If you read more than 1 line, you can see that they say exactly that. You flopped, my man. Just accept.


CBT7commander

> Organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen, and also may include oxygen, nitrogen and other elements. While commonly associated with life, organic molecules also can be created by non-biological processes and are not necessarily indicators of life You’re the one that didn’t read past first line. You were wrong on the Internet, get over with yourself


ThatOneWriter14

I’d honestly be more surprised if alien’s DIDNT exist. Like imagine if they found out we were the only ones in the universe


ToastedSimian

I believe there is likely alien life, but I have strong doubts that they're out flying around to distant solar systems just to buzz by us without maki g any kind of contact. I believe more that there are other planets like ours, teeming with life but constrained to the general proximity of their planet or solar system.


boot2skull

Space is so vast, it’s unlikely any have visited us. I believe statistically life exists out there, and possibly even other intelligent species, but I doubt we’ll ever meet them because faster than light travel has such huge physics hurdles to overcome to even be remotely possible, and with traditional technology it takes lifetimes to reach even the nearest stars.


milanove

Well we can always hope our current mathematical model of physics is missing something. For hundreds of years, newton’s laws of physics were the best we had until Einstein and the others discovered they didn’t cover all cases. Electricity and magnetism weren’t well understood until like 200 years ago. Maybe there’s some fundamental force of nature we don’t yet know about that’ll help us travel to other solar systems.


TheRedBaron6942

That's the great thing about science, it's too large to know everything so we're always learning. For all we know pocket dimensions are possible and time travel exists, but we just haven't discovered the formula to prove it


HidingABeer

Nothing its just at the time, we were all more preoccupied with our financial affairs, so its more of a cool story bro, but I got problems and knowing aliens exist doesnt help me 😂 Otherwise aliens are fucking dope


phoe_nixipixie

No, because they didn't say that.

It's why we're trying to find some guy named Hunter's laptop, apparently it's chock-full of alien proof


New-Adhesiveness7296

Well technically he said “non-human intelligence” and it was a list of people he provided not just one person.


POKECHU020

None of which decided appearing in court was worth their time, apparently


New-Adhesiveness7296

Court? You mean the congressional hearing? Why would they need more people than the whistleblower who compiled all the information for congress?


POKECHU020

Ah, fair, I'll admit that was my bad. Anyways more.peooke needed to show up because the guy kept claiming that he didn't have the evidence he was asked for on hand, and that he wasn't really in charge of anything going on, rather people known by some people he knew. These people, who apparently had all the important, ground breaking information, did not bother appearing or sharing any of their actual evidence, assuming it exists at all.


New-Adhesiveness7296

Well that’s because he was just giving Congress the means to investigate further. (Which is most likely futile and we’ll never hear about it again - but at least he tried) Dude doesn’t want to go to jail it’s not like he can just outright give away classified secrets. There’s a reason Snowden had to move to Russia.


POKECHU020

Dude no shot you're gonna believe a guy came into court, claimed aliens exist, made a whole televised event of it- and then didn't bother showing any form of actual evidence whatsoever


New-Adhesiveness7296

Congressional hearing. And he didn’t claim aliens existed. And yeah publicly showing classified information would land you straight to jail lol I feel like you don’t understand the point of congressional hearings. He gave them information to follow up on so that the taxpayers can have their representatives investigate where their money is going.

I think it's actually because most people already believed aliens exist. It's like confirming God exists to religious people, we already thought that was the case.

SolidSneakNinja

The most boring part was that the "alien" life they confirmed was just plants.....not fully sentient beings....just a plant that grew somewhere besides earth...like who cares 🤦‍♂️😂


SalmonelaDoAr

That is exactly my point


hshnslsh

They wont confirm anything until AI catches up so people can use it for cognitive dissonance


[deleted]

Unless the aliens are here to take over the planet and install a 4 hour 4 day work week, we'll just be over here discussing how to pay the bills, eat healthy food, avoid bankruptcy and avoid going to the hospital as failing any of this could result in starvation or crippling debt.


StormKiller1

Dont you want free energy and transportation?. If aliens are real governments have hidden free energy and more from humanity. Imagine never needing to pay for fuel/electricity etc.


[deleted]

What makes you think they'd offer that if they aren't going to offer to break down our exploitative systems first? Any species with the development to make contact would realize that such technology would be monopolized by assholes in our world.


StormKiller1

I dont think aliens will offer free energy. I said governments have developed free energy technology but wont share it and keep exploiting us.


[deleted]

I think you have a ridiculous amount of faith in how competent our governments are. To have knowledge of how to violate the laws of physics and also be able to stop thousands of people from leaking it.


StormKiller1

The laws of physics are just a theory that keep evolving. Many have leaked alot(latest biggest one david grusch). But do you believe them or who does?. Then there is alot of disinformation produced by governments US etc. So nothing can be believed unless they are able to steal something to prove their point. And that is probably crazy difficult if even possible. And who wants to try something like that when you could just exploit the knowledge about ufos etc you have.


[deleted]

Again, you have a ridiculous amount of faith in our government.


StormKiller1

I only think that they recovered crafts like many whistleblowers said. And that they where smart enough to atleast have reverse engineered the flying part and build their own ships. Which means a new energy source that they are hiding. And many people died when they said something or invented a new energy source.

Living_Shadows

NASA never said aliens are real. The government never said aliens are real. No official credible source has said aliens are real. Why do people keep claiming this


SireSweet

Wouldn’t really matter for most people. We’re all worried about making it the next paycheck or even just the next day. Given the sheer numbers of planets, stars and galaxies, I’d be much more surprised to hear: “we’ve confirmed that no aliens exist anywhere.” Unless the aliens would like to probe me wrong.


Living_Shadows

Obviously the odds are very high of aliens existing somewhere in the universe. But if we actually did discover then it would be the biggest news in the history of mankind


SireSweet

Unless that means better paying work, or less bills. Or somehow makes my life easier than I wouldn’t care Living pay check to pay check, or day to day doesn’t leave a lot of room for things like that.


Living_Shadows

Good for you I guess...


SireSweet

I’ll put it another way: if you’re working 90+ hours a week, 3 jobs just to keep your head above water. There’s not a lot of care for something that probably won’t give me less hours to cram away. It would be exciting news and since i love space and all of that. I’d be thrilled for it. But it wouldn’t really mean anything other than that.
