UFOs are a distraction. The CIA maintains several psyops in circulation for keeping people distracted and giving them something to talk about. The aura of secrecy around aliens and UFOs is part and parcel of what makes the psyop so effective as a distraction from more pertinent issues like the war in Ukraine, French riots, and global warming.
Another way to say all this is as follows. Is it really possible that an advanced civilization has the technology to travel between stars but at the same time does not have the capability to avoid detection by some primate species with chemical rockets, kinetic weapons, and electromagnetic radars? It is entirely preposterous when expressed this way. Any civilization that can travel between stars would be capable of evading all of our most advanced detection and weapons and they most certainly would not be shot down by some F16s.
“What was most interesting to me was a repetitive sentence that he said to me over and over again. And that was the strategy that was being used to educate the public and decision makers, and the scare tactics, the spin that was being put on the weapons system. And that was how we identify an enemy. The enemy at first, he said, the enemy against whom we’re going to build a space-based weapons system. First, the Russians are going to be considered the enemy, then terrorists would be identified and that was soon to follow. Then we were going to identify third world crazies, we now call them nations of concern. The next enemy was asteroids [and] against asteroids we’re going to build space-based weapons.
“And the funniest one of all, was against what he called aliens, extraterrestrials – that would be the final card. And over, and over, and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving his speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. ‘And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We’re going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens’, and all of it, he said, is a lie.” -Werner von Braun to Carol Rosin [0]
