The sad thing is we have a whole new branch of the military that might be perfectly designed to assess what these things are

and figure out if they're a threat or not and maybe respond.

If there was ever a reason to have space force, this might be it.

I never seen one before.

No, bad.

That's shocking at first.

The acceptance of the idea is something you thought only children and fools believed in.

It undermines your beliefs and yourself in the world.

But then you come to understand.

Understand what? We had a perfect conspiracy with an alien race.

Kept secret for over 50 years

ever since the crash of Rossman

now that would be psychological warfare for geopolitical purposes.

What about psychological warfare for domestic purposes?

Stoking fear or manipulating our emotions or playing on just these deep-seated cultural fears about abductions,

you know, X-files, communion, this primal fear that there's, you know, that while

you're sleeping in bed, that something that moves faster than the laws of physics can come and

these creatures can like kidnap you and do experiments on you and then bring you back.

It really hits you in your gut, right? Because this is something that transcends

just a normal fear about crime or a car accident or whatever. It's like, or death. I mean,

this is something that you can't explain. Therefore, it's, it's, it's an incomprehensible fear. Yeah,

exactly. It transcends everything else, which almost might be the effect and purpose of this is because it goes back to the whole folklore of like if aliens visit us, the world will be united against them instead of like focusing on your government or each other.
