Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This seems psy-op-ey

I'll believe that "unidentified flying objects" are a common sight. I'll believe that some of those look like they could be alien spacecraft. That doesn't mean we've actually encountered aliens.

My theory has always been that these are higher dimensional shapes passing through a 3d membrane. The erratic darting around makes more sense in that context... It's like if you drop a chain into the water, just looking at where it hits the surface it would seem like 2-4 orbs jumping around with incredible speed, but in reality it's not moving in relationship to the surface, so it wouldn't have water resistance except as it falls through the 2d slice

I mean I'd love for these to be aliens, but darting around impossibly is a very strange way to communicate... This also tends to happen around certain regions more than others. That makes sense to me, depending on the hyper geometry I think you'd expect to see

Hell, maybe it is higher dimensional aliens playing with us like we play with fish sometimes, just dropping things in the water and watching us get all excited

If UFOs are a common sight, then why have we not seen a good picture of them? Wtf is going on with all this hype over UFOs, when there's not a single image. Almost everybody nowadays has a camera

These days propaganda and lies spread by the government to cover up things they shouldn't do is also a common sight
