I watched a lot of X-Files as a teenager. My best friend had a big crush on David Duchovny, and we would watch episode after episode with Mulder and Scully investigating mysterious situations, usually involving aliens.
But we knew it was silly. Nobody really believed in aliens, right? It was just crazy people in the desert that thought UFOs were real. Or people giving fuzzy photos to the National Enquirer. Nobody respectable talked about aliens.
How times have changed.
On May 1, a Las Vegas family called the police to say that an alien spacecraft landed in their yard and eight-foot-tall creatures emerged that were definitely not human. Local police found the family credible enough to install cameras this past week in case the aliens came back.
Just this week, a New York man provided footage of an alien encounter in his backyard.
These reports with supposedly alien footage have gotten a lot of publicity.
Individuals have been reporting unusual phenomena for years, but they were always dismissed as rubes, or drunks, or conspiracy theorists. But perhaps the people involved in these more recent sightings have been taken more seriously because of the recent change in tone we’ve seen from not only legacy media outlets like the New York Times but also respected government agencies like NASA.
Sightings are no longer the realm of the “crazy.”
In 2017, the New York Times reported that the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was supposed to have ended in 2012. However, after receiving bizarre footage taken by Naval pilots of unidentifiable objects maneuvering in ways they had never seen before, the Navy admitted that the program investigating these kinds of incidents was still operating.
Over the past six years, stories have been slowly dribbling out about various unexplained phenomena. “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,” or UAP, is the preferred term now, rather than UFO. In late 2019 and early 2020, a series of strange drone sightings occurred across Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. One of my children and I personally witnessed a bizarre string containing hundreds of lights, not airplanes, moving across the sky. I knew other people who had witnessed these, as well. These sightings were extensive and never satisfactorily explained.
Suddenly, it’s official.
While sightings such as these remain mysterious, the government has slowly been taking more interest. On May 17, 2022, the House Intelligence C3 Subcommittee hosted a hearing on UAP, the first in fifty years, some of which were open to the public and posted on YouTube.
In June 2022, NASA announced that they were commissioning a study team to investigate UAPs, and it’s filled with renowned scientists. The team is headed by astrophysicist David Spergel, former department chair for astrophysics at Princeton. They began a study on October 24, 2022 investigating the best ways to collect and then analyze data regarding UAPs, and expect to publish their study sometime this July.
The Department of Defense has been taking a closer look, too. In August 2020, the Under Secretary of Defense authorized the creation of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force. The DoD formed this Task Force to improve understanding of UAPs, particularly any that could affect national security.
Some of this seems pretty reasonable. We should probably know what our commercial airplanes and satellites are likely to encounter as they travel through the sky.
But wait a second…
However, some people think there might be more to this than pure research. One member of the UAP Task Force, David Grusch, began providing classified information to the Department of Defense Inspector General in 2021. He claimed that information regarding UAPs was being illegally withheld from Congress, who were unaware of where funding was going, and the level of technology that had been hidden. These leaks were reported in The Debrief on June 5.
David Grusch is no quack. He was a decorated combat officer in Afghanistan who moved through various government agencies before becoming the co-lead for UAP analysis. Likewise, the initial reporters at The Debrief, Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, have worked extensively for legacy media outlets. The Debrief is not Weekly World News.
And yet, some of what Grusch reported on in his News Nation interview sounded totally bizarre. He described the UAP being denied access to military programs that had recovered technical vehicles of “non-human origin” from crash sites. Grusch hasn’t provided photographs or documents backing up his claims, but a variety of people from the government, military, and legacy media seem to think he’s totally legitimate.
What’s really going on here?
So, what’s going on? Is the federal government about to finally reveal what they’ve been hiding since the 1940s about different crash landing sites?
I suspect not. I watched a few of Grusch’s interviews, and he did not strike me as particularly honest. Admittedly my opinion doesn’t mean much. But professional psychiatrist, body-language expert, and YouTuber Dr. G posted an interesting analysis of Grusch’s behavior during his interview here that quantified much of the distrust I sensed in watching Grusch’s interviews. Grusch may be telling the truth, and Dr. G never accuses him of lying, but he does say that Grusch exhibits many signs of extreme stress throughout the interview.
I don’t want to say that Grusch is an outright liar. But he’s not the only whistleblower. Love him or hate him, time has proven Edward Snowden’s claims about mass government surveillance correct. And he has had thoughts on UAPs, as well. After digging through government files for years, Snowden is convinced that there is no real proof that the U.S. government has been covering up evidence of UAPs.
Of course, I have no hard evidence either way, but I suspect that these news releases are an attempt to distract the general public.
Distract from what, you might ask?
There’s a whole list of things.
Daisy just wrote an article about the very real structural problems in our economy that most people seem to want to ignore.
Similarly, most people are aware that undocumented migrants have been entering the U.S. at record levels. But did you know that our southern border is so porous that migrants now are not simply Mexicans traveling a few hundred miles north; they consist of people pouring in from all over the world?
Who destroyed Nordstream, creating one of the world’s biggest environmental catastrophes and seriously damaging the European economy? Sy Hersh says the Americans did it. The American legacy media blames the Ukrainians. At the end of the day, establishment figures just want this question to go away.
Did you know we’re about to hand over huge powers to the World Health Organization? If this new pandemic treaty gets passed in 2024, and it looks like it will, WHO bureaucrats will be able to declare lockdowns anywhere they want. Oh, and they’ll be taking 5% of our healthcare budget, too.
The efforts being made to put former President Trump behind bars have reached banana republic-levels of ridiculousness, particularly when contrasted with the Clintons’ various indiscretions or the Biden family crime syndicate. This situation gets harder to stomach the more you think about it. Mainstream media’s solution? Don’t think about it! Look, aliens!
And we just found out that the Chinese are in advanced negotiations with the Cuban government, getting ready to build a military training facility 100 miles from Florida. Nothing’s finalized yet, but I can’t pretend it doesn’t make me a little nervous.
And of course, there’s Hunter Biden’s sweetheart-no-jail-time-deal for not paying taxes on $8.3 million in income and federal gun charges. As well, did you know that articles of impeachment were filed against President Biden? (Of course it’s being played off as a far-right conspiracy.)
There are probably things out there but…
I absolutely believe that there are objects in the atmosphere, space, or in the deep ocean that we don’t really understand. But do I think the U.S. is about to reveal a bunch of 80-year-old secrets? Color me skeptical. I think it’s far more likely that this is part of the “circus” in the “bread and circuses” phase in the cultural evolution of the American public.
But I could be wrong!
What do you think? Do you believe there are aliens and extraterrestrial UFOs? Is there a big alien reveal coming? A looming invasion? More sightings than before? Or is this all just a big distraction from the massive corruption or our government and the devolution of our country?
Let us know what you think in the comments section.
About Marie Hawthorne
A lover of novels and cultivator of superb apple pie recipes, Marie spends her free time writing about the world around her.
Thank you for putting “meat and bones” to my gut-level feelings about all this alien hype.
Gets better.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting, “A top secret military acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard what the U.S. Navy suspected was the Titan submersible implosion hours after the submersible began its voyage,” and that “the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday.”
“While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.”
So, in short they held on to that information from practically the very beginning. Let the media keep up the “running out of oxygen” hype, while there are all kinds of other things going on.
And not just the sweetheart deal Hunter Biden got that would of landed any of us in prison.
The UN released a report titled, “A Global Digital Compact.” In it, it ties a digital ID to bank accounts or other forms of mobile payment. Environmental or social credit system. Countering online misinformation, disinformation and harm. Of course who gets to decide what is misinformation, disinformation and harm is the question.
The University of Colorado recently declared that misgendering is a “act of violence.”
Meanwhile, in the UK, there are some students in school who are identifying as cats, horses, dinosaurs, and even one who identifies as a “moon.” One student has been identifying as a cat for THREE YEARS! When asked a question by the teacher, the student replies “meow.”
De-dollarization continues and appears to be gaining steam. BRICS+ is seeing increased interest and are expected to announce their own gold backed currency. As a result, the IMF is pushing for a CBDC to be adopted and soon. The uni-polar US/West lead world is slowly imploding and it appears they are getting desperate about it as the geo-political landscape shifts to a multi-polar world.
Have you seen how well Bobby Kennedy’s polling numbers are? Have you seen how poorly Joe Biden’s polling numbers are?
What about the economy? MSM would have you believe every thing is just peachy. It is not. The Home Househould survey shows record numbers of Americas working two jobs to make ends meet. Another survey showed Americas take home pay is falling below what would be considered to be keeping their financial heads above water. Inflation, the cost of living, is outstripping their earnings. Seen more and more economists and banks saying we will see a recession starting in 3rd QT or 4th QT.
But look! Aliens! And “they are running out of oxygen!”
You summed things up perfectly.
But wait! There is more!
Teachers union boss, Randi Weingarten, has been given a position on the Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council.
That is right! The same woman who fought and kept schools closed during the lockdowns and then tried to rewrite history that she did no such thing is getting rewarded by the Biden administration.
Fed chairman Powell announced this past Wednesday there will be more rate hikes in the future! Nothing better than adding more economic pain! But hey! Nothing slays inflation like rate hikes or even better, a recession! So what is a few hundred thousands or millions out of a job?
Speaking of jobs and in sports, ESPN canned one of their programs and are expecting a round of layoffs.
Speaking of sports, former college swimmer Riley Gaines and women’s rights activist owned Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill posterior end with this comment, “You had mentioned that, what message does it send to trans individuals? And my comeback to that is, what message does this send to women, to young girls, who are denied of these opportunities? … So easily, their rights to privacy and safety [are] thrown out of the window to protect a small population, protect one group as long as they’re happy.”
Getwisdom.com explains it all. Aliens are real but they are not going to help us…..please check out the site and get the real story!
I checked the website. It is, in effect, full of New Age nonsense and occultism. Best it be avoided.
Alien invasion. If there is one, it will probably be halographic made to look real. The oligarchs that rule the world have advanced technology that is over 100 years ahead of what the people of the world are aware of. They already know how easy it is to fool people to believe and act upon whatever agenda they want to push.
Yes.
“…look! Aliens!…” is hype, distraction bull-hockey, just designed to take the minds of the dumbed-down, and make them ‘dumber-downed’. Biden’s string-pullers aren’t dumbies, after all – they are where they are.
All the military strengthening around larger cities, and train-carloads of military equipment, including concertina wire, is just getting ready for the public rioting when they close the banks and ruin our ability to purchase necessities of life.
They’re either preparing for that, or “…. run! The sky is falling!!….”
Be blessed. Look up! Your redemption draweth nigh!
Old Duffer
Remember back when….Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.
And things are NO always as they seem !!! And it’s better to be safe than sorry… What about Seeing is believing… What about if you don’t own it, it’s NOT yours????? And actions are louder than words… Ahhhh… Carry on and prep… Get out of the cities (they will turn into war zones)…
They are preparing the world to accept the Rapture was a result of a mass alien abduction. They are being guided by Satan, as he knows the future and world governments will need an explanation (besides the Biblical one) to convince the masses they must give up their rights and form a one world government to protect them from another abduction. And they will do it.
That is IF there is a Rapture. Frankly, it just seems to be another heresy clouding up minds and much worse. No doubt the New World Order nuts in DC and elsewhere will take advantage of such a heresy to make things worse for the general public.
YES a hearsay it is. The Rapture theory is FAKE. As phony as a 3 dollar bill…According to the scriptures JESUS will appear in the clouds of heaven with His host/multitude of heavenly angels and the angels will go all over the world and call up the dead souls… The dead were actually “sleeping”. They were waiting to be called up. All of the saved will RISE UP. They[ore not coming down but will be rising up to meet the LORD in the air. Then the ones that are alive and remain will then also be called up. Together all of them will be with the LORD. That is known truthfully as the Second Coming Of CHRIST. and it’s the Great Calling at the same time… He will call ALL of them UP from their graves. This has NOTHING whatsoever to do with a group of Aliens. How stupid!!! Yeah, know that some still say the earth is flat. Sure it’s flat sure it is will purple aliens too, correct??????
I had no idea which end times theory was right. All seem to have flaws and places where they stretch scripture to fit their preferred view.
Then I really dug into Revelations(bible alone, no human teachers) trying to leave all pre-conceived notions aside, which wasn’t hard because I didn’t believe any of them. Surprise, surprise. I found the rapture before any of the “big stuff” gets rolling.
Ahhhh, didn’t I hear those that do are called “sheeple”? They are dumbed down are they not? Can we actually fix stupid? Humm, what about them being programmed or controlled? Yeah, all of the above!
“SQUIRREL!!!!” I have no doubt that there are other living beings in the universe, don’t know if they’ve been here, I’d advise them to stay clear for a while. But be prepared for a blue beam “invasion” any time soon.
Steve Quayle website (6/24/23) had a rather interesting article (w/video) about a classic UFO design being seen by many in Middletown, OH. I, for one, think it was the real thing as it resembles one I, my family and thousands of others, saw over Republic Airfield in the1960s when I was but a child. While these may be literally shiny objects to look at, it may actually be cooperatively staged by the Deepstate and some of Them from out there. Greys, I would suspect, who I believe are machine controlled, programable, synthetic, biological entities, used as we do with things like sending robots to Mars, or elsewhere.
There is a coordinated effort to prepare average joe consciousness to the ET existance.
TV shows, movies, animation movies for children. CIA UFO footages.
Check out my articles on the matter.

I completely agree that it looks all like a distraction, and like you say, there are plenty of things to get distracted from, but my bet would be that the big one is the structural problems in the economy.
Also, have you noticed that UFOs are a great thing to get people distracted from growing their own food in their garden? Look up, could that be a UFO? But we could turn that around. Is your neighbour with no vegetable garden into UFOs? Tell them the white lie that there have been some interesting sightings in your garden. Maybe you could get them interested in the vegetable growing part…
I was uncertain if UFOs were real. But in May of 2020, I saw 2 classic discs in Orlando evening sky. They were around 50’+ in diameter and 1/4 of a mile away, just hovering quietly, looking like they were “parked” in the sky with no movement. When this happened, I was outside after midnight taking a walk, I was talking with a friend on my cell phone when it occurred, I don’t drink or do drugs. After my experience, I have shared this experience with some family and friends who have also seen UFOs. To my surprise, I have met several other people who have seen UFOs.
