    Well - didn’t he try? If I am not wrong - the latest string of UFO / UAP reports started during the Trump presidency. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump was the one who asked the Pentagon to “show the people the aliens” - in hopes that it will change the nations focus from his own mental or moral disabilities. And the Pentagon has obliged - and showed people the aliens in all their glory. 👽

    The result is that now we know much more about various optical illusions that happen in military binoculars, telescopes and such - than we did ever before.

      Wait, so you’re attributing things that were seen on scanners and with the naked eye of military pilots were optical illusions? Has this been confirmed with any credibility? Or are you using your “common sense”

        Well - the videos don’t look very persuasive to me, I am not an expert though. But judging from the same wikipedia article experts weren’t impressed either… I mean even Pentagon itself comments that

        “UAP probably lack a single explanation”, and proposed five possible categories of explanation: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, US government or industry development technology, foreign craft, and an “Other” category

        When you say aliens - I am thinking something like the “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” - and all I got was learning about bokeh and paralax 😇
