I'm curious how you came to the conclusion that "all the aliens disappeared" for that period of time. Is there a database of sightings that shows a dip then?

- sennight 4y agoI'm sure there is some tortured soul who has compiled such a dataset, but you'll have an easier time verifying my claim by looking at the timeline of US military involvement in domestic news articles. You'll notice the military's absence in the narrative (beyond passive object of suspicion) in roughly the stretch between Carter and Obama. I say roughly because the protections against domestic disinformation campaigns was a collection of executive orders and policies that were sunset, or otherwise reversed, in an unorganized manner - meaning that some methods became permissible before others, and some people were slower to rediscover (or just flat out opposed to) the old bag of tricks return.
