I'd also assume this is just a psyop, though more in the more general propaganda sense. You want other countries to both overestimate and underestimate you.
If other countries think there's a serious possibility that the US has alien technology then they'll be extra cautious. I doubt anyone buys it, personally.
But propaganda operations definitely have unintended consequences, I'd personally guess that experiments on the population's willingness to believe the government is at most a side effect. After all, there's wacky stuff like flat earth or refusing to believe in irrational numbers that has no meaningful international relations impact.
- mr_toad 3y agoWhat is it about the US that makes aliens always crash land there? It’s not even the biggest country by land area. And it’s only a small percentage of the total land area of earth. And while we’re at it, why do aliens always crash land where the number of witnesses is close to one? It almost makes you think that all these phenomena are observer dependent.
