- dankwizard 6mo agoGood to see some actual acknowledge from the beings living amongst us. The constant denying is getting frustrating.
- td2 6mo agoDo you actually believe that? And if yes, why? Just curious
- wildzzz 6mo agoAs much as I love UFOs and ETs, I feel like there's more important things to work on than releasing a bunch of useless reports.
- margalabargala 6mo agoFor you maybe, but it's not hard to see why this is a top government priority. Many people very into UFOs were also being louder than convenient about the Epstein files. It's a domestic distraction, not unlike the Iran war. If people are talking about maybe-aliens that's a conversation that isn't about the president raping children.
- cj 6mo agoI think your comment hit all the main rage bait keywords: UFOs, aliens, Epstein, Iran, Trump, sexual abuse
- micromacrofoot 6mo agothey're not wrong though
- cj 6mo agoI would actually be impressed with the administration if they strategically decided to use aliens as a PR move specifically to distract from the topics listed. IMO the “why” is far simpler, not a complicated ploy to distract people’s attention.
- DANmode 6mo agoThe last 6 months has been nothing but distraction lever-pulls away from the Epstein Files, and strategy is easily outsourced to others.
- micromacrofoot 6mo agoit's not complicated they're just flailing around, why do you think we're in a completely ineffective war with iran that has opposed pretty much all strategic advice if the press is leaning towards a bad story, they release some other thing... they've been doing it all year
- cj 6mo ago> why do you think we're in a completely ineffective war with iran I don't know, but I do know it's not because of epstein. I still have a smidge of faith in humanity. Maybe I shouldn't.
- margalabargala 6mo agoOh definitely not. I didn't mention Israel/Palestine once.
- wileydragonfly 6mo agoThe UFO people are telling me it’s Cuba next and then revelation of alien technology recovery from a crash site. Vamos a ver…
- johnea 6mo agoAnd while raping children is a very serious offense, it's not nearly as bad as the administration's other practice of incinerating and dismembering them hundreds at a time...

- an0malous 6mo agoThat’s tautological if you presume they’re useless. (But they probably will be)
- vehemenz 6mo agoIt’s not that much of a presumption if we already know that UFOs aren’t aliens.
- kazishariar 6mo agoHrmmph, interdimensional beings? Nice angle! I must say-
- artursapek 6mo agohow tf do you know they’re useless
- deleted 6mo ago[deleted]
- an0malous 6mo agoThere’s a rumor Trump’s minting a new coin for UFO disclosure
- ksniwmidjd 6mo ago[dead]
- jandrese 6mo agoHe just executed a rug pull on his last coin so I guess it is time to start hunting for some new bag holders.
- jesse_dot_id 6mo agoWhy would they disclose anything of substance with regards to aliens? Their constituency is religious.
- motohagiography 6mo agotransparency on the UFO issue removes a pillar and gateway to conspiracy thinking, and it will restore some much needed trust in the state as a set of institutions. the benefits of signalling the government is in it with its people on this issue creates a renewed sense of shared stake. imo ufo disclosure is probably the most important thing a democratic government could do right now, and one of the few things it could actually succeed at.
- ameliaquining 6mo agoIn the likely event that whatever gets disclosed turns out to be nothing, do you think that's going to satisfy anyone who currently thinks the government's covering up aliens?
- jerf 6mo agoOne way or another, they've been lying to us for decades now. It pretty much breaks down into, either they know about aliens and they've been aggressively lying about it for decades, or there is no evidence of aliens, in which case they have almost certainly had a hand in creating the news and foisting it on the world. Somebody is making all those faked videos and photos. One can try to craft scenarios that try to split between those two branches, but I haven't come up with anything very credible. For instance, it is just faintly possible that this whole thing is one gigantic ten-thousand-way misunderstanding, but even then I find it hard to believe nobody in any position to get to the bottom of such a thing did and then did something sensible with the result. At this point I pretty much won't believe anything they say, in any direction. No matter what the truth may be, "they", for all suitable values of "they", have burnt all their credibility already. No matter what the truth is, "they" have clearly been throwing up vast quantities of smoke for decades now. I say this without much opinion on what the truth is, because this is independent of any particular person's beliefs on the matter. Nor do I have strong opinions on who "they" is; yes, I'm using it as a pronoun without a referent, but at least I'm doing so knowingly. I don't know who exactly is doing this and "they" is just the grammatically-correct way to express that in English. No matter what you believe and no matter what the truth actually is, I think this is a fair assessment.
- deadbabe 6mo agoI think at best we will find very distant evidence of advanced alien life: Inspiring, but so far away and unreachable that we’ll never meet or communicate with them in any way. Don’t know what’s worse: wondering if there is alien life or knowing there is alien life in a distant system somewhere but having no further information that can be learned about them.
- micromacrofoot 6mo agowe can all but assume it does exist, the odds support it heavily... it would be astounding if we were the only ones but still the distances of both time and space are insurmountable
- wileydragonfly 6mo agoWhat odds? We have an n of 1.
- td2 6mo agoThe odds of water, being just at the right distance to the sun, etc i guess Sure we dont know the chance of life emerging, the symbiotic relationship that provides power for cells, chance of multicells etc.
- micromacrofoot 6mo agotrue! we can't measure exactly... but we're talking trillions of possibilities, at that volume something happening by mistake only once is unlikely
- jandrese 6mo agoOr the implication that FTL and interstellar travel is either outright impossible or completely impractical. We are trapped alone in our otherwise unexceptional solar system forever, or until there is a catastrophe so large as to kill us off as a species.
- userbinator 6mo agoIt wouldn't surprise me if they started using that site for information about terrestrial aliens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(law) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(law)
- dwd 6mo agoI just get an SSL warning, that the site's certificate is only valid for *.go-vip.co.
- dgrin91 6mo agoIf you continue through the warning you get a standard wordpress error about multisites.
- deleted 6mo ago[deleted]
- hackerbeat 6mo agoThe aliens can update those plugins.
- micah94 6mo agoAll of us hitting that site before it's ready are going right into that other group of files...
- johnea 6mo agoaliens.gov uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.go-vip.co, go-vip.co Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
- fuckinpuppers 6mo agoIt’s absolutely crazy they’re not even self hosting on approved infrastructure, it looks like, based on that cert error. But sounds normal for this joke of an admin. The government uses drupal a lot, not surprised to see them use WP, however I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t administer it well
