I posted this on another thread but I had no response so I am posting it here to see if I get any responses, just curious if you think this is possible or have I really lost my mind. could go either way.

Ok I have been sitting here watching these UFO documentaries that just seem to have flooded into the main stream media, and I had a thought, that is scary I know, but just hear me out. UFO's started being sited really heavy back in 1947 with a U.S. military pilot Kenneth Arnold, and he described more of a bat like structure, but the media fell in love with the way he described them flying like saucers and boom, we have flying saucers, ok I will buy that ,but why after that did people start seeing flying saucers and not the bat like objects that Kenneth Arnold saw? Here is where I go nuts, what if the foo fighters we were seeing in the war were in fact an optical illusion that the Germans created to scare off our fighters, but our boys were so well trained they didn’t flinch and it didn’t really work for them. The Germans loved playing head games especially under Hitler. Now we grabbed there best scientists and the majority of that technology during the war, maybe even learned how they did the foo fighter trick, what do you do with it, play head games. If you can make the world think you have extra terrestrial technology that you are reverse engineering, that is a hell of a deterrent. Make an enemy think twice about messing with you. How do you use this technology well you give the people what they want. If you want people to think UFO's are real no better way than to show them some, of course it is just an optical illusion, they want saucers show them saucers, if you can do it. Now at first that was fine but as time went on the shows got more elaborate. Remember you want the world to think you have extra terrestrial technology so you just make it look like you are covering something up, which you are, but not what everyone thinks you are, that makes it easier to hide. Everyone is looking for UFO's not high tech optical equipment designed to project images that look like UFO's. I don’t know just a thought tell me what ya think.

I think there are more than enough things in the sky that people can't identify without postulating yet more. I also think that just because something is unidentified does not mean that it is actually anything out of the ordinary.

Oh come on guys you can do better than that, I really think this is a possibility and it would explain so much.
