The UFO Phenomenon

Pentagon disinformation has been fueling UFO conspiracies for decades

A congressionally ordered probe has revealed instances of Pentagon officials spreading disinformation about UFOs.
The 'X-Files' taught us that 'the truth is out there', yet it seems as though much of the allegedly classified information that has been leaked from facilities such as Area 51 over the years has been deliberate placed into the public domain in an effort to mask actual government black projects from the public behind stories of UFOs and alien cover-ups.

This was the remarkable finding of a recent congressionally ordered probe that has uncovered decades of deliberate lies and falsehoods being perpetuated by government officials.

In one instance, an Air Force colonel reportedly 'leaked' photographs of flying saucers at a bar near Area 51 in Nevada in the hope of perpetuating the idea that alien spaceships were being kept there.

It turned out that the photographs were deliberate fakes.

His real agenda was to cover up the fact that the US was working on top-secret stealth fighters at the base by framing any sightings of strange objects in the region as evidence of alien visitors.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal investigation, this type of thing has been going on for decades, with the Pentagon deliberately fanning the flames of UFO conspiracies.

One has to wonder just how far this type of thing has spread over the years.

Just how many of the whistleblowers, government insiders and stories of leaked UFO secrets have been the result of Pentagon officials deliberately propagating a false UFO/alien narrative ?

What better way to hide evidence of the development of advanced aircraft from the Soviet Union but to convince the world that every strange thing in the sky is an alien spaceship ?

It is quite possible that this rabbit hole delves far deeper than we could have ever imagined.
