It’s getting a bit late to associate UFOs with idiots, honestly. Both the government and NASA have frontally admitted that there are things flying around that we can’t identify. The US just shot down 3 unidentified objects with F22’s a few months ago (and no, they were not balloons like the one everyone saw pictures of - no pictures were release of these other objects). Congress is moving forwards with new legislation to force disclosure of secret special access programs related to UFOs, after Grusch’s claims, and there will be public hearings soon.
I know the subject has been ridiculed for decades, but no one in congress who has clearance and has been briefed is laughing about it now.
