If someone were to record a flawless, 4K video of an actual alien walking around or a spaceship flying overhead, people would just think it’s a deep fake.

    The government is so powerful that they’ve even managed to downvote your comment exposing their evil ways! Incredible.

    At the same time, they’re too incompetent to keep sensitive war information out of the press, feed or teach their children and poor or even just agree on what to call a fucking bay. But scrubbing thousands of phones instantly, in these live streaming days, no biggie.

      When you find the footage let me know. I’m here to have a real discussion about it, not talk about conspiracy theories. Obviously, not everyone in government is intelligent.

        Just an idea, but maybe nothing actually happened? So nobody is sharing their videos, or they’re just not going viral because there is nothing to see… The truth is always more mundane than you want it to be…

        What’s more likely? A shadow government wiping thousands of videos without thousands of people being up in arms about it. If Gmail goes down for 15m, the whole world goes crazy. We’re taking about the phones of an entire district being instantly cleaned, livestreams shut down, cloud backups (including people backing up to homeservers) being wiped and all. Maybe even dumb cameras and instax pictures being destroyed.

        Or nothing but a random hoax of someone having fun?

        If you still find the shadow government more likely, there is no discussion to be had tbh…

          There were over 60 cop cars in the 1 video that exists from a helicopter. Something did happen. I never said anything about a “shadow government.”
