Disinformation

Trouble is, almost everybody in the UFO game peddles massive disinformation for their own ends:

* Fools who believe unreservedly what their eyes and dreams appear to tell them.

* Pranksters who fake up encounters for the fun of it.

* Con artists who make a rich living as a professional ufologist.

* War/spy plane developers who want a distracting cover story to give plausible deniability for their own airspace.

* Spy plane operators who want a distracting cover story to give plausible deniability for enemy airspace.

* Paranoid and/or gullible nutters who believe all that shit, just because they can.

I have met all but the operators.

The one thing clear to me is that the aliens are past masters at distracting cover stories and created all of the above. But don't think they actually get off their arses and fly here, they just beam it all into our heads for the lulz. Uh, wait, those last two sentences...
