It's real.<br><br>Now imagine how you would go about proving that cows </span><b><span>don't</span></b><span> exist. Think about it for a little while.<br><br>Sean Kirkpatrick, Director of the Defense Department’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), just retired. And he has things to say about how much money is spent on "UFO" research programs that are basically </span><b><span>created</span></b><span> by </span><a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/UFO" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UFO</a><span> cultists and conspiracy theorists working for the US government itself.

And let's start by ditching the stupid term "UFO", Unidentified Flying Object. Hear me out on this: UFOs are </span><b><span>boring</span></b><span>. </span><b><span>ANYTHING</span></b><span> you see flying is unidentified, until you identify it and know what it is. And if you're really bad at identifying things, anything flying can be a "UFO". A bird. Venus. An inflated garbage bag. The ISS.<br><br>Flying objects, or aerial phenomena, don't become interesting until you can identify them. And, bear with me here for a moment: The US government would </span><b><span>absolutely love</span></b><span> to </span><b><span>identify</span></b><span> actual alien technology. Seriously. Can you </span><i><span>imagine</span></i><span> the edge that would give us? And that's why the government has been looking so hard, for so long, at </span><a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/anomalous" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#anomalous</a><span> </span><a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/aerial" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aerial</a><span> </span><a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/phenomena" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#phenomena</a><span>. Since the 1950s.<br><br>And all of that searching has found </span><b><span>nothing</span></b><span> that can be identified as alien technology, or a flying vehicle of non-terrestrial origin. 1950s missile casings ... parachutes ... weather-observation satellites ... skeletons of animals launched into space for research purposes. And a host of other things. But not one single piece of alien technology.<br><br>But ... you remember what I said about proving a negative?<br><br>Well, here's how it works when you're a UFO cultist. You search and search for evidence that "UFOs" are real. And if you find evidence, </span><b><span>you WIN!!!</span></b><span> You've just proved that UFOs are real!<br><br>But if you </span><b><span>DON'T</span></b><span> find anything, you </span><b><span>ALSO</span></b><span> win. Because in your mind, the fact that you </span><b><span>couldn't</span></b><span> find anything </span><b><span>proves that there is a government </span><a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/coverup" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#coverup</a><span>.</span></b><span> It's the only possible explanation. If there was no cover-up, you would have </span><i><span>found</span></i><span> something. And the government cover-up means there </span><b><span>must be</span></b><span> something to </span><i><span>hide</span></i><span>, which — </span><b><span>AGAIN</span></b><span> — "proves" that UFOs are real.<br>Either way, you "win". In your own mind.<br><br>This is the cultist/conspiracy-theorist mentality. If you are certain that something must exist, but you cannot find any evidence of it no matter how you search, </span><b><span>this proves that it exists </span><i><span>AND</span></i><span> that there is a government cover-up.</span></b><span> It's circular logic. Delusional, magical thinking.<br><br><br>You see how this works...?</span></p>
