    The CIA has actively tried to discredit and disprove the UFO phenomenon since the beginning, because they thought reports of UFOs would clog up actual reporting channels in an emergency situation. IMO Ufos totally exist, I don't know what they are, and I doubt the government does either which is part of why most of the military has plugged it's ears and went "lalala i can't see you" for decades. Don't wanna admit there's something they can't theoretically deal with. Of course, for some reason the Navy has started caring recently, so who knows.

      I remember reading about a UFO researcher who had a mental breakdown after getting fed disinformation, do you know who that was?

        Paul Bennewitz is who you're talking about, I believe. And there have been a few more researchers who got fed disinfo and promptly started believing every ridiculous story and hoaxed photograph they saw, too.

            There’s a decent documentary on this if you’re interested in the topic. Pretty wild stuff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage_Men
