    I feel like it's far more probable that intelligence agencies propogate extraterrestrial theories to deflect from advanced military testing and other covert shit. I think a lot of the most prominent people spreading those theories, at least back in the 80s/90s had intelligence connections. I swear I read this somewhere and it seemed likely but I can't fucking remember anything about the sources so it's just speculation.

      There is some of that. The CIA did push false UFO stories in the mid-50's when they were first testing the U-2 spy plane. I am sure there are other examples too.

      I'm talking about unexplained UFO phenomenon.
