The best way to spot a conspiracy theory (in the pejorative sense) is that a lack of evidence and evidence against the theory are treated as affirmative.
Anything else is speculation, one way or another, and that won't lead to a broad consensus.
It just won't do anything. And it's really obvious that it won't do anything.
Could they be covering something up? I can't say it's impossible.
I'm just saying that between the tendency towards overclassification, the UFO stigma, and seemingly legimitate counterintel concerns, it doesn't seem like this refusal is evidence of a cover-up in and of itself.
They have always "admitted to the existence of" things they can't identify in some videos, blurry photographs, radar tracks, etc. UAP doesn't mean aliens, it just means "I can't tell what this is." Most of these UAPs turn out to be shit like commercial airliners far away on the horizon, and they remain "unidentified" because nobody cares enough to actually figure out what they are.
And you take this to be suggestive of aliens? Please!
It becomes far too trivial for someone to ignore a thousand points against and obsess over three points for, because it validates that pattern-seeking behaviour.
It’s why I don’t really hold any disdain for the conspiracy theorists: they’re functioning as nature intended.
The one conspiratorial belief I hold is that all animals are my friend and someone is trying to keep them away from me.
It loved her and came right up to her.
Possibly the Pet Set but I couldn't find the video all I could find was her feeding an alligator in Lake Placid (which I don't remember ever having watched).
Maybe I'm remembering everything wrong, but if not maybe someone else has that video or show in their back pocket and can help out.
and here is the best hippo video on the internet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5SSnQBtaq4
If this was in fact a coverup, the only reason it's worked so long (despite humans being unable to keep secrets) is due to two things:
1) the implausibility of the premise
2) the ridicule of the claimants
3) the compartmentalization of the information, and possibly
4) the threat of unknown agents
The thing is, the truth eventually always comes out. How do you think this is going to look, once it does?
Some of these individuals are connected to Lue Elizondo. Elizondo and the elders of the UFO Core Story team create “secret” groups and have been trying for 40-years to get their own UFO program. They intimidate anyone who challenges their narrative.
They first described it as the Secret Onion around 1988 in Jacques Vallee’s diaries. These are intelligence affiliated people and former “psychic spies” who are pawns of counterintelligence and victims of their own delusions and greed.
You can read below how Elizondo claimed to be a 33rd degree Freemason. They have groups like the Invisibles, the Cosmic Club and all these other fake elite scientist groups where they network.
There’s a Stanford professor who lies about “working with the CIA” when in reality, none of these people have security clearances. The professor works with an ex-CIA employee from 40-years ago on privately funded cases. They repeat rumors that ex-CIA or ex-DoD people repeat. These rumors, lies and sophisticated hoaxes originate from multiple unrelated sources.
There is definitely an illegal aspect and unknown actors involved in sophisticated hoaxes for decades. All of this related to war and geopolitical tactics but it is impossible to uncover because it is outside the government and obfuscated behind legitimate counterintelligence and the real national security risk of advance UAS.

In between there's a lot of material and references that won't be obvious to other people.
So I'm confused.
But I'm pretty sure they'll be just fine, as long as the reptilians continue suppressing the truth.*
* my understanding of why people get drawn into these nothing-burgers is you see new info, you think somethings around the corner where all those skeptics are proven wrong. years pass, and people either acknowledge it was a nothing burger or escalate claims to explain away why there's all these aliens bouncing around, everyone would want to hear that, Congress is demanding anyone who claims such be given a wide bearth and credence and yet....still nothing.
If you can't resist ridiculing people who are trying to maintain a respectful friendly conversation with you online, you are reinforcing their conviction that stigma and ridicule are preventing the subject from being studied earnestly.
Are you in the habit of sneering at people in other subjects as well?
I'm on the fence on this subject, finding both some merits and demerits to the arguments of both detractors and supporters of the NHI hypothesis. Until we have publicly available concrete data to analyze, all we are doing is speculating and slinging mud at each other.
The difference being that the proponents of the NHI hypothesis are all for obtaining and releasing such data, while the critics appear to be very comfortable with the status quo of secrecy.
