1. I would expect mental illness to be over-represented among the UFO cohort

2. At least 2 of the deaths in this list aren’t mysteries. Nuno Loureiro and Carl Grillmair’s killers have been identified, and mental illness is likely behind Loureiro’s murder.

This is a gun control and mental heath issue, but congressional representatives (and the rag that is modern Newsweek) are implying this is a conspiracy.

Seems like only two of the individuals were related in any way. I'm not convinced that 8 sudden deaths/disappearances is above the base rate for "people involved with aerospace?" That's a pretty big group, I'd imagine.

Hidden in the shadow of your incredulity thrives the greatest crisis of our humanity.

What do UFOs and the voices in our heads driving everyone insane have in common? Americas greatest conspiracy. We are not alone in our own minds and American Thought Control is waging a secret war among us.

People want to believe in conspiracies so badly. Anytime conspiracies come up on askreddit, it's always a bunch of things that have either already been solved or have obvious answers that don't involve needing some weird conspiracy to explain.

It is amazing how those who agree with each other confuse their reasons with reason and thoughts feelings and beliefs with an equality with truth.
