Apologies for sounding like some mad conspiracy theorist, but do the powers that be, believe that society is now capable of accepting the news that they have been in contact with extra terrestrials for decades?
If I had to wager, I'd say its a case of "look over hear you stupid monkeys" while some folks loot as much as they can while the Titanic sinks.
I cannot imagine the government (whether elected or background puppet masters) telling us anything they don't want us to know.
That one video released by Corbell with the triangles has a pretty mundane explanation and based on our level of tech, I'd expect better videos if they were sincere.
They can apparently read our license plates from space but they can't get a crisp picture of a UFO from a billion dollar jet or ship?
Put your tinfoil had on and look up Project Bluebeam on Rumble when you're got time (and brain cells) to kill.
Smart tactic.
Like a bank robbery crew setting fire to an abandoned building on one side of town to divert the police and authoritie's attention from the job on the other side of town.
There are two main "conspiracy theories" about that, and they are completely different:
1. The government has been in contact with, or has at least known about, aliens for many decades and has been hiding it from the public.
2. There are no aliens but the government is planning to fake an alien invasion using e.g., holograms ("Project Blue Beam"), genetically-engineered humans, with the goal being to use the alien threat as justification for ushering in a one-world government. They use quotes from Ronald Reagan and an alleged quote from Wernher Von Braun as told by his assistant Dr. Carol Rosin (and of course, Serge Monast, who came up with the Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory) to support this.
I don't know, but that stuff all predates that movie by years and decades. Wernher Von Braun died in 1977; President Ronald Reagan's quote ("I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.") was from the 1980s, and Serge Monast's Project Blue Beam theory was from the mid 1990s.
As far as being in contact with extra terrestrial life, I'm neither here nor there with believing it. However, I totally believe there is extra terrestrial life in our universe. It's so massive that we might never know there are others out there.
I think it suits TPTB to stoke public interest in UFOs. It lets them get on with whatever genuine shady stuff they want to. And they know all they have to do is keep denying their existence. The more they deny, the more the tinfoil hat brigade will believe it's true. Take Area 51. If crashed saucers/alien carcasses are being stored anywhere, and reverse-engineered saucer tech is being tested on stealth aircraft, it's not going to be happening at a place that every alien-conspiracy nutjob in the world is watching like a hawk! It'll all be many, many miles away.
FTR, I do believe there is intelligent life somewhere out there. Just no so sure they've been here.
James Fox, the creator of this documentary, was a die-hard scoffer, unbeliever of the story for years after first hearing about it, until he actually started digging deeper into it. I had actually never even heard of the incident until last year when I watched it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE7hVSlk7Zw It's definitely interesting, whatever your stance on the subject.
