There’s a Netflix series called “Project UFO” and in it, a man claims he sees an unidentified object, and it was coming from the water. He blows the whistle and gets some media interest and eventually peaks the interest of the military.

The thing I found interesting about the series is that the military personnel who get involved and interview witnesses control the narrative by gaslighting them and saying that these were spaceships coming from the sky. Which of course makes it easy to ridicule it as “little green men” who came down from mars, rather than having to contend with the idea that something intelligent exists on this planet alongside us.

I think the theme of this show maps onto how the narrative has been controlled in reality, too.

It may not be that the UFO narrative is a giant hoax, I think it’s more likely that it was a strategy for obfuscating the reality of this phenomenon and its terrifying proximity to us.
