How could my client have “blown Bubba” in a vacuum, your honor?
Government of what? Which government?
Gov, Inc.
Sorry. The topically stupid one
The Government™
Hmmm… 🤔
Your banana republic regime then ?
“The government”
the one IANA regards as THE “government”
idiot country. A few years ago I needed many more words to describe it. These days this suffices
We (the US) really are a shithole country.
What annoys me is that all he basically said was that he believes in the Drake Equation. Not that we have encountered aliens or have definite proof of their existence; just that with how big the universe is and how much diverse life exists on this one rock, there’s no way there isn’t life elsewhere on other rocks somewhere.
But we don’t know all the variables for the Drake equation! It’s still possible that we’re alone in the observable universe.
At this point a real alien could come down the sky and people wouldn’t give a fuck. Hard to care about aliens when you are homeless and starving
I think I can assume from here that there aren’t any aliens, because they would NOT be touching this for a cheap distraction if there was anything of note to see.
Oh i don’t doubt its aliens, just… microbial. Literally nothing major to speak of, single celled organisms.
That would be a humongous world-changing announcement in a sane timeline. Half the people in our stupid culture wouldn’t even register it as a blip though.
In situations like this I like to think of the history students a thousand years from now, assuming the earth is still habitable, etc.
"So humanity’s first public recognition of extraterrestrial life only happened when it did to distract from the fact that the Big Country at the time had reelected the planet’s worst person AGAIN and they needed to delay justice until they died for… let me double check the text… they needed to delay getting in trouble for being at the top of a global human trafficking and rape operation?
And I am supposed to believe these people had running water, airplanes, internet, and space programs? They lied about every other damn thing!"
Why would they classify that information if its just microbial? The motivation for classification is clear if the aliens are flying around in UFOs (so they can reverse engineer their tech without adversaries of the US finding out) but there is no realistic motivation for why they might classify microbial life
Life of any kind on other worlds would upend lots of religious doctrine which insists that this place is special and that life was specifically put here for us.
But then again that assumes that these religions are logically consistent, so it probably wouldn’t matter.
Yeah. If they classify microbial life because it conflicts with religious dogma then you’d expect them to classify any scientific finding that conflicts with religious dogma, which doesn’t seem to be the case.
Information being classified doesn’t mean much, people classify all kinds of dumb shit to the point that training had to be implemented to prevent OVER-classification
Right. But in this particular case it doesn’t make sense. If microbial life were found on, say, Mars then that would be a discovery by NASA, which is a civilian agency. As far as I’m aware you don’t need a security clearance to work at a civilian agency.
On the other hand if the US found some unknown craft flying in their sky that would immediately become a military matter and so be classified by default
That’s still infinitely more extraterrestrial life than we have proof of today

Yeah this is devastating news for UFO enthusiasts. Even the craziest alien conspiracist probably understands when Trump is wriggling like an eel
You know what? I want to believe. But if it comes out of this adminstration, I won’t. It’s the perfect cover.
there’s they fact the us government is a lying piece of garbage.
The only way I’m gonna believe is if greys land in DC, enter the White House, and drag Trump away for intergalactic trial because he also molested one of their minors.
…too late, i win…
Wasn’t there some press conference under Bush where they walked out an alien, which was just some guy in a costume?
the owls are not what they seem (it’s totally owls)
