      A culture that stigmatizes intelligence, mainly. “My lazy ignorance is just as good as your hard-earned knowledge.”

        I would encourage you to look into a recent documentary about the congressional testimony from numerous high ranking intelligence officers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Disclosure

        tl;dr Of the claims they make in the documentary, the biggest thing (to me) appears to be a massive siphoning of tax dollars into black ops programs that don’t report up through the government. Whether there are actual UFO/UAP programs is up to debate.

        It’s mostly because of a highly credible and stable intelligence officer

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Grusch_UFO_whistleblower_claims

        Essentially he was tasked with finding where funds are going and it led him to a rabbit hole of black programs

        Keep in mind this doesn’t mean any of the implications of the programs are true, but the programs do exist, whether their purpose is legitimate or not is the question

      The confirmed, filmed sightings of UAP doing things we understand to by physically impossible are behind it yes. I refer you to the US Air Force, and their publicly released footage.

      My guess, and it’s a left field one, holograms.

        My guess is that people’s intuitive interpretation of unfamiliar phenomena can be massively wrong.
