    Same with definitive proof of aliens now. You could have the craziest, most high definition UFO video of all time and it would either be denounced as AI-created, or people on social media will jump through insanely huge hoops in order to explain the phenomenon away.

    "Whats more unlikely? An actual UFO, or a satellite that fell through the atmosphere, got tangled in a giant kite string, and then soared around the skies reflecting the light of Venus at just such an angle that it projected nine other crafts? This is why it isn’t aliens. "

      Well, we have way more reliable sources that would also pick up an actual UFO and not just some blurry photo from some random campers

      r/ufo users when after months of deluding themselves they have to admit that mh370 was not kidnapped by us military alien collaboration by employing antigravity orbs that open a one way portal and they fell for a stock asset(actually aliens are real and this particular story being fake(and all the others) is just a fluke)

        r/ufo is on an whole other level. They sub is on par with r/conspiracy, where there appears to be no middleground between mildly skeptical and all-fucking-in.
