A distraction most likely. But listen to how..."odd" wording is being used.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhFLLXAkEZQ This is your average run of the mill small-market local news show talking head. At the end she is sure to mention "Defense officials have said there is no indication of ALIENS with these recent takedowns in Washington."

So bizarre to hear that.

Yet, the title of the video is US shoots down 4 UFOs, military officials won't rule out aliens.

Soooo...I guess no indication of aliens, but "officials" won't rule it out at the same time? Huh?

And here.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSa8hBmltnA A point was made to include that Aliens Weren’t Behind Most Recent Flying Objects, White House Says.

I can't think they are saying all of this for no reason.
