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.
If you dig into the fringes of UFO stuff, you'll inevitably end up with someone by the name of Dan Burisch. I'm paraphrasing, here, but he said something to the effect: "I never met any aliens. I have, however, met extra-terrestrials." What he meant by that was, the beings we call "aliens" are actually advanced humans from thousands of years in the future.
That's a common theory.
The other part of that theory is we're coming back to fix what we failed to notice happening to us. Ie the complete tyranny that encompassed the world. We have been coming back repeatedly trying to find the exact inflection point in order to prevent it.
