Title says it all. I see a lot of chatter, but what’s going on?

    The conspiracy bullshitters also tend to find links between sightings that aren’t there. Let’s say there’s some Russian recon drones over European military bases to spy on Ukrainian training. Then they’d immediately claim that there’s “drones” (in their worlds that’s literal aliens) all around the globe, even though those scout drones have nothing to do with what is being seen elsewhere.

    I do believe there’s some US drones being tested in somewhat publicly though, because the press release wordings were very deliberate, but that’s not really weird. I think the F-117 & B-2 were also often confused with UFOs when they were prototyping the planes.

    I’m curious why especially the US tends to be so prone to mass hysteria events though. Just a matter of the country’s size encapsulating so many places & people?
