> distraction for something else?
replyThe list is endless. Obvious distraction.
Feels like every time the government wants us to pay attention to something else, they release something about UFOs and aliens.
replyOr go to war.
reply"Skirmish" or "Conflict" or "Action". It's less illegal if you don't call it a war.
replyAre you saying that if you were to dig in to this, you would forget about other things?
replyThese distraction comments always sound a little condescending to me. They are all over Reddit and it's a bit of a bummer to see it taking off here.
These are the sort of people who aren't good with ambiguity, lack curiosity, and cannot tolerate holding conflicting views.
replyThis reframe is a meme, but truly, if they were to dig into this topic they'd find there's more to uaps than meets the eye. There is something here that we don't understand.
Everything is a distraction from the fact that our politicians are all corrupt millionaires and we're effectively a country run by an oligarchy. Literally everything else is a distraction from this, to keep the machine going as long as possible, before a revolution takes place (which might happen without our lifetime, if we look at recent events).
reply:yawn: When in your lifetime were politicians not "run by an oligarchy"? It's so boring when people just hang onto the latest buzzwords and say nothing of substance. You think they need aliens to distract us from this?

replyI would highly recommend that you see treatment. And I mean it seriously
replyIf the full extent of the distraction is a 3 minute segment on cable news (and this HN submission), this is a complete failure of a distraction attempt.
replyI can't tell if comments like this are serious or rage bait.
Something can be a bad distraction. The fact that they’re planning on releasing these at a drip over the coming weeks/months certainly builds a case that this is meant to be yet another distraction. And you can bet this administration is desperate for anything that turns people’s attention away from Iran.
replyAnd Iran used to be a distraction from something else the administration was desperate to turn the public's attention away from.
replyMaybe so but unlike near-meaningless UAP info dumps that one actually matters and has real world ramifications lol
