This is wild.
So, at a Congressional hearing about UFOs, a witness shows a photo of a cruise ship-sized ufo taken by a commercial pilot as the ufo hovers beneath the airliner.

Why isn’t this big news?
I’m guessing it’s because we are desensitized to such stories. Whistleblowers are coming out almost weekly with fantastic stories but no “proof”. Photos without rock solid provinance are shrugged off because they could well be fake. It seems like it’s always the same ten (or so) people who are feeding us these far fetched stories. We have been around the block so many times with these stories that it is difficult to get excited since they never lead anywhere.

And yet… it seems like there might be something going on that we don’t understand. There are some solid reasons to wonder about it.

This can’t just be a giant folk myth, can it?

^^^^^^
…And… DEBUNKED. Thoroughly. Not a fake photo. But definitely not a UFO.
This is the second time this prominent UFO guy has been duped.


Sigh.

I think the average person living on this planet has become desensitized to a degree, especially since the Internet came into existence. Now, every crackpot and/or legitimate official Sentinel can share their latest blurry-beyond-belief "evidence" that UFOs and Aliens truly do exist, and by God they're gonna' get famous proving it. Our governments around the world will, of course, not allow that to happen because they're concerned that a planet-wide panic could set in and cause untold havoc, but their ham-fisted cover-ups are usually more ridiculous than the sightings themselves, hence tabloids like the National Enquirer and the Weekly World News "...reporting the facts the Government doesn't want you to know."

I tend to take it all "with a pinch of salt" myself. I don't want to waste time keeping track of information that may or may not be valid. As it is, I went through public schooling for 13 years (Kindergarten through 12th grade), received my diploma, became a member of the "working class", and now reports from semi-reliable sources are saying much of the information printed in Earth's "history" books is either mildly incorrect or just flat out wrong. And yet, again, our governments are trying to decide which of this "new" information should be shared with us, and which should be hidden away from us forever because it reveals too much about how our governments have been lying to us for decades.

So that's one public perception. The single source that leads me to believe there is indeed intelligent non-human life in the universe(s) is, or was, my older brother Pete. According to our mother, Pete was the one good thing that came from her first marriage, to a verbally abusive husband who joined the Navy less than six months after they were married, and, once he'd served his duty and was released from the navy, never saw her (or my brother Pete) again.

Pete, on the other hand, excelled in school, got good grades, graduated with flying colors...and joined the Air Force. He became a Radarman, served his time, was released from duty, and came home to begin a civilian life. He learned I had an interest in the American space program (Apollo), and he fostered that, perhaps hoping I'd join the military and follow in his footsteps, or perhaps try to become an Astronaut myself. None of that happened, but he did share a few stories with me about how he'd seen "unidentified spacecraft" on his radar screens regularly, and that he could only report them to his superiors through proper channels and not tell anyone about them. Sadly, follow-up at this time is impossible; Pete suffered a fatal heart attack in 1984 at the age of 48. I however, worked for a company that processed parts for the Space Shuttle program (most noticeably the sections that comprised the Solid Rocket Boosters that launched every Shuttle into orbit) so my name was on the paperwork for a number of those Rocket Boosters from 1989 to 2005.
