The US government has near zero credibility. I dgaf what they say wrt aliens.

It may just be a distraction but could be a psyop by the cia for some convoluted reason.

They do seem to be earnestly playing the alien card right now and aren't letting it up.

That tells me that there will be escalation on this with some end goal in mind. And it will likely be another pain in the ass like their last one.
