Authored by Caitlin Johnstone,
Back in 2019 I wrote an article titled “Things Are Only Going To Get Weirder”, and from Covid to the 2020 election to the steadily increasing regularity with which UFOs are now mentioned in the mainstream media, that has indeed proved to be the case.
Our ongoing slide into the abyss of infinite weirdness may have eclipsed this from your memory by now, but there was once a time not too long ago when frequent mainstream news stories about the possibility of extraterrestrial aircraft in our skies would not have sounded like something from real life. Lately it’s been a daily occurrence, and the president of the United States is now being asked about it at news conferences.
“President Obama says there is footage and records of objects in the skies — these unidentified aerial phenomena — and he says we don’t know exactly what they are. What do you think that it is?” a reporter asked Biden near the end of a joint press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Friday. Biden brushed off the question in his trademark almost-but-not-quite-lucid way with the comment “I would ask him again,” and hustled off the stage.
The question followed comments by Barack Obama earlier in the week on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
“But what is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there are, there’s footage and records of objects in the skies, that we don’t know exactly what they are, we can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory,” Obama said.
“They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so, you know I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is.”
This follows a recent high-profile 60 Minutes special on UFOs (or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena as the cool kids are calling them nowadays), while the Pentagon continues to release “information” to the public about the existence of these encounters and the US Senate prepares to receive a mandated report on the matter next month.
A new Telegraph article titled “The Pentagon thinks UFOs may exist after all… and the evidence is growing” just trended on Twitter under the much more click-friendly title “The Pentagon strongly suspects aliens exist — and we’ve got the evidence”, and it ominously warns us that there is “a growing acceptance among defence officials around the world that there may indeed be something ‘out there’ — and that it might pose a genuine global security threat.”
These are just a few of the many, many mainstream news reports that have been pouring out lately on a subject which until recently was the sole purview of fringe “crackpots” and “conspiracy theorists”. Speaking of which, another weird thing we’re seeing is the roles between mainstream reporters and UFO enthusiasts being almost reversed: we now see MSNBC pundits openly musing that “UFO’s are clearly real? And have been hanging around our airspace for a while?”, while influential UFOlogists like Steven Greer are warning that this is a hoax by the US military to get a bunch of dangerous weapons into space.
I’m not interested in being one more person on the internet claiming to know exactly what’s going on with all this, but I do know there’s an exactly zero percent chance that all this is coming out into the mainstream spotlight because the US war machine suddenly decided that the public has a right to know about a potentially dangerous security threat. The Pentagon did not spontaneously evolve an interest in radical transparency, and it is not coincidental that this is happening as we hurtle into a new multi-front cold war and an accompanying race to weaponize space.
As I’ve said before, the simplest and most likely explanation for all this UFO stuff is that the US military is manipulating us yet again to advance yet another strategic agenda. I’m not saying that’s necessarily the full story, but it’s definitely happening.
Again, there is a high-profile Senate report on this subject due next month, so we can expect the weird to get even weirder quite soon. This is happening as narrative manipulation gets even more ham-fisted and overt, with the empire having now graduated from just imprisoning inconvenient journalists to literally bombing inconvenient journalism offices.
The only prediction I’ll make out of all this mess is the same one I’ve been making: that things are going to keep getting weirder and weirder. Patterns are unpatterning, power structures are struggling to retain their foothold, humanity’s relationship with narrative is radically transforming, and we are not just plunging into the unknown but actively flooring the accelerator into it.
And, in a profoundly sick society with profoundly unhealthy patterns, that might just end up being a good thing.

They need more funding to increase the size of our Space Force, and to make them all ‘woke’
Get ready folks, they’re getting ready to tell us we’re about to be invaded by man-eating aliens, and that they’re “going to protect us for our own good.”
Well, as long as it is just white men, they’ll be cool with it.
Win-win!
If they can’t drag us into another war they’re going to try to dazzle us with bullshit.
Werner von Braun told us so …

Time travelers on tour. Also visiting Pompeii at time of eruption and other historical disasters.
AAANNNDDD Its SHINY….
Inter dimensional being disclosure and eventual arrival.
Another end time doctrine of demons on God’s prophetic time line.
These Inter dimensional beings are for real and not our friends but minions of Satan’s grand delusion.
What astonishes me is the blase reaction to this news. Think about the Orson Welles’ broadcast of War of the World; complete pandemonium among people who missed the first part and thought it was real. Now, the government comes and says, yeah, UFO’s are real, we don’t know what they are, and they have technical capabilities that are beyond our own, and people are like, “Meh. What’s for dinner?” The “Story of the Year” has been the down graded to the news item of the week. We are so overwhelmed with information, or so distracted, and just so plain numb, that almost nothing catches our interest for very long. If it were announced that aliens had landed on the White House lawn, it probably would generate as much interest as the Golden Globes.
I’m inclined to agree Anon. We are suffering information overload and when that happens brains go into hibernation and move on to something tangible, like as you say, what’s for dinner? Most people I know have little time to wipe their asses let alone contemplate their navels whilst musing over a UFO or two.
My take on it is that it is almost certainly the military and if they are on ‘slow release’ of info, then they are preparing us for the next BIG thing – like war or something.
I figure that They are truly going nuts considering that their MSM is talking about UFOs. Perhaps they are real; we’ve never been told otherwise, and if that was the case, only someone truly insane would want to drag something like that into one of our inane psyops. Something like that hypothetically could come right back and literally bite you right in the arse.
Interestingly, there was a book published in 1998, Project Mindshift, which argues that for decades that government has concealed, then slowly began revealing information on UFO’s. The purpose behind this to get the public’s mind ready for the final disclosure that aliens do in fact exist, and that they’ve known it. For years we have seen clips of UFO’s zipping around, and plenty of pilots have spoken about weird encounters with them, but only now is the government coming clean. Why so coy? Maybe another shoe will drop.
Perhaps God lives in a spaceship?
You mean the Heavens Gate cultists were right? I am not cutting my nuts off.
No worries Iska – they have a vaccine for that! 🙂
Or an experimental treatment that has been approved for emergency use. Can’t set the bar too high
Ah, rightly so Leah. But we are talking about aliens here so I have assumed they have advanced technology that makes Star Trek obsolete and experimental treatments a thing of the past.
that’s awesome 🌟

The next First Lady is going to be a Jewish dude. That girl Ellen Page just had her boobs cut off. When Bruce Jenner was winning the Olympics, who even knew he was a lady?
oh boy, the ufo thing is the next psyop. well, we already convinced you rubes that people can be sick without symptoms, that men can get pregnant, that building 7 came down because of an airplane, that youll own nothing and be happy… so hey i think weve got this one in the bag.
Attributed to W.C. Fields…If you can’t dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit.
The only way I’m believing this one is if something knocks at my door, and I answer.
Wonder what Art Bell would have to say about this.
