Aliens And National Security

The Resurgence Of UFO Information May Be A Psychological Operation To Bolster America’s National Security

The universe is so massive that scientists still do not have a sturdy grasp on its true size, only that the observable universe is at least 93 billion light-years across. That is quite a bit of space. So much so, in fact, that it casts serious doubt on the notion that humanity is the only intelligent life floating through the cosmos.

The idea that humanity doesn’t have any interstellar neighbors is fading more and more every day, and in its place, a renewed interest in extraterrestrial life is on the rise. This is interesting timing considering that UFO whistleblowers, a group historically dismissed by the mainstream as hacks, are now making their way before Congress.  And the government, seemingly out of nowhere, appears to now have an interest in “transparency” when it comes to the topic of UFOs.

A strong case can be made that all of these recent occurrences are not merely a coincidence, but rather part of a psychological operation designed to bolster the United States’ image of strength within the international community.

A major rationalist explanation for why nations go to war is perceived weakness. In other words, when one nation deems one of its competitors to be in a weakened state it very often will become more aggressive toward that nation.

Because of its might, the United States has historically been on the aggressing side of these dichotomous relationships.  However, in the aftermath of COVID and the Biden Administration’s blundering of the Afghanistan withdrawal, America has not, as of late, been projecting strength toward its competitors. This is where Aliens may come in.

The US government has a long history of engaging in less-than-ethical and sometimes even downright dishonest behavior if it helps bolster national security. 

During the Summer of 1947, the US military was developing top-secret balloons that, in theory, were supposed to increase its surveillance capabilities in regard to the Soviet Union. Things did not go as planned, though, and several sightings of the balloons were reported to the press.

It didn’t take long until this spark ignited a forest fire of conspiracy theories, and as this was going on the military remained silent and, in some cases, even helped to advance the outlandish theories surrounding the sightings. 

In addition to this government-supported deceit, it is also now public knowledge that during the 1950s and 1960s, the US Air Force published misleading and false reports about UFO sightings across the American Mid-West. The reason for this, as has now come out, is that the military was testing experimental high-altitude spy planes and didn’t want the populace to know. 

The full truth about these psychological operations, very likely, will never come out. However, the information that is out there proves that the government can and will use conspiracy theories to misdirect the masses' attention if it serves its agenda.

Now, what does all of this mean when it comes to the recent resurgence in UFO discussions?

Well, since the US government has a strong motivation to rebrand itself as a force to be reckoned with, it is not unreasonable to suspect that all of this new legitimacy the government is giving UFOs (whistleblowers being brought before Congress and UFO-related documents being declassified) is actually part of a broader plan. 

In a way, the US is currently embroiled in a new space race. However, this new space race has nothing to do with the moon or Russia and instead pertains to China and cutting-edge space-age technologies, like satellites with EMP and advanced surveillance capabilities, that could end up being this generation's version of splitting the atom. In lay terms, with all of the major superpowers now possessing nuclear weapons, each country is looking for the next best thing that could give them a tactical edge in the international arena. 

Because the US does not know exactly how far along China is in this race, from a strategic point of view it would behoove them to make sure that China continues to see them as a competitor. A good way of doing this is by creating ambiguity in regard to our own progress and/or technological capabilities. This is exactly what inflaming the UFO conversation does. 

If China believes that the Americans have either made contact with highly advanced extraterrestrials or at least that they are reverse engineering some of their technology, well, then they may think twice before being aggressive with us.

Now, there are other valid explanations for the recent surge in UFO news being propagated. For one, it could all be legitimate and the government may, for once, be trying out honesty. A second explanation is that this is all, yes, a psychological operation. But one that is designed to distract from domestic political controversies, such as the various Biden family's corruption scandals. And then there is the theory that all of this is just the CIA once again covering up top-secret projects.

A respectable case can be made for all of these theories, but if a person looks at all of the facts, they cannot rule out the possibility that this is all a psychological operation designed to keep America’s competitors in check while we struggle to find this generations version of the atom bomb.
