If this story goes into more mainstream outlets, it's pretty clear it's just an attention distraction they can turn on and off like a tap to keep people watching the news confused. The only interesting question (or trade) to me is what this alien narrative is a pretext for.

What I am 100% sure of is that if aliens existed, they could have chosen to reveal themselves at any time, there is no concievable civilization that could consider our current order worthy of endorsement, and that to human power, power is everything and the only thing. You can't imagine how some of them suffer without it.

So even if aliens existed and the artifacts were real, if this story gets into mainstream rotation, there is zero chance it is anything other than a diversion tactic for another significant politcal event.




Or maybe you've just been conditioned to think it's a distraction, as part of the disinfo campaign in order to dismiss it? A way to protect from the very leaks that may be happening now! Ha ha ha :)
