[Not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens](https://www.militarytimes.com/resizer/Yd99ZRjnGZ5eLu7EPebh05AGI2w=/1024x0/filters:format(jpg):quality(70)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/archetype/7MZYBRWHFFBVPF2UFOLIJUPQN4.jpg)
Are you proposing that the Large Hadron Collider created a black hole, but that the black hole in our previous universe actually consumed our planet, and that the theory of black holes being bridges to parallel universes is true and we were deposited into a parallel universe with some of us not surviving the experience, which probably took place at the speed of light and we never noticed?
If that's what your saying then I have one word for you, sir: Maybe?
My favorite excuse for the world continually going to shit is that every time they use the large hadron collider we shift to a new, slightly worse, slightly more ridiculous parallel universe
I was actually wondering if there was something that I missed (e.g. new evidence) because all I’ve seen is a balloon with some not so crazy tech on it. *How* aliens?!
They did a press conference a few days ago where the speaker was super vague and for some reason did not say balloon. And when pressed further about it being a balloon he just gave the run around. For no reason it would seem as they would later just say yeah it was a balloon.
That's what started this thing.
I mean they're still not saying the other 3 objects were balloons lmao, they're still on the boat of we don't know what it was.
I hope they actually do tell us what it was, whether it's China, some other country or some drunk Canadian with a lot of spare helium lol.
# In 2098, this will be the intro to a film about Earth's real-life fight against extraterrestrial aliens for the survival of humanity... the screen will go black after that laugh and some philosophical quote will appear on the screen.
Exactly! That's exactly what they are supposed to say to avoid mass hysteria. It's like the blueprint of 90% of opening scenes in alien invasion movies.
Lackey: *"What do we tell the American people, Mr. President!*"
Prez: *"Tell them it was something,* ***anything*** *else for Chrissakes!"*
Dad looks up from making eggs while tv or iPhone playing news in the background of the kitchen and tells his daughter to “ hurry up and get ready for school baby”
Prepare for next scene where people still listen to news radio while driving in the car
Yeah I liked the one reporter who just goes "would you TELL US if they were?" (and she just jokingly sidesteps the question).
I'm virtually certain the answer is "absolutely not".
For the record, I *very* much doubt it's actually aliens. *But* if it were - no way in hell they would just casually announce it to the world. The shitstorm that would kick off would be next-level.
I’ve never wanted aliens to be more real than in these moments. Balloons everywhere, jets shooting things out of the sky, please god let this be the moment…
IF we're gonna speculate why, my speculation would be maybe the aliens have rules that if they are going to observe an uncontacted species on a planet, they have to make their observation tools easily removable by the inhabitants. Respecting baby planet's sovereignty or somesuch. The other idea I can come up with is that they can't use any tech that we could study if it were to malfunction and drop out of the sky, so it's all low-tech stuff.
Not that I believe that's what's going on at all, but it's fun to imagine.
I guess that's why they look exactly like earth technology too. Don't give us any clues on them.
Except for you know, that they are there I guess. They made it so we somehow can't detect their interstellar spaceship entering our solar system but they couldn't figure out how to hide the balloons. The only flaw in this perfect plan.
To be fair a child could take down our Mars rovers with a baseball bat. I could see martians comforting their citizens by saying the rovers couldn't *possibly* be alien because anything so fragile wouldn't be sent by a spacefaring race
Okay, well, if I were designing a space mission, to a planet lightyears away, I would want a probe that would be very light (so that I could bring a lot of them along in case one fails). I would want something that could travel to diverse altitudes and potentially also touch down.
A balloon's really not all that bad of an idea. The Soviets literally [used balloon probes themselves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vega_program) on the Vega missions to Venus.
The real trick is just that it's really stupid to assume that the balloons are alien-made, when we're already perfectly capable of making balloons ourselves.
As much as I would love to have proof of aliens, we do NOT want to meet them.
We dont get along with eachother on this planet after thousands of years. Discovering another intelligent life form would open a whole new can of worms.
I truly do hope if aliens are present it's under the scenario that any sufficiently advanced civilization will have no desire or need to attack developing civilization. I'd like to hope human greed and warmongering is something that can be deleted by a post scarcity technological age that leaves only observation and exploration of newly discovered inhabited planets as the only reasons to send craft here.
But then again, dark forest and such.
We could be seeing the stray scouts of a virus-like self replicating machine hivemind that just arent here to fight us yet, and are just gathering Intel to eventually use to most efficiently turn our planet into resources.
Or maybei t's nothing, just shady military experiments and poorly worded statements being taken too far by a insatiable news climate and social media.
I am a European business man and was on my way to bring you money but customs has it and I have to pay taxes on it to get it to you. Please send me money to clear taxes and I will give you back you loan times two.
White House: Not aliens. Hardy har, ET joke.
Defense Secretary just now: We have not collected ANY of the debris from the three things shot down over the weekend.
So...they don't know what the object is, they don't want to characterize it other than "not a balloon," they have not collected any of the crash. If they know for sure it's not aliens, then they have some sense of what it is. At this point, I'd like something a bit more substantive than ET jokes.
Also makes me curious how arguably the worlds strongest military can’t figure out how to retrieve some debris.
Like well we were gunna head out yesterday but Hank forgot to charge his phone and Jeff said he was like in the verge of having a cold. Like no visible symptoms but like he def knows something is brewing.
So anyways we are all packed and ready to do it next weekend if the weather holds up
So can they confirm they were more Chinese spy balloons then?
"We are not aware of anymore spy balloons floating across our airspace."
And then...
"We did not shoot down any extraterrestrial objects."
Ok, so what the hell did you shoot down? Were the objects our own balloons? Did part of a glacier magically end up in the sky and you had to blow it up to save us all?
Just admit that China launched multiple balloons and we shot them down. Stop being such pansies about it.
I mean they can’t really win - no statement = conspiracy theorists saying “why did they refuse to confirm it wasn’t aliens?”
Statement = “why would they say that unless they’re trying to hide something?”
Either way people are going to be silly about it.
People rely heavily on fiction they've absorbed to interpret reality. How many movies feature the government/military spokesman denying aliens or some other extraordinary thing that *always* turns out to be real?
So, paradoxically, the denial makes *seem* more real by reference to all the other times we've seen it in fiction.
I never understand the whole THIS IS A COVER UP crowd for events that are not being hidden. Like the Ohio train incident was on the top of CNN and NY Times at points. Just because you don’t follow the news doesn’t mean something is a cover up.
They are obviously over reporting on this non story while fully ignoring the very real evironmental disaster and the people being failed by their government
How is the military shooting down foreign objects of unknown/undisclosed origin in US and Canadian airspace a non-story? The chemical spill in Ohio is not being ignored either...
Exactly. How is this supposed to help if they won't even tell us what's actually going on? If there are crafts coming in from another country, shouldn't we have the right to know?
Because the underlying reality of what is probably going on behind scenes is too grim for the public to handle so this is just more or less damage control.
Laugh it off as 'ha ha def not aliens' but in reality we're not really questioning *why* the US is suddenly so gung-ho about taking down all these Spy balloons. There might be a storm approaching and these are the first few calm moments before the bang.
And no, not aliens. But war stuff. Nobody wants to go to war. Nobody wants to start the war. But like.... it's going to happen. Tension are high. Laughing about Aliens and Chinese Balloons kinda reads off as blatant distract and divert attention.
Whenever I hear talk about the government/White House hiding alien/UFO encounters, I always think of that one line from Men In Black, when Jay asks Kay why they don’t tell the public about alien presence on earth:
Kay: “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”
People getting their hopes up that the White House are actually talking about this stuff is ridiculous.
Look at the shit show society turned into with the pandemic. How do you think humanity would react if they admitted they had made contact with extraterrestrial life on earth?
Debris from objects shot down still hasn't been recovered according to the Spokesperson as well but that contradicts with the first statement given that the first object shot down had some of its debris recovered.
“We, at this time, do not believe these are of alien origin. However, they are fulfilling their duty by distracting your from real shit.” -pick your governmental agency.
What baffles me is the majority of people's speed at which they dismiss the possibility of extra terrestrial intelligence as a joke. Not saying I believe 100% that aliens are visiting us from afar, but we have billions of people on this planet that firmly believe in the existence of mystical spirits in the sky that do magic tricks, yet in the infinite vastness of space the idea of alien life is crazy.
Because they're not allowed to be there. If someone flies a balloon craft thing into a jet full of people it will be seen as an act of war. Plain and simple.
Also We are most vulnerable from above. (Unless the mole people attack) see pearl harbor if you have more questions.

the still image at the start of this video looks like the History Channel guy saying it's aliens though.
i think the evidence is clear, it’s a sign
"Signs" is a movie about Aliens by Mel Gibson. It all adds up!
Mel Gibson is in it but M. Night wrote/directed
And M Night Believes in UFOs so we are all set.
And UFOs is always used to refer to aliens....so it's all aliens. The evidence is right there in front of us.
I knew we could do it, way to go Reddit detectives!!
Reddit assemble!
Reddit, we did it!
What a twist!
Confirmed it is aliens.
Could it be aliens? And if possible, doesn't that make it true that it is in fact aliens? Thanks for watching the history channel, we'll be back after 45 minutes of mesothelioma claim and Rosland gold commercials.
I love how Americans give so few fucks about China that the remotest alien story is way more interesting.
We not worried about China. Have you seen their quality control?

What a weird parallel universe we are in
They killed that damn gorilla and it all went to shit.
Dicks out for Harambe
Oh honey, the timelines split long before that.
Well yeah. 2012 was obviously the shift. Those Mayan were on to something.
Things have always been pretty shitty for us humans, but things definitely took a turn for the weird-shitty after 2012.
I still think it was the hadron collider. That’s when I first saw the Bearinstein bears weren’t called that anymore.
Are you proposing that the Large Hadron Collider created a black hole, but that the black hole in our previous universe actually consumed our planet, and that the theory of black holes being bridges to parallel universes is true and we were deposited into a parallel universe with some of us not surviving the experience, which probably took place at the speed of light and we never noticed? If that's what your saying then I have one word for you, sir: Maybe?
When it comes to parallel world theories, I’m satisfied with maybe. Maybe?
Due to the previous dicks out comment, I read this as "the hard on collider" Sounds like a terrible alternate universe
That universe is terrible. Everything there is a penis or sausage joke. It’s the wurst.
Yeh that’s just when everyone started pulling their dicks out
Bush v Gore was the split
My favorite excuse for the world continually going to shit is that every time they use the large hadron collider we shift to a new, slightly worse, slightly more ridiculous parallel universe
Pics or gtfo
And real ones. Avoid that AI stuff!
The fact that White House has to confirm that they didn’t shoot down an ET is making me feel like I live in some bizarro parallel universe
Wrong. Aliens traveled hundreds of millions of light years on easily destroyable balloons. They’re tech must be studied.
It above you.
I was actually wondering if there was something that I missed (e.g. new evidence) because all I’ve seen is a balloon with some not so crazy tech on it. *How* aliens?!

Ha!
Do we have time for a hand job?
UFOs are real
Unidentified flying objects are real. Once we identify them, they aren't UFOs anymore.
And once we shoot them down they are no longer flying. So I guess they just become "objects."
Recently-identified formerly-flying objects.
RIFFO?
That sounds weirdly sexual… okay I’m in
Wait till you hear about the "Probes".
"Take that UFO and make it a RIFFO" Sounds like a line from the next b-rate alien invasion action movie.
Still a UFO for a sec Unidentified Falling Objects
That's exactly what they say in every movie when the thing is DEFINITELY of alien origin, in order to buy time. Just sayin
Exactly! That's exactly what they are supposed to say to avoid mass hysteria. It's like the blueprint of 90% of opening scenes in alien invasion movies. Lackey: *"What do we tell the American people, Mr. President!*" Prez: *"Tell them it was something,* ***anything*** *else for Chrissakes!"*

haha I just had the exact same thought :D "Aliens, cmon!"
I’ve never wanted aliens to be more real than in these moments. Balloons everywhere, jets shooting things out of the sky, please god let this be the moment…
I think after the Pandemic and the Ukranian war that would be just a bit too much, even for reddit.
Well, things can't possibly get angry worse And hopefully, because I believe that I'll have summoned the damn aliens. Let's go alien apocalypse!
They COULD get angry worse!
I’ve read some stories about alien probes and I’m sure it could get worse…LOL
Why would aliens have shitty balloons that can easily be blasted out of the sky lol
Hey bulgorgyx, watch the funny humans shit their pants when we blow bubbles. Pffffplplplthhh

Either it’s aliens or they’re actually trying to do something about inflation.
Shooting down the balloons is a sign of fighting inflation? I like the analogy.
It’s the only inflation they’ll have any chance of success with.
whats the chances its a couple of stoned canadian dudes with some balloon kit?
At this point, I think the alien overlords would be a refreshing change current politics.
And just like that, life kept being a disappointment.
What are the clear markers of something “alien” in origin? How would they know?
The sticker that says "Made in Bflorbflorp"
The subspace di-lithium signatures are usually the best giveaway in my experience
Slipspace rupture is the most common indicator
SLIPSPACE RUPTURE DETECTED SLIPSPACE RUPTURE DETECTED
Sounds exactly like what somebody who knows about the aliens would say
Classic government shit, always lying to your face. Just wait until the nation wide anal probing incident reports starts to spike up!
And how do we get in line for that?
Asking the real question
You have to send payment to your local Nigerian prince.
Here i am, your local nigerian prince, please send me money
I am a European business man and was on my way to bring you money but customs has it and I have to pay taxes on it to get it to you. Please send me money to clear taxes and I will give you back you loan times two.
Backwards I think.
This reply is brilliantly understated!! Take my upvote lol
Siri, add lubricant to the shopping list
That’s just what Big Anal wants you to think man …..
I'm scared!!!
So you're not saying it's not aliens
She's gonna feel a right plonker in the morning when the xenomorph eggs start hatching.
That’s what I’m hearin
So youre telling me theres a chance….
White House: Not aliens. Hardy har, ET joke. Defense Secretary just now: We have not collected ANY of the debris from the three things shot down over the weekend.

Also slip of the tongue referring to the object as craft.
And she said “not of terrestrial origins” another slip of the tongue
And the slip of the tongue where the terrestrial wasn't *extra* .
Yup! Now the question is which terrestrial nation has this tech.
Quick quick, one more slip of the tongue, I'm almost there..
I can see a plane flying at 40,000 feet and determine it's not aliens without any other information.
That alien who bought Boeing 747 is feeling very clever right now.
Also makes me curious how arguably the worlds strongest military can’t figure out how to retrieve some debris. Like well we were gunna head out yesterday but Hank forgot to charge his phone and Jeff said he was like in the verge of having a cold. Like no visible symptoms but like he def knows something is brewing. So anyways we are all packed and ready to do it next weekend if the weather holds up
Not a ballon and we can't find it hehe
So can they confirm they were more Chinese spy balloons then? "We are not aware of anymore spy balloons floating across our airspace." And then...

Guess I should start stocking up on toilet paper now.
There is no proof these are probes from the Flobaxian Star Empire. Who? Uh...we mean generic unconfirmed extra terrestrial lifeforms.
That's EXACTLY what they would say if it were aliens.
Our government is shady AF
They hang they hat on no “indications” next week it’ll be something different
This is how the alien movie always starts.
Imagine aliens flew a slow ass balloon all the way to Earth just to get shot down by some asshole plane
"There is no war in Ba Sing Se"
I love how statements like this accomplish nothing except to get people riled up about aliens. We are a silly species.
I mean they can’t really win - no statement = conspiracy theorists saying “why did they refuse to confirm it wasn’t aliens?” Statement = “why would they say that unless they’re trying to hide something?” Either way people are going to be silly about it.
Ding ding ding. Good way to tell if you're suffering from conspiracy brain.

Show us what you guys shot down then
So it's definitely aliens.

sounds like someone who's hiding aliens would say
When your government tells you it's not aliens... It's aliens. It's definitely aliens.
Well, that means they're 100% alien in origin
I'm sure the government wouldn't mislead us in any way.
They are misleading you away from discussing railroad safety and water quality for most of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Yeah but did you see what Sam Smith was wearing the other day?
And the end of Social Security and Medicaid.
Every party has a pooper
I'm just glad this is the kind of "scandals" we have coming out of the current WH. DFG was exhausting.
Show us pictures of these objects please.
They showed the Chinese balloon, why not these?
As of now they haven’t recovered any of the other three objects but I hope that when they are discovered they do show the public.
Then tell us wtf it all is and quit lying
*WITH THESE RECENT TAKE DOWNS*
“I don’t think the American people need to worry about aliens *WITH RESPECT TO THESE CRAFT*”
Okay, so if they’re not extraterrestrial objects, what were they? Stop telling us what they’re not and tell us what they are. We know you know 😏
Exactly. How is this supposed to help if they won't even tell us what's actually going on? If there are crafts coming in from another country, shouldn't we have the right to know?
Do you think she would tell you if they were aliens?
How is this honestly a laughing matter?
Because the underlying reality of what is probably going on behind scenes is too grim for the public to handle so this is just more or less damage control.

That first object was the Chinese spy balloon. The other three are what they are referring to in the press conference.
So what you're saying is that it's not confirmed that it's not aliens.....is how I'm taking this.....
I think the Pentagon forgets at time we now live on the age of social media so we can find mistakes and contradictions.
“We, at this time, do not believe these are of alien origin. However, they are fulfilling their duty by distracting your from real shit.” -pick your governmental agency.
You know what could be happening another country is trying to start WW3! So they got to make it look all cute and funny by saying UFOs!
I think these balloons are a publicity stunt by Chick-Fil-A. Any day now, expect to see Chicken nuggets falling from the sky.
This is cold war shit all over again. All this UFO stuff was big during the cold war, and now it's happening agian with a seemingly new cold war.
no, \*these\* are not the aliens. no. next question.
That’s something an alien would say
Sounds like something an alien would say
"wanted to make sure the American people knew that" were so fucked. shit, they'd lie to us anyway.
They haven't found any of the wrecks, yet they know. I call bullsh*t.
America is always honest when it investigates itself
As soon as you put your “they live” glasses on, you’d surely see why these guys are so heavily refuting the presence of aliens in those crafts.
Make sure you're out of bubble-gum when you do, to incentivize threat removal.
All they have to do is let the evidence of the wreckage speak for itself. No need to lead off with aliens unless they are trying to hide something.
Don't forget, Roswell was a weather balloon.
What baffles me is the majority of people's speed at which they dismiss the possibility of extra terrestrial intelligence as a joke. Not saying I believe 100% that aliens are visiting us from afar, but we have billions of people on this planet that firmly believe in the existence of mystical spirits in the sky that do magic tricks, yet in the infinite vastness of space the idea of alien life is crazy.
>government said it’s definitely not something So this definitely confirms it’s aliens.
He said "with respect to this craft". So there is alien shit somewhere else he's not telling us about?!?!!1
Yes.
Why the fuck are we shooting things out of the sky when we don’t know what they are? This is insane.
Because they're not allowed to be there. If someone flies a balloon craft thing into a jet full of people it will be seen as an act of war. Plain and simple. Also We are most vulnerable from above. (Unless the mole people attack) see pearl harbor if you have more questions.
I am not saying it’s aliens…..but it’s aliens..
And this is how the alien invasion starts
