UFOs, flying saucers, at Area 51, nothing but a military cover up?

12 June 2025

This sounds like the news that no one wanted you to hear:

The congressionally ordered probe took investigators back to the 1980s, when an Air Force colonel visited a bar near Area 51, a top-secret site in the Nevada desert. He gave the owner photos of what might be flying saucers. The photos went up on the walls, and into the local lore went the idea that the U.S. military was secretly testing recovered alien technology. But the colonel was on a mission — of disinformation. The photos were doctored, the now-retired officer confessed to the Pentagon investigators in 2023. The whole exercise was a ruse to protect what was really going on at Area 51: The Air Force was using the site to develop top-secret stealth fighters, viewed as a critical edge against the Soviet Union.

Hands up those who believe any of that, hey?

Otherwise, if someone could explain how extraterrestrials can travel vast distances through the galaxy to reach Earth, in vessels the size of a bus, apparently capable of travelling at the speed of light (or supposedly faster) without saying “oh, but they can bend the laws of physics”, I’m all ears. No warp powered motherships capable of cloaked flight either, please.
