A more accurate title for this post could be: “English-Based UFO Reporting Organizations Primarily Receive Reports from, Unsurprisingly, English-Speaking Countries.”
Let me guess, the source for this image is a US/western UFO reporting organization.
Turns out they love guns
IIRC this was a study (survey?) done by a American company.
There are tons of UFO sighting in plenty of non-NA or EU countries such as Brazil and South Africa
^ this is true.
This post is insanely misleading.
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
The defining speech of President Whitmore. Right up there with the Gettysburg address.
Between him and Morgan Freeman, the U.S. has had some really good presidents.
He had his flaws, but I still think of him as our greatest president.
When the first dinosaur bone was discovered, noone had heard about it before and people believed that bones they found before were from some animals
After people knew about dinosaurs they started finding them other places in the world at a rapid pace. Many people thought it was all a hoax
So you know, unless you know about them you don’t know what to report. And americans think most about aliens I guess.
That being said, probably there aren’t secret aliens around. probably 🫣
So… what were they mistaking the aliens for?
I mean, the actual verified “alien craft” in America is actually more of a “not sure what that is” grainy footage in an age where Donald Trump tweeted out classified satellite images that showed the cameras we use are actually far more advanced and show far more detail than any we knew existed. And that technology was over a decade old at the time!
So… what were they mistaking the aliens for?
Ghosts. Spirits. Dragons. Or any other mythical creatures, or mythical phenomena of your choice.
If there were aliens, those are the descriptions I would expect through most of human history. And those are the descriptions I would expect in basically all the world, almost everywhere that isn’t the US, even today.
So it couldn’t be Americans mistaking ghosts for aliens? Or bigfoot, a creature that we haven’t been able to verify because their culture advanced past ours and is able to cloak themselves and occasionally go on joyrides in their more advanced technology and forget to turn on the cloaking device? We have just as much evidence for all of these things.
You didn’t get the point I made.
No, I’m pretty sure I fully understand you. I’m just pretty sure that people are either making it up or ascribing normal, terrestrial things that they don’t understand as fantastical things. There aren’t ghosts, spirits, dragons or aliens that have secretly visited earth but choses not to make actual contact. My point is that all of those things are equally unlikely. I assumed my over-the-top absurdity made that clear.
And I feel like you might be underestimating literally all of the world if you think these things are actually aliens. You’re implying that they would assume something they don’t understand is some mystical nonsense. That “almost everywhere that isn’t the US, even today” is superstitious and wouldn’t know what aliens are.
I’m just pretty sure that people are either making it up or ascribing normal, terrestrial things that they don’t understand as fantastical things.
Yes.
As I said: If there were aliens, those fantastical things, are the descriptions I would expect through most of human history. And in most non US places. After all, aliens are a modern US legend, invented from Americans, for Americans.
I didn’t say that there were any aliens anywhere. Or that there were any other fantastical things anywhere.
That “almost everywhere that isn’t the US, even today” is superstitious and wouldn’t know what aliens are
Didn’t we just establish that aliens are superstition? I think you are overestimating how many people share “aliens” as the most popular superstition which comes to mind first.
Most of the US shares that. A lot of other places probably don’t. Don’t underestimate how many strange stories about strange things in the night are out there :D
Ya know what? I misread this interaction. My bad. I didn’t realize we were arguing the same point. The last week has shown a lot of people on this site arguing fervently for the case of aliens visiting earth, and I made assumptions. I’m sorry buddy.
You said right, REPORTED
We don’t have bad video cameras here
