categorized plane and weapons packages, notably by spreading pretend

Briefly, as a substitute of aliens being actual, the federal government made up the alien stuff

article occupies a paradoxical place: It critiques one so-called fable (UFOs
as aliens) whereas developing one other (UFOs as disinfo)—every depending on
belief in unseen sources, proof and so forth.
So let’s examine what spherical II has to supply …
