I don’t give a fig for “belief.” I want the truth.

(Okay, emotionally, I don’t want to believe in UFOs as we see them presented these days: random weird meaningless balls of light that appear, but whose pilots refuse to engage in communication or contact. If they’re so alien to us that they can’t talk to us – can’t even manage to blink out a series of counting numbers – then they’re creepy, and I don’t want anything to do with them.)

Couldn’t care less. Roswell was a balloon carrying classified equipment to detect future potential Russian nuke tests (hence the secrecy & disinformation).

Everything else is just nonsense (Instamatic snaps of hoaxers throwing hubcaps…) 😃

Maybe they’ll tweet some of the information.
