Hot take: most UFO sightings are just drones now, not government secrets
Last week I saw three lights over my backyard in Denver that I would've sworn were aliens five years ago, but after zooming in with my phone they were just hobby drones with LEDs. Has anyone else noticed how drone tech is making conspiracy footage way harder to trust?

That "most UFO sightings are just drones now" really hits home. I read this article in Wired a few months back that said consumer drone sales have gone up like 300% since 2020 and now the FAA gets thousands of reports every year from people confusing them with UFOs. It's wild how a $500 toy can completely change what we used to think were government secrets.

Dude I had the exact same thought last month @brookekelly. Saw a quadcopter with flashing RGB lights over my backyard at 2 AM, almost called the police until I realized it was my neighbor's kid practicing FPV racing. Makes you wonder how many "government secrets" were just some dude losing his $300 toy in the wind.
