I didn't realise it was possible to be too credulous to be an exorcist.

I don't understand American obsession with UFO, is there something behind it?

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 38 minutes ago

The confirmed, filmed sightings of UAP doing things we understand to by physically impossible are behind it yes. I refer you to the US Air Force, and their publicly released footage.

My guess, and it's a left field one, holograms.

Mostly poor education in STEM and a massive distrust of government.

If you want an American to believe something, tell the m the government says it is a hoax.

It's mostly because of a highly credible and stable intelligence officer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Grusch_UFO_whistleblower_claims

Essentially he was tasked with finding where funds are going and it led him to a rabbit hole of black programs

Keep in mind this doesn't mean any of the implications of the programs are true, but the programs do exist, whether their purpose is legitimate or not is the question

This guy clearly hasn't finished reading all of 'Childhood's End' yet.

Literally the plot of Dandadan, really good anime.
