Lol no one would've told Trump any of that even after he was elected
They probably gave him documents on it, but he's borderline illiterate so he wouldn't have touched them.
Yeah I'd be pretty sure the team around him would have been very careful about what information they gave him.
They went through all this in Independence Day. "Plausible deniability."
In order to learn anything about it, Trump would have had to have been curious about it, and since the subject is Area 51 and not Donald Trump you can be certain that it didn't cross his mind even once.
Area 51 is real. Don't know if there's any aliens there, but I'm betting not.
The Roswell Incident was declassified as well. It was a weather balloon with a microphone attachment that was meant to listen to a certain layer of the atmosphere where nukes are loudest. I don't have the link as I'm on mobile.
I don't think the government would deny any extraterrestrial claims by the news during the cold war because it would scare the commies shitless if they thought the United States had alien technology.
The US government has been caught spreading alien conspiracy theories. They were the ones supplying Paul Bennewitz with his bogus info to muddy the waters on the stealth craft they were working on at the time.
If I remember the story correctly the balloon was, as you said, to detect nuke detonations. When it crashed the government lied because they didn't want anyone to know what they were up to.
That method of detection wasn't very effective anyway, we figured out much more reliable means of detecting nuclear explosions right on the ground using resonance, but it was pretty obvious the government was lying, so of course peoples imaginations went wild with conspiracies and the ufo thing was born.
It was (and still is) a great thing for the US government, it deflects from what's really going on and keeps the idiots busy chasing bullshit, and the enemies guessing as to what kind of tech they may really have. Toss them a bone once in awhile to keep the frenzy going and you have a reliable means of obfuscation for little to no effort.
Roswell was actually multiple incidents remembered incorrectly iirc

Good pod on the topic
Yeah. Groom lake. Outside of Vegas. Not much to see unless you draw attention by trespassing. So I hear. I drove out there once but didn't get all that close. Anyway that facility was the base for the CIA A-12 planes, their version of the SR-71 Blackhawk.
Bros, this is really easy: The US Air Force was developing all sorts of secret stuff during the Cold War, to keep it secret from, you know, the Russians.
When a secret spy balloon crashed in a public place in Roswell, the Air Force didn't answer any direct questions and when someone asked if it could be aliens, their reply was, "it can be whatever you want!"
Part 2: Everyone forgot all about the whole event for 30 years, because it was completely unremarkable. Then, after the Watergate scandal, everyone was super suspicious of the government, because one conspiracy had just turned out to be true. And one guy got on the radio and was like, "yeah well the government even has aliens, remember Roswell?" And nobody did, so then they retold the story in the most suspicious way possible and he sold a ton of books.
And that's where aliens come from.
And that's where aliens come from.
When a mommy alien and a daddy alien love each other,
And if we're being really honest, the government probably doesn't mind the alien conspiracy theories at all because by having a fake reason to hate the government you're distracted from the real reasons to hate them. People that focus on the fact that the government might be withholding information about aliens from them have a higher chance of forgetting about the government withholding things like healthcare, food security, student debt relief, public transportation, consumer rights, survivable minimum wages, etc etc.
The aliens were using an inflatable probe to monitor Earth's weather conditions.
Why can't they use an inflatable probe to monitor my prostate?
It was above his security level.
This I can absolutely believe. You really think the entrenched MICC is going to give him access?
MIster Chief Collection
Correct, Truman was not allowed to know about the Manhattan project until it was already viable and needed to be known.
Truman became president on April,12 1945. He was given a full briefing on the Manhattan project on April 24,1945. That doesn't seem like he was being kept in the dark.
They didn't trust him so they never told him.
This. I bet half of his security briefings were just bullshit to make him feel important.
On the bright side, this also disproves all the Qanon shit
Did it need it?
At least alien life is a statistical near certainty. Intelligence, FTL, and a general willingness to be sneaky assholes about existing, not so much, but it's probably somewhere out there, compared to a prophet that makes 100 predictions and gets 1 right.
The same Trump who didn't read intelligence briefings? They probably handed him one on day one that explained aliens and Area 51 are all real and he used it to wipe burger grease off his mouth while he was writing a Tweet with his other hand in all caps.
I mean Area 51 definitely exists, it's in Nevada, they test experimental aircraft there.
Aliens are glad to see you upvoting this meme.
Didn't Snowden say he checked all the government databases and saw zero proof of aliens
Snowden didn't have access to every government database, lol. Even if he said he did, he's 100% full of shit, as there's this concept called Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). Extremely top secret info will be locked into SCI programs (although something that is in SCI doesn't necessarily HAVE to be top secret) meaning you do not have access unless you are read into that program. And no, you can't just willynilly hack the entire DoD SCI repository from a single location.
Worst comic I ever read
Presidents don't get that information. It's on a need-to-know proprietary basis only. I was in the Army in military intelligence and there was indeed a portal in our computer system regarding UFOs and aliens but I did not have access to it because it was not part of my job. The closest we've heard of Presidents knowing about aliens is when Bill Clinton pontificated about it on some late-night talk show.
I’ve been saying that since his dumb ass was elected lol
Well - didn't he try? If I am not wrong - the latest string of UFO / UAP reports started during the Trump presidency. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump was the one who asked the Pentagon to "show the people the aliens" - in hopes that it will change the nations focus from his own mental or moral disabilities. And the Pentagon has obliged - and showed people the aliens in all their glory. 👽
The result is that now we know much more about various optical illusions that happen in military binoculars, telescopes and such - than we did ever before.
Wait, so you're attributing things that were seen on scanners and with the naked eye of military pilots were optical illusions? Has this been confirmed with any credibility? Or are you using your "common sense"
Well - the videos don't look very persuasive to me, I am not an expert though. But judging from the same wikipedia article experts weren't impressed either... I mean even Pentagon itself comments that
"UAP probably lack a single explanation", and proposed five possible categories of explanation: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, US government or industry development technology, foreign craft, and an "Other" category
When you say aliens - I am thinking something like the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" - and all I got was learning about bokeh and paralax 😇
Yes he could, for money.
If any of it is true, he sold that information to the highest bidder.
Trump is not a good (if at all) businessman.
I mean anyone with a brain knew the area 51 alien story was bullshit. But I guess liberals need trump instead.

Agreed. One should always make fun of feckless fascists.
