A lack of evidence isn't proof of nothing.
Nothing is harder to prove than anything.

The underwater shit, especially the going into and leaving the water shit, that is really interesting as fuck.

Having seen at least a few government declared ‘UFOs’ that are clearly camera artifacts or perspective issues, I’ve come to the conclusion they’re playing dumb and purposefully claiming they can’t identify things as counter intelligence.

I would agree the governments of the world can't be trusted in almost anything. This matter is no different.

But the plethora of videos from phones, that is another matter

Governments are not capable enough to actually be hiding anything really significant.

Was this part of the US Military Jade Helm operation which included secret Walmart tunnels to bring the Chinese military into Texas, as part of The UN’s Agenda 21 plan to steal America’s golf courses?

Except for those stealth aircraft they were flying around the world for like twenty years before they showed them off.

Oh, and the secret airbase they tested them from. And the bombing of Cambodia. And the atomic weapons. And those stealth submarines.

And like a thousand other things. But aside from that ...

Those were secrets?
That'll be news to all guys who already knew.

I don't think it's particularly controversial to say that the government lies about shit at all. I knew a guy who released a weather balloon with a flashlight or something similar, watched it all night, there was nothing else up there, called in about it, got told there were air force tests going on. There were not. They just didn't want to deal.

But that doesn't make me think there's anything particularly secret or exciting going on.

That's exactly what the Government wants you to believe.

It is always fascinating that people think that "The Government" could give a flying fuck what you believe, or don't.

Gotta say, "guy who believes anything Elon Musk tells him" is not where I go for high-quality evaluations of credibility.
