I'm not laughing. Who is? Google the story. See if 90% of the sites running it are UFO sites.
And who cares who owns what, a tabloid is a tabloid. we have brains, we should have working BS detectors as well. It's about rushing to judgement, inventing connection where there are none to support your own preconcieved dogma.
The vast majority of alien related stories turn out to be fakes, over and over again. Yet, the believer tells me that doesn't matter! That I'm not open minded.
Why? Because I can actually learn from experience?

I also believe the truth was exagerated, but lets just consider this:
The MSM tells us the UN appointed the malasyan astrophysicist to coordinate responses in case we are eventually contacted by extra terrestrials.
Then the MSM tells us that ain't true and we treat the first information we got from MSM as a hoax.
So, suppose another scenario. People here are claiming for disclosure. Suppose disclosure happens tomorrow. Who is going to tell us about it? The MSM. If the day after tomorrow they caim it ain't true, are we also gonna just believe it and call it a hoax?
My point is, do you believe in the MSM or not? Do you choose WHEN to believe in them? How many people treat the MSM as liars but are always believing in everything they report?
Just some food for thought.
