The orbs turn into planes because the camera actually focuses on them dumbass

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 47 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So this is all just a remake of those "ghost orb" photos which is just out of focus dust lol

Ceci n'est pas une UFO

Reminds me of when one of the local news channels in my city did a story about how viewers were blowing up the station's phone claiming to see a ghost moving about in view of the station's outdoor weather camera. They did some investigating and it turned out a spider had built its web across the camera's lens. The "ghost" was in fact the spider showing up as an out-of-focus grey blob moving across the camera view.

It always comes from a "anonymous" "whistleblower" off fucking 4chan talking about underwater pyramids building UFOs and coming to abduct white people.

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have a VERY reliable anonymous source with definitive proof that the UFOs over New Jersey are actually just the Nintendo Switch 2. (I will post proof later, I promise.) /s

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait, your cousin works at Nintendo and totally told you the inside scoop, too?

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Its actually my girlfriend's dad. My girlfriend lives in Canada, and she already has a PlayStation 7, and she lets me play with it every time I go to Canada.

underwater pyramids building UFOs and coming to abduct white people.

With this kind of budget, this Stargate SG-1 reboot is gonna be off the chain

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately that budget was blown entirely on finding more ammo for their P90s. Totally worth it.

Is Charlie Kirk an insane conspiracist now? Didn’t he used to just be your run of the mill Shapiro type

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

They all are like this

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if the Shapiro types just aren't that popular any more/are losing their billionaire funding and this is Kirk's attempt to pivot to a new audience, so to speak.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It does seem like the Shapiros are losing steam in favor of the Alex Jones type. The next most popular are gaming streamers like Asmongold who do dumb guy centrism and allow the right-wing to guide them in their direction

Some are also just planes and helicopters with transponders off.

Was inevitable with modern smartphone cameras getting better zoom lenses. Now anyone can take a picture of these objects in the sky.

[–] Real_User@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just don't get how they're not tired of this. There's one of these at least once per year and every time The Big One never happens. You'd think that after a few times people would get sick of it and just tune out any future doomsdays but there's always an audience for the next one

[–] buh@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

it feels like they're desperately trying to relive the days of hysteria around Government Control during covid that swept up a lot of the less extreme conservatives

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

during covid that swept up a lot of the less extreme conservatives

it's funny because once the happenings actually started they insisted the disease was fake

we could have actual fucking gray aliens abducting people in front of our eyes and they'll think the aliens are fake, and that instead the FBI sprayed LSD in the chemtrails to MKultra their entire neighborhood

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The thing is I know quite a few conservatives (mostly family members and people I work with) who were initially scared about the news reports of covid deaths during January and February of 2020. Then Trump and RW media pundits made it clear what their stance on covid was, and they all fell in line saying it was fake or overblown.

These people are all told what to think.

i saw that video of "balls of light transforming into airplaines". it's literally a plane coming at the camera head on, so it looks like a white light, then it turns, so it looks like the white light is transforming into a plane when it's so far away and some shitty phone camera is zoomed all the way in

as far as all the drones go, i don't know but that video is clearly not what all these people were freaking out about

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Yeah, approaching planes with their landing lights on look like points of (relatively) stationary light when they're far away, but as they get closer the lights are angled away from your field of vision and are less intense, and it's obviously a plane.

I live near an airport and to this day I still mistake approaching planes for bright stars.

Does Erik ever break character as ironic Alex Jones? I'm not watching 20 minutes of that shit.

edit: I skipped ahead a bunch. He does not.

I swear the only way to get ppl to take facts seriously is going to be by presenting them as conspiracies at this point

[–] Tom742@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

America (western culture in general?) is quite literally reverting to superstition based analysis, all vibes no critical reasoning.

So, in all seriousness ( which is no fun), all of these drone flights are just some kind of training exercise the military is doing, right? It's not that hard to follow a drone to where it's landing.

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Or just mass hysteria
