Idk why these people are all denying these uaps when the government has literally come out and confirmed they are their videos and confirmed they they do not know what they are.

They're probably just trolling to anger others. Or truly ignorant of the confirmations.

I think a lot of the people that completely write the UAPs off as a hoax, or dismiss them as a mistake, are at least slightly scared by the implications of what these observations could mean.

The UAPs seem to break our understanding of the laws of physics, and our military and intelligence communities seem to be genuinely stumped by them. Even if these craft are being controlled by an unknown government or group of humans, it is still terrifying that they managed to make such advancements while hiding them from the rest of the world.

I have always been pretty skeptical. I won't even try to begin to claim I know what these things are, or where they come from. Despite that, the evidence that they exist is getting pretty hard to deny.

I just can't think of another reason why so many people want to mock and avoid the topic, besides fear and angst. This could be one of the biggest discoveries or paradigm shifts of our entire history as a species, with or without aliens being involved.

The most likely scenario is von Neumann probes IMO.

I would bet on the same.

Btw, if you are the og Poem_for_your_sprog from reddit, I just want to say thanks for the beautiful poems. You always made the comment section better.

For the person who downvoted, what's your reason why? I'm honestly curious.
