Remember when Australia was on fire?
Think of the number of absurdly dramatic events that have unfolded over the last few months; the U.S. and Iran almost
went to war, the coronavirus pandemic swept across the globe, sparking a potential
economic recession (and causing mass addiction to Animal Crossing), while in East Africa,
swarms of locusts the size of cities plague the land. It’s all getting a bit … biblical.
Amongst the endless chaos, the President of the United States casually muses on the possibility of
injecting disinfectant into the human body. Rather than being a career-ending blunder, it’s just
another skit on Saturday Night Live.
This is our new normal, and it’s far stranger than fiction, stupider than fan fiction, more ridiculous and on-the-nose than any dodgy Roland Emmerich disaster movie. Now that the month is coming to an end, we’re due another world-shaking event, and an alien invasion seems to fit the apocalyptic theme.
Thus, the Pentagon officially released
three unclassified videos taken by Navy pilots of UFOs. To clarify, nobody is claiming the footage shows alien spacecraft, but merely clarifying that the footage is legitimate and the subject is unknown.
Even more bizarre, is that the footage was first
published by the New York Times in 2017, leaked by Tom DeLonge, the whiny-voiced former band member of Blink-182, through his UFO research organization, “To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science.”
Anyone who listened to DeLonge’s
excruciating appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience knows he’s a bit of an eccentric,
further clarified by current Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, who claims that he and DeLonge used to “get high and look for UFOs” out of their tour bus window.
But the strangest thing about the footage, is that in the context of 2020, it almost seems boring. You’d think the Pentagon officially releasing UFO footage would break the internet (all it used to take was a photo of Kim Kardashian’s bottom), but nowadays, the internet has become jaded to all but the most Earth-shattering event.
The footage has inspired a few memes here and there, sure, but otherwise, the unidentified flying object hardly seems to have made a dent in pop culture; a collective shrug seems to be the general response. Although, only the most hardcore alien obsessives and Area 51-invaders seem to believe that the footage shows an actual alien spacecraft.
After all, if the government was genuinely hiding the existence of otherworldly visitors, I’m pretty sure that Trump would have blurted it out by now.
