Source: Sorry, But It’s Probably Not Aliens ~ article by Wes O'Donnell 06/09/2021 - American Military University EDGE.
Allow me to present the argument against alien visitors:
The Black Budget
First, the United States has been pouring tens of billions of dollars a year into the so-called black budget since at least 1947. That budget funds black projects that are classified top secret, not itemized, and are used for intelligence operations and super-secret advanced military technologies.
In fact, in March of 2019, President Trump announced a record-breaking $86 billion for the black budget for that fiscal year.
While I was in the U.S. Air Force in 2005, I had the opportunity to chat with a visiting employee from Skunk Works, Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP). When I jokingly asked him what he was working on, not expecting a true response, he became very serious and said, “All I can tell you, Wes, is that Star Wars isn’t just a movie.”
Remembering this conversation years later still makes me giddy with excitement about our troops wielding lightsabers in combat. However, it is much more likely that he was referring to advances in aerospace engineering.
In an interview with Popular Mechanics, the late Skunk Works chief Ben Rich said, “There are some new programs, and there are certain things, some of them 20 or 30 years old, that are still breakthroughs and appropriate to keep quiet about [because] other people don’t have them yet.”
Disinformation Campaigns by the US Air Force and Pentagon
Next, the U.S. Air Force and the Pentagon have a long and storied history of performing disinformation campaigns, often using the deep pop culture roots of UFOs to hide advances in aerospace technology. When national security is on the line, it’s better to have the public believe they saw a UFO than disclose the newest breakthrough.
A report by the New York Times in 1997 shows that the CIA and the Air Force promoted UFOs to cover up sightings of their U2 and SR-71 spy planes.
The mysterious men in black, unknown individuals in suits who show up after credible UFO sightings, are none other than members of the Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations. AFOSI is a cross between the CIA and the FBI; in fact, AFOSI was modeled after the FBI.
The first commander of AFOSI was former FBI special agent Joseph Carroll. Among AFOSI’s unique mission is the security of technology and information, intelligence gathering and threat assessment, mitigation and elimination.
That makes sense because, in an open society like ours, where the government cannot easily control the flow of public information, disinformation is the only viable option to maintain a degree of secrecy. For its part, the AFOSI is an expert at controlling information.
An Ideal Testing Environment
Finally, it is crucial to note the parameters of the sightings by the Nimitz crew off Baja and more recently off the U.S. East Coast.
Both crews were operating in a sanitized training environment. The aircraft were not armed because no aircrews were expecting a fight, and civilian traffic is largely diverted from active military ranges.
In addition, the Nimitz was fielding a massive new upgrade to an advanced radar system for the F/A-18 Super Hornet and also a new Cooperative Engagement Capability technology. That capability implemented datalink and sensor fusion technologies for the entire carrier group, which provided advanced fidelity in the radar picture.
Imagine taking radar and sensor data from all the ships and aircraft in a carrier group and combining it into a commanding real-time view of the battlefield. Such a massive upgraded system was being tested for the first time when the Nimitz had its first encounters with the now-famous tic tac UFO.
It occurs to me that a sanitized training environment and an incredible new sensor upgrade create an ideal testing condition to see if our own team can spot top secret, undisclosed aircraft.
Perhaps advanced US technology explains some sightings.

It seems to be the case here in Peru, this one incident at least.
On the other hand, the grays (and others?) are often said to be the culprits to abductions and UFO phenomenon. Probably the majority. No argument from me there.
I know the grays, heck I even wrote a thread on how they achieve their abductions by psychically taking over a location and controlling what people perceive within. This isn't how they operate.
I am still leaning to a splinter group of humans that has no real affiliation to one government, but is aligned with a non human agency. They have their own hidden base or bases. Abductions are just a way of replenishing their gene pool. Breeding stock, if you will.
Mutilations? Initiation of new recruits? A gang will sometimes require a new recruit to perform some horrendous ritualistic act to prove loyalty, and it serves as an act of dehumanising whilst also tying that person to the group.
The crew in collaboration with investigative journalist @joismantilla traveled to the Peruvian Amazon to investigate the alleged attacks that terrorized the community of San Antonio de Pintuyacu. What we learned is mind bending.
We’re still in Peru but we’re estimating four weeks out. Keep an eye out for @joisjoists as he will be featuring information much much sooner than we can. We’ll also be posting thoughts here as we process the whole experience.
A 60-yr-old man named Robert Ramírez Tangoa was found with his face and eyes completely removed in a difficult to reach part of Peru in 2022 -it requires a 5hr boat ride. No one has come to investigate his death.
there is an extraterrestrial presence in peru!!!! This 17 yr old boy was awoke to a skinny humanoid with armored skin, glowing eyes and "holes" all through its body. He also took UFO photos the evening this happened🛸...i will post more on this!
He sustained physical injuries and was very shaken in the interview. He and his whole family are witnesses including neighbors. They shot at a hovering UFO at the time of his encounter and his dad watched the ufo leave as he shot at it. It was hovering out side his bedroom
After approximately 10 years of recruitment, structuring, and self-examination, the Shining Path launched its war against Peruvian society in July 1980. Its goal is to destroy Peru's governmental and social institutions and replace them with a radical Marxist-Maoist regime.
Founded and led by Abimael Guzman, a former philosophy professor, the Shining Path has conducted a relentless campaign of violence and destruction for more than 12 years. It is responsible for the deaths of between 24,000 and 25,000. They have demonstrated that they will use all methods available and will strike any target to achieve their goals.
The Shining Path operates in mobile terrorist cells. These units are highly disciplined and are usually led by an experienced cadre commander. A veil of secrecy and a highly compartmentalized structure shields the group from infiltration by government informers and undercover agents.
Peru's Maoist Shining Path guerrilla movement, whose founder Abimael Guzman's body was cremated on Friday, is listed as a terrorist organization by the Lima government.
All but dismantled, a few members remain armed and active. This is an overview of the group blamed for tens of thousands of deaths.
- What is the Shining Path? -
The extremist rebel group was born from a split in the Peruvian Communist Party and rooted in the ideology of Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong.
Peru's post-conflict Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) described the group as a "subversive and terrorist organization" responsible for numerous crimes against humanity.

A bunch of news coming out of Peru.
First: US government issued do not travel warning to the area of Peru all these attacks are occurring. They blame crime and drug trafficking: Twitter link.
Second: face peeler attack in same region. Warning somewhat graphic: Twitter link.

Boy was injured. Family and neighbors witnessed. They shot at the UFO.
Crazy times in the Peru/Equador/Brazil region!
