Ok the fact that they found an actual patent for the cube in the sphere UFO is just hilarious.

This whole thing is just genius on so many levels. Exploit the stigma about aliens by constructing small drones and make them appear wacky beyond belief to guarantee they'll go unreported. Exploit the radar filters for small and slow moving craft with motionless soft balloons. And it worked brilliantly.

Secret government projects involving combat with mysterious floating octahedra from the coast? Where have I seen this before?
It seems like the government is way better at disinformation than it is about demonstrating competence. Like most governments in history. For the platinum plated price, we should expect more, though.

> I believe that those in power who snicker about credible reports of strange objects in the sky and stymie research into them, including access to classified data, have become a threat to national security themselves. Their lack of imagination, curiosity, and creativity appears to have built a near-perfect vacuum that our enemies could exploit and likely have exploited to an astonishing degree.
