Well no.

It went more like this:

Does HN really believe in UFOs? Let's assume for the time being no.

Is the sudden influx of UFO articles then based on HN popularity or is there a campaign to introduce this content (these campaigns are common, although I do not know how popular on HN)? Let's assume for now that the articles are part of a campaign.

What group with what motivation would benefit from said articles. My first thought here was in fact TLAs/spooks. But only on entertaining the hypotheticals.

A 'viral campaign' for a UFO movie is also pretty reasonable, IMO.

If you were to entertain the two hypotheticals, what would you think?
