I made no such claims of validating any quacks or quackery, as a careful reader would recognize. What is your agenda in misrepresenting what I wrote?

To clarify the point; the fact that a former president commented on the UAPs at all was remarkable. To expand, even the existence and decades long cover up Area 51 and the proven things that have come from those programs (like the f-117) are examples of the .1% of “conspiracy” quackery that did happen to be true.

I maintain these types of things are the gateway or hook that draw people deeper into conspiracies, but I’m no expert.



Both Clinton and Trump have discussed UFOs in recent memory, so not that remarkable. But, anyway, I guess I prefer listening to people with a greater than 0.1% accuracy rate.
