    Many reasons for this:

    • Westernern governments don’t admit that they spy on their people, so when Westerners spot government drones they go unidentified.

    • Global South authorities have less tolerance for bullshit, so reports get ignored more often

    • Westerners are just bad at identifying flying objects (see recent news) so a higher proportion of flying objects go unidentified.

    • Alien ships use particles from their cognitive dissonance emitters to generate a cloaking field. They’re not technically invisible, but they invoke the power of cognitive dissonance to cause otherwise rational minds to completely ignore what’s in front of them. Unfortunately Westerners are already so oversaturated with mental contradictions that they emit their own particles which disrupt the alien technology and lower the cloaking effect.

      According to the article this came from, the sightings are reported through the National UFO Reporting Center, a Washington state based organization. Reports are made through an English-based online form.

      This is absolutely true. Even beyond the balloon insanity, people routinely take for granted the skill it takes to identify things that are high in the atmosphere, or far out on the horizon. Those who wish to believe in aliens are likley to say a military pilot must be too technically skilled of a person to be fallible, but this is an appeal to the authority of, and the paternalism of, grandady Military.

      Meanwhile some experts can actually recreate the anomolies that the military are apparently baffled by.
