Seriously, I doubt it would even take that long. We get used to shit so quickly, and the news cycles have to keep feeding us new things, the only way we’d keep talking about the aliens if they kept doing new and interesting things. I’d be willing to bet a year later there would be some people who straight up forgot about it. “Oh yeah, aliens! Are they gonna, like, visit at some point or just keep exchanging calls with the Whitehouse?”

      Ok I know you have the s but I’m legitimately so confused. Last month people were actually talking about how scientists said that it’s likely aliens have been living among us for a long time. And didn’t the white house make some big alien announcement a while back??

      Am I losing it or is this whole thread just a big joke on how those announcements went nowhere
