I spend atleast an hour each week trying to convince my mom UFOs are almost always light reflecting off shit. It's been 20 years. When people believe in the mystery more than the reality it's hard to change their minds.
Today was "But your uncle saw 3 lights in a triangle pattern over the golf course and they just disappeared!" ... The golf course just off to the side of the flight path of a major international airport. Said golf course is on a hill with a river at the bottom. It was a plane landing or taking off ffs.
My conservative aunt, a registered nurse, still believe that if women eat cottage cheese enough when pregnant they can influence the outcome of the gender.
“Something to do with the lactic acid” or some shit.
Anyways, my repeated assertions, backed by her license and degree and testing she took (and one of her text books I pulled of her shelf) that shows that chromosome is deposited by the male … well.
It’s no wonder she also believes that “empty oil wells refilling” isn’t actually “improved technology making that bit that wasn’t economically viable before now economically viable” and/or high pressure seepage but rather “the hand of god providing for his people”
Anyways. She doesn’t get my delicious turkey this year, they aren’t coming … something to do with being a little bitch.
UFO believers in 2026 are somewhat hilarious to me. You mean to tell me we have thousands of ultra high resolution satellites around the globe, every airspace is fully mapped for security reasons, we are actively working on astronomy for the entire observable universe, measuring gravitational waves from things millions of lightyears away, and you think we'd miss some alien airplanes hovering in our clouds?
