I was recently sent an FBI file as evidence that UFOs are real and suggestive that aliens/life forms from another planet have visited Earth. You can click on the link to see for yourself. It is a real document from the FBI. Of course it's not readable which adds to the conspiracy.
UFOs are real. There are flying objects that people cannot identify, making those flying objects unidentified. You cannot prove that UFOs have or haven't visited Earth. And if you think the government is lying or covering up a conspiracy, then there is no way to falsify that belief. But if you are skeptical, logical, and scientific, you will agree that there isn't any reliable evidence that other lifeforms have visited Earth using a flying object during human's recorded history.
I don't want to spend too much time on this because I doubt the intended audience will either read it or considered the ideas.
Anyone who wants to have a serious talk about UFOs needs to consider the scientific explanations for UFOs and conspiracy theories in general.
One of my academic idols is Michael Shermer, and he loves the topics of UFOs and conspiracy theories. He had three UFO authors on his podcast recently. Here are the episodes I would recommend. I'd watch or listen to them in the order I shared.
Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO
The youtube video below starts ~24.5 minutes which is when the UFO discussion picks up. The guest/author is a religious scholar who was a ufologist. Dr. Halperin shares fascinating theories about Men in Black, witch hunts, and Atlantic Slave Trade's connections to UFOs.
American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology
Dr. Diana Pasulka is also a religious scholar.
They Are Already Here: UFO Culture and Why We See Saucers
The youtube video below starts at ~31 minutes which is most relevant to the FBI files, and they talk discuss it for about 15-20 minutes. The guest/author is a science journalist.
