How the whole thing feels like
I think these forces behind the ufo and aliens narrative are intentionally culturally coding the topic to be silly as to encourage dumb people to believe in it while driving away all the smart people.
Dumb people are more likely to be gullible and take things for granted without asking many questions. The whole disclosure movement and the ufo narrative was setup from the beginning since Roswell to condition us to be aware of these things so that when the time is ready for a full reveal it wouldn't cause a mass crisis on earth. They seem to not be fully hidden, and all of these flyover events are just psyops done to test human reactions and bring more awareness. I highly doubt intelligent beings capable of interstellar travel would make such a rookie mistake and "accidentally" crash their craft into the earth in 1947. It "crashed" on purpose to plant a seed for the entire narrative to start to get us talking about it and to test how we'd react to such a scenario.
It also is being made apparent that the disclosure movement is all entirely human effort, but I think that's all an illusion and is part of the plan. We are going to get disclosure regardless if we advocate for it or not. We didn't decide to push for disclosure, we were allowed to push for it. Eventually, there's going to be more and more evidence being declassified to bring more and more people to the believer side.
I believe the entire goal of this is that ET's don't want humans to have certain types of technology because it could pose a threat to their existence. They've already seen us nuke ourselves twice and fight many wars, so why should we be trusted with tech that could instantly reach other star systems? As a result they end up killing anyone who discovers this technology and tries to reveal it to the public. This is similar to how the US doesn't allow Iran to have nuclear weapons because they see them as a threat to their existence based on what they know about them, and if they try to enrich uranium, the US bombs their facilities.
The fact that aliens don't immediately wipe us out or reveal themselves to us to tell us that they exist and that they're controlling scientific progress would mean they care about our existence to an extent. They don't want us to have certain technology but also don't want us to have a mass crisis that could lead to us destroying ourselves. Maybe they have empathy? I mean, we fight a lot of wars and kill each other and yet I don't think we'd wipe out another planet with intelligent life on it if we had the option to. It's hard to say this considering scientists and whistleblowers are being killed, but I think if these aliens were aggressive enough to invade us they would've been busy fighting their own wars going extinct.
All I know is, if they really wanted to hide from us, we wouldn't know about this phenomena at all, yet we do, and we're becoming increasingly more aware of it over time at an exponential rate.
