I just watched "Mirage Men", which you can see for free on YouTube. I recommend it. Its a documentary about UFOs, and, I think its one of the best I've ever seen from that genre. Here's why. Mirage Men explores the UFO phenomenon in a way that I think is much more honest and revealing than any other. It exposes the government's role in cultivating the "buzz" of UFO mythology by way of a variety of disinformation programs. Basically, the government would plant materials, the proverbial "files" with "top secret" labels and all that to certain people within the UFO community. This "information" would in turn make it rounds and, basically, create myths.
When I was in the Marines, our Ops officer took us for a run in the woods. We were all in a single file, because the trail was so narrow. He was at the front I was with my Platoon somewhere in the middle. About half way through, the guy in front of me look back and said something like "orange flavored pizza basketball" and then said pass it along, which I did. Puzzled, I said "orange flavored, what?" "Um orange flavored tennis racket, pass it along" to the guy behind me. The run ended and the Ops officer goes "I said red corvette". The point the good Ops officer was trying to make is that its VERY easy for a message to be corrupted especially when its pasted between people. There is relevance here to the above.
The agents that produced disinformation would engender such a dynamic within the UFO community. They could release a piece of disinformation and by the time it made it through the community it had morphed into something bigger and more grandiose than before. Instead of just Roswell all of a sudden there were dozens of UFO crashes. I saw this happen in the 90s.
The movie ends with a retired agent, who admits to all of this disinformation, saying he actually did see films of a crash with aliens and all that. And for a moment, you wonder, oh sh*t, this is true. But, then again you realize this is coming from the same person that basically lied for a living for years.
What "Mirage Men" reveals is not that aliens are among us, rather, it reveals how superstition and mythology are created. Indeed, the government is involved with UFOs, that much is true. But, far more interesting to the government and our elites is to understand and study how mythology is created.
Think about it. The UFO phenomenon is a myth that manifested itself throughout our lifetime. It started in the 50s, when big metallic flying objects became more common sights with the Air Force and commercial aviation and even space and has since morphed into aliens are responsible for bio-engineering primates to make them into human beings. That last part is not an exaggeration, that was disinformation planted to a reporter. You see, it actually has its own creation story.
In the full context of what is going on today, as we realize that our "free" society is not really free and that we're very much under the control of elites, one can appreciate the interest to control myths and to understand the dynamics of how myths are created and propagated throughout society. To me that's the real message with "Mirage Men".
As far as aliens and UFOs, I don't believe in them. Is there life out there? Probably. But, as one person in the movie stated, "they have the technology to fly 50,000 light years to hear and then they crash"? And, okay, interstellar travel is hazardous, I get it, and one crash, I can see that. But for dozens of crashes? What kind of retard aliens are these? Of course, as we know such travel is basically impossible.
So, no, I do not believe in this. A far more believable thing is for a government and elite class to want to know how to start and manipulate mythology. That's a lot more likely and I think we see evidence of that all over the place.
