I have no doubts about it being a psyop.  UFOlogy was one of the CIA's go to themes early on, for social engineering and to coverup their activities, some very horrific activities to say the least. (project paperclip/MKULTRA, then the supposedly kinder gentler Stargate project).  I have submissions on the subject of the degree to which pop "culture" was introduced and reinforced by CIA activities.  No reason to think that has changed, especially now that I just saw the Tucker interview with Louis Elizondo, and Tucker stuck to the psyop script.  Very transparent, a government op or a big hoax with a reveal like War of the Worlds historical radio report. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/680562/Alien-UFOs-Luis-Elizondo-Pentagon-program-AATIP  https://dpo.tothestarsacademy.com/  Christopher Mellon is an advisor to this fund raising "Public Benefit Corporation" looking to collaborate with global citizens....  His opinion piece in WAPO was in OUTLOOK and PERSPECTIVE To The Stars Academy reportedly helped with some sci fi technology aspects of the movie Bladerunner 2049 (produced by Uranium One and Clinton Global Initiative's Frank Giustra BTW) .  A movie I liked very much, but it certainly is a post America movie. Perhaps the outcome of the latest UFO 'phenom' by 2049 will be to sell tickets for masses of people to strike out 'off world' and become pioneers of the galaxy, (The Passangers movie), and eventually tourism will flourish.  With a trip that takes purportedly takes 125 years to complete and email takes 80 years, no one will look for them! The result?  A lot less need for war, unless we find, as a activist ONE WORLD UNited, planet, that there is hate and social injustice across the galaxy that needs protesters or even troops!  Population control, having been a challenge for elites for so long, will no longer be an issue.  People will happily go to The Island (movie) and people can be promised anything. While I've only started looking deeper into the recent rash of UFOlogy courtesy of Mellon and Elizondo, (or other youtube sites), one thing that stood out, Mellon's comments about wanting a central figure to force collaboration of intel to work towards UFO research "the task needs to be assigned to an official with the clout to compel collaboration among disparate and often quarrelsome national security bureaucracies."  And a big budget too!  Is this the CIA rebranding themselves; putting their resumes out there?  Or just recruiting? https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/2440799 Of interest: 7D Holograms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqboujtUk4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMPnuje_bfA
