From the top:
- after WWII, many military contractors bid on big boondoggle research projects - to “make sure we are on top if there’s another world war.” Preemptive Manhattan Projects.
- Witnesses reported seeing strange flying lights at night - these aerospace research projects in action.
- Science Fiction had already dabbled in UFO ideas.
- To prevent the Ruskies from figuring out what we were up to, the US military deliberately leaked fake reports of “crash landed UFOs.”
- The US military then pretended to cover up these leaks.
- The UFO believers took over the situation, and produced so much noise the Russians could no longer track what research we were actually doing.
And the UFO cult was born…
