Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
One of my seven grandpas said you should believe me because I’m a real swell dude
Ha! Three and a half parents! I knews aliens were real!
gay polycules were a thing in the 60s
Those stone soldiers should have made a world tour 25 years ago when they were declassified.

But why?
Proving our place in the cosmos only required regular evidence. That was extraordinary. Why is this subject on a separate pedestal?
Do you think our astronomical theories were developed on word of mouth, rumor, and “trust me bro?”
Yeah that’s not at all what I said.
And there is plenty of evidence/data that points to something out of the ordinary going on, plenty aside from word of mouth/rumor.
Show me he stoned soldiers.
Am I the only person left that can read? The question is, why is this line of thinking only applied to this subject?
Nope. Can’t read. You caught me.
Everyone wants to jump in and talk about semantics and very specific claims, and no one has answered a very simple question on why they think about this the way they do.
Everything is “paranormal” until it’s explained by science is what I’m trying to get at. Something is very clearly happening with this subject, and it has been systematically ridiculed or put in separate categories of thought and no one is stopping to ask why.
That’s all I’m getting at.
I shouldn’t have come at you like that, that was an asshole move. You’re just the next person to shrug it off instead of actually talk about it, so I took it out on you. Sorry for that.

That is my point entirely. It would just require evidence, just like anything else.

Proving our place in the cosmos already HAS extraordinary evidence. Our continued existence (and witness to that) IS the evidence. No one bar solipsists doubt that humans exist.
I meant the actual mapping of this planet in the universe as we know it as an example of something that changed how we view our place in the universe. It had regular evidence. We don’t need evidence+ for anything including this topic.
Because generally, if you’re making an extraordinary claim based on ordinary evidence, chances are the evidence actually points to something ordinary. You need extraordinary evidence that can’t be explained by something ordinary.
“A tabloid says the CIA says the KGB saw aliens turn people to stone. Also this is a news article on something that was declassified 25 years ago with no new developments.”
okay
idk ground.news says it’s very unbiased, so I think I’ve gotta believe it.

Why is it that anytime there is anything big, politically or otherwise, happening in the US there is magically talk of UFOs and aliens. Oh, I think I just answered my own question…
Obviously because the aliens get intrigued and the mass influx of intergalactic reality TV show fans causes an increase in sightings which causes a butterfly effect of relevant information to come to light. Duh.
Flood the zone with shit.

Literally any and every other thing that’s actually going in the world.

Trump basically told the Supreme Court they could go fuck themselves. That seems big.
It’s big, but is it news? Can he hold a coherent thought for more than six seconds? Tariffs on, tariffs off, tariffs paused, tariffs resumed, 25%, 10%, 45%, 124%, 0%, aaaand repeat.
This story has been around for a bit. Probably a bit of absurd misinfo the intelligence agencies circulated to fuck with each other.
How is this “not the Onion”? This isn’t the kind of stuff The Onion prints.
I would consider The Onion several levels above a generic tabloid. Not even in the same class. Like, The Onion actually has class.

Make what you want of it. Strange detail at the top: “Document 199 of 54” - wut?

Uh, Canadian Weekly World News was like the Inquirer. Edit: maybe I’m remembering the name “The Inquirer” wrong, but in any case it was tabloid schlock
This is a made up story from the 90s.

That’s nice dear. This is the CIA website archive of a previously classified document.
This is the CIA confirming the reporting of said tabloid.
If you mean “confirmed” in that it shows that the CIA knew this article had been written and kept a copy, then yes.
Or if you mean they are confirming the contents of the article, well yeah, I guess they are confirming that this russian(?) newspaper wrote about an article some tabloid rag wrote, then yeah, I guess that’s true, too.
But if you’re saying they’re confirming the contents of whatever the Canadian world weekly news might have written, then no, not by any means is this file a confirmation of that.
CWWN made up a story that involved soviets; Ternopil Vechirniy picked it up and wrote their own piece on it; the CIA kept a copy. That’s it.

Look above that. It says the full text is a reprint from a Soviet newspaper. The line you’re quoting as being confirmation comes from a Russian/Ukrainian newspaper, not the CIA. The hint is the “authoritative” in the description of “Canadian weekly world news”.

Tom Delonge(i think is the name from blink 182) must be super excited
“five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes” sorry but this is just the lazy alien you gotta do better
Blasted Medusaians! They took the phrase rock hard the wrong way. So touchy about being shot down.
