The lesson of this documentary, and of the age, should be, "It doesn't matter who says it, without evidence it is meaningless."

Many people cling to the absurd fantasy that those in power are better, smarter, and more knowledgeable than ourselves. This is absolutely false.

Hilary Clinton, for example, co-wrote a fictional thriller whose most interesting revelation was that she, as a former Secretary of State, had absolutely no idea, at a detail level, what composes a "dirty bomb", nor what the purpose of such a device would be (in addition to creating terror, it is "area denial").

The trope of "This guy worked for the military industrial complex and has secret knowledge of UFOs" is so overused in this genre that it has become ridiculous. If the dude has a piece of alien technology <i>in his hand</i> that we can examine in detail, then maybe he has something worth listening to. Otherwise it's just the same monstrous abuse of the gullible as the Jesus lie.

And video is no longer photography. It's data. That "tic tac" is not an image of an alien craft. It's data. With a glitch. It's not visual, and it's not analog. You just don't know how to properly interpret digital data in visual form.

I know you want to believe in something bigger, but until you realize the universe is fundamentally chaotic and there is a reason for absolutely nothing, you're never going to escape the prison of ignorance you have created for yourselves.
