I noted this back in February 2021, but I still find it remarkable how it's mainly the Right which is now showing gullibility on UFO matters. It's all of a piece with the MAGA Right becoming generally paranoid about the "Deep State", and swallowing whole conspiracies about Big Science on climate change and COVID, when back in the 60's, 70's and (possibly?) 80's, anti-establishment paranoia was mainly a thing of the Left.
Anyhow, now on Twitter publicity is being give to a curious, month old case of a Las Vegas family appearing to have been scared by (what they thought was) large, bug eyed aliens appearing in their backyard (after a meteor or something appeared in the sky.)
Lots and lots of scepticism is deserved, and being expressed, about the lack of photos or video by the family of what was spooking them in the yard. But even more than that, the police arrive, go in the backyard, and apparently say nothing else significant about what was there, and what was on their bodycam.
But the son put up another video from his bedroom, summarising what happened. Can't find a link to it now.
Why wouldn't there be journalists crawling over glass to get an interview with the parents? Why wouldn't the family be open to showing others the ring on the ground that the son claims as evidence that something landed there? Why aren't there more videos of the apparent bright meteor type light over Las Vegas that night??
None of this makes any sense whatsoever.
That's what makes it sort of intriguing - although chances are, of course, that it will turn out to be a whole set of mis-perceptions running riot within fervid imaginations. [I'm kind of leaning against outright fraud - because it would be unusual for all four family members to participate in it. If it was fraud, it would more likely be from just one or two, who managed to draw their parents into panicking without seeing anything.]
