Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Those stone soldiers should have made a world tour 25 years ago when they were declassified.

"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."

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..

[-] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

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.

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.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

I would consider The Onion several levels above a generic tabloid. Not even in the same class. Like, The Onion actually has class.

Tom Delonge(i think is the name from blink 182) must be super excited
