Can we send them MAGA? Would that be seen as a hostile act?

Self-styled Pentagon whistleblower and former US Army counterintelligence officer Luis "Lue" Elizondo showed off a peculiar image of what appeared to be a gigantic, disc-shaped object floating hundreds of feet above the ground, during a House Oversight and Accountability Committee meeting this week.

The briefing, which took place on Thursday, was hosted by the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Fund, a nonpartisan political advocacy group "committed to uncovering the truth about UAPs," a less-stigmatized term used by government officials to refer to UFOs. Also present at the meeting was Harvard professor and noted UFO hunter Avi Loeb....



"This was taken by a civilian pilot," Elizondo claimed during the meeting. "But again, you'd think this information would be important for somebody to look at," he added, while holding up a printout of the image.

According to Elizondo, "an average person with an average camera" took the photo at "21,000 feet."

"The object is potentially anywhere between 600 and 1,000 feet in diameter," he added. "It's a lenticular object, and it is silver." ...

They're real, and they're here!!!

Oh wait . . .

At first glance, it does indeed look like an alien ship from a Hollywood movie. But as eagle-eyed users on Reddit quickly pointed out, Elizondo's purported smoking gun has a hilariously simple explanation. On the platform's otherwise conspiracy theory-friendly r/UFOs community, user mattperkins86 traced back the satellite image to two adjacent, perfectly circular fields, with the nearer, much darker one perfectly lining up to look like the second circle's shadow.

The two circles, located an hour east of Colorado Springs, can be spotted on Google Earth here.

Just the 2 episodes. S1.E5., S3.E13.

If you're being serious it's worth watching all 7 seasons. IMO one of the greatest TV dramas ever made. I saw most of it when it first aired. Aaron Sorkin is a genius. Then, my mom had taped all of it. After I moved to NC we watched it together.
