I am trying to keep an open mind.

In my book, weird is wonderful and mysterious is marvelous. How boring life would be without a few mysteries to solve.
And don't be sad for our country alone. The world is full of folks that believe all kinds of bs. Our country is no more immune than any other.
Maybe one day, if we survive, humans may run out of things to stir our imagination, but I don't think so.

UFO existence (or not) has for at least the past century been the playground for wackos. Reports of alien abductions seem to follow a general pattern: artists' conceptions of the technology of the aliens, as of the time of the report, always seem to reflect the technology of the time. Example: I watched The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951 version) last night. Fascinating how the view screen in Klaatu's space ship looked like, and fired up the same way as the televisions of the time, and anything and everything assumedly electronic was represented in flashing lights and escalating beeps. I have little doubt that the reports of alien contact at the time, and for some time after, looked pretty much the same.

How many such "reports" are factual only in the fevered minds of the person(s) doing the reporting?

Nevertheless, if there have been (say) 10,000 such reports and only one is true--then the other 9,999 don't really matter.

Time can be better spent investigating why clothes driers collect lint that has to be manually removed, and not chemically disintegrated instead.

I don't know about "disintegrated", but I think incinerated is very possible. However, using "bug zapper" technology to incinerate lint would likely leave some kind of ash residue, the smoke/gas given off may be toxic, and there would be concerns for safety and energy usage. Not worth the trouble, imo. If you really don't want to use your fingers, use a small hand vacume to suck the lint off the screen. Just a thought.

The point: Time and taxpayer dollars can be better spent by government on ridiculously mundane issues of no real importance, rather than on "uncovering" a "conspiracy" of space alien orb farms under the ocean surface.

I have been fortunate to have seen, heard, smelled things I could not identify. Sometimes it is exciting. Sometimes it is frightening...

Forget the orb farms. If Isreal is our friend, how about letting us get some Jewish space lasers for our military. And what are the orbs good for? Tech? Food? Energy? Why won't anyone tell us any anything? Inquiring minds want to know, dagnabbit! 🤬

You wouldn't be able to control the weather in California with it but you should be able to water your lawn every 2nd day with 15 minutes of rain, and add a shield to the atmosphere over your head for when everyone else's hurricanes and tornadoes start coming through.

Whatcha say hm?

They are also advanced enough to make this trip but are so scared of us that they do not make contact. Then there is the lack of proof, with approximately 15 billion cellphones in the world that can capture everything in our life in clear color both as still pictures and video but there is not one clear undeniable picture or video ever presented. As for the conspiracies that governments are keeping things secret, that means that not one of the thousands of people in the government and outside contractors has not come forward with undeniable proof, just saying something is not proof, that all of the governments around the world are in cahoots to keep this information secret. Someone in the last 75 years would have needed or wanted to get rich by being the first to put this proof out and cash in. :shrug:
