Disturbing Trend on Posts

Has anyone else noticed a suspicious pattern in UFO/alien encounter threads?

Every time someone posts a genuinely interesting UFO sighting, alien encounter, or credible witness account, the comments section follows the same predictable script. Within minutes, the thread is flooded with dismissive jokes, condescending skepticism, and bad-faith arguments that have nothing to do with the actual content. Legitimate questions get buried. Witnesses get mocked. The conversation dies.

This isn’t organic. Normal skepticism looks like engagement — asking clarifying questions, examining evidence, offering alternative explanations. What actually happens in these threads is something different: it’s coordinated deflection. The goal isn’t to disprove anything, it’s to make the topic feel embarrassing to discuss at all.

It’s hard not to connect the dots. The Military Industrial Complex has a long, documented history of active disinformation campaigns — COINTELPRO, Operation Mockingbird, the Robertson Panel’s explicit recommendation to debunk UFO reports to prevent public interest from growing. These aren’t conspiracy theories, they’re declassified history.

Is it really a stretch to think that in 2026, with cheap labor and bot farms readily available, some coordinated effort exists to monitor platforms like Reddit and suppress genuine discussion? Flood the comments, downvote the posts, make believers look like cranks — it costs almost nothing and it works.

I’m not saying every skeptic is a plant. But the pattern is too consistent to ignore. Pay attention next time a compelling thread goes up. Watch how fast the tone shifts. Then ask yourself who benefits from keeping this topic on the fringe

What is going on with the moderation lately?

We used to be allowed to be skeptical. Now mentioning that someone is releasing a book, or pointing out blatant LLM misinformation is against the rules.

Does the sub allow skepticism or not? Can we not point out when someone (with evidence) lacks foundational knowledge on something they are purporting to be an expert on, without it being considered uncivil?

The entire sub has devolved into LLM, AI psychosis posting, and brown nosing public figures. All the noise has drowned out any reasonable discussion, and actual UFO/UAP recordings.

Disappointing.

Is the Subreddit being flooded with fake videos?

I’ve seen this constantly this week. Someone posts a sensational-looking video with zero attribution for where they got it, a low effort description and an attempt to sound curious. “Thoughts 🤷‍♂️?” “Do you think this is something 👉😊🤨👈”

Maybe it’s my algorithm, but it feels like it’s more common than usual. Be discerning everyone. Don’t feed the trolls your upvotes.
