Guess he took it personally that no one went full tinfoil mode and, in fact, made fun of the subject. [:D]
Well, not so much the root subject itself, as much as the YouTube dude's content and using that as some kind of source.
I well recall the frenzy over UFOs back in the 1970s and 80s. Everything from Chariots of the Gods, Close Encounters of the Third Kind to the TV series Project Blue Book seemed to reflect the manic popularity of belief in alien visitation. Then of course you had the X-files in the 1990s which many people mistook for some sort of documentary series.
However, it seems like the very moment every citizen was armed with a mega-pixel camera far easier and quicker to use than any vintage 35mm model, the sightings began to dry up. We have more motion video of large meteorites streaking across Russian skies caught live than I though possible. But so far no video of Billy Bob live streaming a saucer landing in his back forty through Twitch through his I-phone, and also posting videos of his hanging out with the aliens on his YouTube page, garnering millions of hits. I also noticed that Bigfoot has also taken to being camera shy lately. (Which has led to Bigfoot enthusiasts claiming he has some sort of natural invisibility)
One common explanation is that that E.T. is just plain done with us. They've abducted enough folks to satisfy their curiosity about our anatomies. The Cold War has ended, and so has their fascination with our nuclear missile silos. So maybe they've just declared "mission accomplished," and gone away. That would be analogous to Charles Darwin's visit to the Galapagos Islands. After he probed, bottled, and cataloged some of the natives, he weighed anchor and withdrew.
However, I think what is more likely is as technology improved, the number of enticing candidate sightings went down. In science-speak, the false alarm rate decreased. It wasn't because any aliens stopped visiting or broadcasting. It was because we stopped being as easily duped or mistaken.
Call me cynical and skeptical, but barring a bigger breakthrough (which these Navy videos aren't) I'm done with it.
Which takes us back to needing really compelling evidence that no one is trying to suppress before we can say for sure that it happened. Of course, one could always claim that time travel makes it possible for aliens to revisit the planet and remove any evidence they previously left behind ... [;)][sm=innocent0009.gif]
