The government doesn't know, it has no real responsibility or right to know, and it says it doesn't know. People extrapolating that into ridiculous theories cannot really be pinned on the government.
Next up: "I saw a shadow in the woods near my house and the government said they have no clue what it is!!!!"
You, an allegedly levelheaded person: "Well nature abhors a vacuum! It's a failure to lead not to have answers to such questions!"
No, that's actually not a levelheaded take.
If you don't enforce laws/proper behavior/provide safety, you get vigilanties. If you don't provide answers, people go looking, and gullible people settle for the first thing they find.
That’s why I’m being aggressive against this same “errr well yah know the government should have answers!” bullshit you’re purveying right here.
Here the government said 'the United States Coast Guard mistook some 747s far away for 12 drones following their boat and if it wasn't planes then actually we assessed the 12 drones and found they aren't a threat, we don't know what they are, whose they are, or were they came from' and expected people to just go, hmm, ok, nevermind then.
Nature abhors a vacuum. Government is there to help control/direct what it gets filled with when it's a societal one.
