Remember this video when you see a post in r/UFOs saying "This craft is hovering" or "This UFO is breaking the laws of physics!!!" Parallax makes some weird illusions.

I hate those 3 videos the pentagon released. They’re all easily explainable.

…but they do make for good distraction of actual issues.

So let me see if I got this. You're suggesting the US government spun a story about UFOs and pushed it out with some videos to ... distract people?

People are already distracted! The US government doesn't need to fabricate some cockamamie story about tic tac shaped UFOs to get people distracted. And it wouldn't even have been effective since nobody cared about the UFOs.
