I like an Inter-dimensional being as much as the next man but the flaky pictures of something that looks like a bumblebee in the lens isn't exactly convincing. I mean a tic tac as large as double-Decker bus really takes some swallowing especially when the Hi-Def equipped fighter jets take footage that looks like it was filmed on a toaster.

On the strength of contrived, grainy images produced at a time when the US military has the latest, greatest, highest definition cameras, the average American is easily stupid enough to surrender their tax money and dive headlong into an arms race with non-existent aliens.

On the plus side, maybe this means that the propaganda for a new Cold War with Russia and/or China isn't working if they have to both up the stakes AND leave the door open to saying later our real enemy is ET.
