        Kinda like how the government hires people to put terrible music over all the UFO footage so we perceive it as crazy people stuff.

      Not at all. I’m responding to OP, and while my comment is informative and sourced so that other people can understand it too, I do not care at all that my in-kind response turns some people off.

        Thanks, trusting wikipedia because it has a “source”(, as if a source meant the truth 🙄,) is super weird, and i’ll also add that a lot of sources are inaccessible anyway, such as those pointing to books. Wikipedia will hopefully(, in part because it’s always a mistake to pretend knowing “the one truth”,) be replaced one day, it’s long overdue.

          The inaccessibility of many wiki sources is a very good point, thanks.

          I think Wikipedia serves its purpose as a broad strokes indicator of things that are likely significant in some way, but its limitations are as important as its content.
