The hypothesis of alien vessels will not have held long, but it will have made noise. Monday, February 13, asked about the possibility that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) destroyed above the United States and Canada were sent by extraterrestrials, the commander of the American aerospace forces, General Glen Vanherck, explained “n ‘Having removed nothing at this stage. ” Three days later, the White House and the intelligence agencies reveal and declared that “the most plausible explanation [would be] that these are simple airships linked to commercial operations or for benign purposes”.
Too late. Since the beginning of the week, Ufologists (UFO specialists) from all over the planet. The optimists are delighted with the possible formalization of a “meeting of the third type”, while the most conspirators denounce a smoking, either to hide the “real” extraterrestrials, or to divert the attention of the general public of pseudo-scandals, Like the effects of vaccines against the covid-19 or the Epstein affair.
It is true that the evocation of the ufological thesis in the midst of a crisis with Beijing was able to surprise. However, historically, UFOs and international espionage often go hand in hand.
Roswell and the first spy balls
The first rumors of flying saucer emerged in 1947, against the backdrop of emerging Cold War, and it is no coincidence if they immediately alarmed the American army. This was “worried that these objects were secret Soviet weapons”, reports in 1997 Gerald K. Haines, CIA internal historian. The army finally attributes the testimonies to a mixture of collective hallucinations, hoaxes and visual mistakes.
If ufology has been able to develop in the United States so much, it is also due to the many American programs of espionage apparatus.

Even more ironic is the case of the legendary little gray man of Roswell, urban legend born at the dawn of the 1980s, on the basis Strange debris found in 1947 in New Mexico. A 1994 report reveals that they actually belonged to the Mogul project, a secret spy balls program designed to monitor nuclear activities of the USSR.
