If it wasn't for one of my followers on twitter posting it I never would've learned about it.

Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.
It just irks me the government or any agency thinks they have the right to keep shit like this from the public. They tend to forget that the government serves the people not the other way around.
Plus if UFO's are legit things then sooner or later the public will get wind of it..too many people now have cameras on their phone..there is just too much that makes it increasingly difficult to keep this secret.
Which means when the news does come out and if it turns out the government knew and didn't say anything? People will just trust them even less then they do now. If you look back at our history there was a time when the government was much more open about UFO's and possible sightings, etc. As the years went on though they became more and more secretive about it. To the point where they'd tell pilots and other people just to not report any incidents of UFO's.

Keep what? We have a small visual anomaly at the edge of the atmosphere.
We don't actually *know* anything, and the atmo does some weird stuff at times for reasons we're not sure of. Sometimes it's stuff having to do with the cameras, sometimes it's stuff with the air. There's phenomena we used to think were made up but have gradually begun to understand, but only decades after they were first seen. Ball lightning, rogue waves, that kind of stuff.
Remember, one of the big things that set off the UFO craze was the government publicly releasing their big book of things they've seen but don't know what it is.
It's not like they could tell you any more- or that anyone could. It's just, a weird visual thing that unless it occurs again, possibly a lot, is a question mark.
As much as I'd love solid evidence that there is other intelligent life in our universe, especially in our very own galaxy, that video is hardly proof.
It's proof they saw a little thing. It's not proof of much else.
One of the problems some people have with this is they see the image, and then assume we must know more, and that either the gov knows what it is (how?) or that a story they have must be true. But there is a very high probability that everyone in this thread knows as much as the people who made the video- unless the explanation is a known-but-boring thing like atmosphere lensing light onto the camera.
If it's not a boring thing, then I bet a number of people are curious, but the question is- how do you test and find out?
I should of been more clear that I didn't actually think this instance proved anything. Rather just the idea of NASA might of been purposely trying to hide a UFO got me to ranting.

This is a good example of you getting aggressive because someone else has a different opinion over nothing much at all.
But conservatism/liberalism doesn't have anything to do with believing or not believing that this video of what appears to be a few dots is proof of UFOs/alien life.
Alright, but that isn't a liberal or conservative thing. There are liberals who believe in aliens, UFOs, the Area 54 incident etc, just like there are conservatives who do not.
As far as proof goes, this video is one of the least convincing I've seen.
Yeah, I would love for their to be proof of alien life. And I honestly don't see how the government telling us one thing or another has anything to do with it. You either have/produce evidence or you don't, and then we analyze that evidence and attempt to corroborate it. It has exactly 0% to do with trust, or lack thereof, in the government.
Unexplainable (or unexplained) phenomena are interesting but, unfortunately, usually nothing approaching proof or - as with OP's video - not particularly strong evidence.
I know the feeling, LOL. I feel like there's about a dozen or so following me around on this site and I don't even believe in ghosts.
Ok. What are peoples' opinions then on what those small white "dots" are? Birds? LOL. Planes? We all know planes can't enter that high into the atmosphere and they certainly can't enter space as those "dots" clearly were doing. Couldn't have possibly been asteroids or comets. Something wrong with the camera perhaps?
Just to be clear, I wasn't stating in my OP that the video was evidence of alien life. Just thought it was interesting enough to share with people here on the forum. With that said, I think it's preposterous to think that, as big as the universe is (it's infinite), that there isn't other intelligent life forms out there.
