The internet has definitely stolen a lot of the magic from the world. Foreign places aren't mysterious anymore. I've seen a million videos and pictures of every place I want to visit already, and I talk to the people who live there every day. The Burmuda Triangle isn't something mysterious anymore, The Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot, UFOs, everything, it's all pretty much disproven now. Even ancient Chinese medicine has been peer reviewed and either proven or disproven. Where's the magic that existed before the internet? I guess in the quantum realm, but that doesn't have the same type of mystery.

The only people claiming UFOs are disproven are feds or patsies.

Two eyewitness and a whistleblower testifying seeing nonhuman craft under oath to Congress:

If UFOs are so disproven, why is congress trying to declassify projects involving them? And why is the Military Industrial Complex pushing back and claiming that they need to be able to patent reverse-engineered technology?

I'm not saying believe me, I'm saying that if you take a serious honest look at the phenomenon it's very plain that there's something there
