Why are alien visits and UFO sightings highest in America? Explosive truth revealed in new report

A newly released report by the Pentagon-backed All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) explores why most UFO sightings are in the U.S. It suggests these incidents are linked more to human-made disinformation than extraterrestrial activities. Historical military deceptions, including false UFO conspiracy theories during the Cold War, played a role in misleading the public. Misidentifications, media influence, and deliberate military hoaxes have also contributed to the high number of reported sightings.

TMTG's main business, Truth Social, has failed to gain significant traction, resulting in low revenue and advertiser disinterest. Additionally, TMTG does not have the support of venture capital and is now accountable to shareholders, limiting its ability to take risks. Analysts have noted that TMTG is overvalued, making its long-term success uncertain.
