I have heard multiple LN'ers say that in their youth they were CT'ers and then wised up. I have a theory on that.
There a million nutty CT's out there because the JFK case is the most popular 'whodunit' of the last 1/2 century. Everyone is an armchair expert. So when people are very young and naive they tend to just accept all those theories. Then as they grow they see many of those theories did not hold water.
My theory is they become embarrassed by how young and dumb they were and take a very hard shift to the other side. Nobody wants to look like a fool so they become hard core skeptics in order to make sure they are never duped again.
50 years ago the Project Bluebook investigator/astronomer J. Allen Hynek claimed the project was indeed finding objects moving through our atmosphere that we could not identify.
That was a CT and all the "rational" intellectual snobs degraded all who even considered Hynak's words, even though he was a respected scientist before and after Project Bluebook.
Last year the Pentagon admitted in the opening of their report the same facts Hynek said in 1970. So now all the skeptics who dismissed the phenomena are in denial or eating crow. The pendulum swings both way!. A closed mind can bite you in the ass!

I was a nutty CT and that was based on only initially researching the CT side but like they say a pancake has two sides and it didn't take very long for me to realize that something was up with all this biased and misrepresented conspiracy evidence.
So I started looking at the official side and the supporting scientific evidence and most of the conspiracy theories that originally at face value were somewhat convincing, were just plain wrong.
For instance;
• A bullet lacks the kinetic energy to push a man beyond an inch or two, so the back and to the left was not from a bullet.
• The stereoscopic autopsy photos that I viewed with glasses then eventually made into morphed images prove that the photos are authentic and the head shot came from behind.
• Oswald killed Tippit, why the heck would Oswald kill Tippit if he wasn't desperately on the run.
• Oswald owned the rifle because the alternative of creating a massive paper trail and fake money orders and fake Kleins paperwork and fake photos and fake testimony and fake etc etc is beyond absurd.
So there you go, and you're right nobody likes to look like a fool and when it come to conspiracies what's wrong with being a hard core sceptic because what's out there is ridiculous, like Fake moon landings, Chemtrails, Sandy Hook actors, 9/11, Oklahoma bombing, Trump stuff, Covid vaccines, the list of conspiracy nonsense is exploding as the internet becomes more and more accessible and dumb people suddenly have a platform for their lunacy.

If what was caught on film wasn't some film anomaly and was an actual physical object doing insane aerial manoeuvres, the question I ask is what's motivating these pilots of these UFO's to show off in front of US military jets? If I go to an alien planet flying advanced tech, sure I might show off a little but beyond that what's going on? The films although are not very good quality and could easily be faked with travelling mattes and an optical printer! -wink-
And besides, the space distances travelled are very very far and even going lightspeed would take many years and all for what, to show off their latest hotmobile?
