I don’t understand American obsession with UFO, is there something behind it?
Mostly poor education in STEM and a massive distrust of government.
It’s mostly because of a highly credible and stable intelligence officer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Grusch_UFO_whistleblower_claims
Essentially he was tasked with finding where funds are going and it led him to a rabbit hole of black programs
Keep in mind this doesn’t mean any of the implications of the programs are true, but the programs do exist, whether their purpose is legitimate or not is the question
I would encourage you to look into a recent documentary about the congressional testimony from numerous high ranking intelligence officers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Disclosure
tl;dr Of the claims they make in the documentary, the biggest thing (to me) appears to be a massive siphoning of tax dollars into black ops programs that don’t report up through the government. Whether there are actual UFO/UAP programs is up to debate.
If you want an American to believe something, tell them the government says it is a hoax.
The confirmed, filmed sightings of UAP doing things we understand to by physically impossible are behind it yes. I refer you to the US Air Force, and their publicly released footage.
My guess, and it’s a left field one, holograms.
My guess is that people’s intuitive interpretation of unfamiliar phenomena can be massively wrong.
A culture that stigmatizes intelligence, mainly. “My lazy ignorance is just as good as your hard-earned knowledge.”

oh no who will perform the totally real and actually effective exorcisms now??
We can’t have our nonsense be tainted by someone spouting nonsense!
Honestly, I see UFO stories as just the same imaginative human instinct that brought us saints & demons. They are definitely linked.
It was my understanding that these days, exorcists were more or less glorified guidance counselors for people who are a very specific kind of religiously mentally ill.
I didn’t realise it was possible to be too credulous to be an exorcist.
This guy clearly hasn’t finished reading all of ‘Childhood’s End’ yet.
Fair enough. You just can’t allow such rampant UFOism to take root in the church!
Not the right kind of supernatural?
The Catholic archbishop of Washington, D.C., Cardinal Robert McElroy, on Wednesday removed a well-known priest as an exorcist of the archdiocese after he made public comments suggesting that UFO sightings were the work of demons.
The archbishop said Rossetti’s statements “linking UFOs to demonic presence and the Center’s recent use of social media gravely undermine the Church’s very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism.”
“It’s my personal belief that probably many if not most of these UFO sightings are in fact demons,” Rossetti added.

Another “credible person”
Sounds like he’s angling for a job with JD Vance.
