Overseas News

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Same thing as the alien autopsy of 1995. Someone wants to be famous.

For some reason (aka poor excuse), scientists won’t be allowed to touch it or analyze it.

At this point in human history I wouldn't really give a shit if this was real. The government covered up Aliens...ehh I don't care. How is this worse than any of the other shit they've done, that is very much real. Nothing beats climate inaction for me. I'd also be happy to know that life exists somewhere far far away that we likely can't get to. Don't let us near your planets or they'll be fucked in a matter of centuries.

Reminds me of an episode of Jonathan Creek

Why is this getting heavily downvotes, I'd love to see one of the cowards come forward with their opinion instead of hiding behind a button

Not a downvoter but my guess is this:

We have been hearing about this type of crap for decades (the supossed roswelll incident happened 76 years ago) and it has all been horseshit. The X-files were not real.

The people downvoting are just tried of the same shit being trotted out every few years with zero actual evidence.

Scientists call fraud on supposed extraterrestrials presented to Mexican Congress

Yeah but this article calls out the claims for being bogus, so I don't see the problem

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Likely the Dvers see the article and DV just because they are tired of seeing these grifters get any coverage at all.

(I didn't bother to read it either.)
