On a recent Paracast the hypothetical scenario was forth and question asked as to what would be the response if a UFO hovered over the White House for a period of time and was broadcast live on all of the networks.
I had a different take on this than what was voiced during the show.
I don't think everyone would suddenly believe in UFOs or freak out for that matter. The reason is the incredible noise factor.
I spent some of this past week engaging with people who subscribe to various conspiracy theories, including those who swear that we never landed men on the moon. We also got to witness the bigfoot hoax event and the idiotic reaction to it.
I believe that in the scenario described some percentage of people (and probably not the majority) would now believe in UFOs as spaceships from other planets. Some people would think it was a hoax, put on by the government or some other body using as yet unknown technology.
Many people, and I mean many, many, people would believe it was a 'false flag' event.
What would come out of this would be a whole lot of argument and disagreement, but I think the entire subject would get muddied by misinformation and disinformation that no one would know what to believe about the event.
If we can't get people to believe men landed on the moon, there is no reason they are going to believe something like this simply because they 'saw it on TV'.
That was my thought on the topic at least.
