I’m kinda getting a bit freaked out about them. But then I’m not sure if people are getting all worked up with it because the pandemic seems to be mostly controlled now and they just need something else to report on. I don’t know but it’s kinda freaky. Oreos came out with galactic cookies and Lucky Charms came out with galactic cereal. These companies will profit off of anything.

UFOs - no. This sort of thing comes and goes. You pegged it. The media needs something to focus on. UFOs are the latest.

Ransomeware? Oh heck yes! About time the powers that be get concerned about this!

Same for me. I'm not worried about UFOs. But the ransomware attacks are scary. I do know companies who have been hacked.

That is essentially how a news outlet operates. There needs to be a constant turnover of news stories, always updating, always adding new stories of interest for the publics consumption. And it could be anything that their news editing team deems newsworthy or interesting or even 'sensational'. UFOs at this stage, basically come under 'sensationalism' really. But, as I say, it's all about turnover. That's it.

I’ve only been paying attention to The Today Show for a few minutes. So I’m not up to date on the UFO’s. The news has been a bit too much with this whole delta variant.

When I think of aliens my mind always goes to the movie Signs.

There were some unidentifiable objects in the sky a month or so ago. I think they were flying over a military base. But I’m not sure. There were a few of them at different times. They had no idea what the objects were. Hence calling them UFOs. There’s been theory’s of extraterrestrials or some type of nuclear weapon from a different country. I’ve heard it could just be space junk or a weather balloon. The report they released on June 25th was useless and didn’t say what they were.

UFOs? No, I am not in the least bit worried about them.

Ransom wear attacks? Yes, absolutely! The latter truly exists and hackers and other criminal minds are trying to victimize not only companies and government agencies, but everyone. I saw an email in my spam folder just a few minutes ago from a mthrfkr posing as a hacker demanding money to their bit coin. They said they hacked my computer. I don't believe that, so I simply deleted the email. However, it does truly happen a lot, for real. It's very very important not to click links or open attachments from questionable sources. Sad thing is that they often do a good job at posing as legitimate, hijacking names of people/organizations/companies you believe are legit.

I will admit that I tend to worry about the news sometimes. That being the reason I tend not to watch much these days. The ransom wear attackers took down our health service a few months back and it did awful damage. Ireland's national defence policy is very limited and we can't really do much about those things. The UFO business on the other hand is more likely the result of probes or drones from the future generations sent back in time to snoop about! or at least, a bit more plausible than aliens from planet ZigZog
