Looks like the military industrial complex is trying to convince the public that the Space Force is needed. I don't even believe they're foreign UFO's. The US is probably making up these videos themselves. Thats why no one is freaking out about this. No one believes the Pentagons BS anymore.

Very good point, it make sense. As wiki says "The Outer Space Treaty does not ban military activities within space, military space forces, or the weaponization of space, with the exception of the placement of weapons of mass destruction in space, and establishing military bases, testing weapons and conducting military maneuvers on celestial bodies.[6][7]"

So very high probability is that they need approval for additional money spending in that area.

Some of these declassified videos are almost 20 years old (i.e. much older than Space Force) and the descriptions across various personnel are congruent; after years of corroborations nobody has betrayed evidence of some kind of conspiracy or hoax.

There are people very much freaking out about this stuff. It's a fun subject to discuss and if you do so, you will invariably encounter people who are totally unwilling to grapple with the implications.
