I remember Project Blue Book (not to be confused with "blue book" college exam booklets):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Blue_Book
Allegedly, we now have Project Blue Beam:
"Project Blue Beam is a theory introduced by the Canadian journalist Serge Monast in the 1990s that holds global elites will destabilize society by staging and unleashing massive supernatural events – alien invasions, holographic displays of cultural and religious figures, mind-control and faked crises – and then capitalize on the hysteria to implement a new world order."

Well, it does explain all those Elvis sightings over the years.
Meanwhile, what is hysteria and what is legitimate anxiety? Only your hairdresser knows for sure. New Jersey's governor doesn't. To quote the aptly named Guardian once again:
“I can’t walk out that door and have somebody not stop me and say, ‘Tell me what’s going on with the drones.’ And I get that completely,” the governor added. “It’s unnerving and it’s really when life is not a math problem with X plus Y equals Z where there’s a hard and fast answer.
“I hesitate to use mass hysteria because I think the anxiety is legitimate.”
Murphy conceded the collective anxiety has affected him whenever he has taken his dog out at night. “I’m looking up, and I’m trying to figure out: ‘is it a star?’” Murphy said. “‘Is it an aircraft? What is that?’”
And then the poor guv looks down and discovers that his dog has pooped on his shoe.
I shudder to think what will happen when the guv and his dog get a glimpse of that Meshoppen farm outhouse flying through the air.
"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?"
Has anybody heard anything lately from Joyce Carol Oates? Shouldn't somebody do a welfare check at her Princeton home? She might be lying on the floor surrounded by Mars bars. Just because Gore Vidal once said the three saddest words in the English language were Joyce Carol Oates, she shouldn't be abandoned to the tender mercies of our planetary neighbor.
Oh Wells, all’s well that ends Welles.
Besides, when I look at what's happening here on planet Earth, I say, "Mars, take me away!"
Just don't take me with Elon Musk.
The three saddest words in the English language say the same.
