I find it very strange that the us government is releasing videos now, I wonder why? I don’t know what’s out there but there are so many videos of things in the sky and now we all keep cameras on us (our phones ) sooner or later someone is going to get a close up on what these things are I definitely believe we are not alone, talk about a scary thought as big as it is out there if we are alone God that would terrify me
