By Blake Fleetwood / Original to ScheerPost The U.S. suffered worldwide embarrassment in the last two weeks while the American media and Republican and Democratic politicians hyperventilated over four UFO balloons that turned out to be harmless. At first the military wanted to keep everything about the Chinese balloon flight completely secret, but they were […]
