Conspiracy theories erupt after unique cloud appears over eastern North Carolina

A peculiar cloud seen slithering over eastern North Carolina has ignited an equally peculiar debate on social media, including conspiracy theories about secret government experiments.

“A plane flew through some supercooled water droplets within cirrocumulus clouds. The plane introduced ice crystals, allowing for the supercooled droplets to freeze immediately. A hole is left behind,” the NWS office in Wilmington reported in a Jan. 9 social media post.

Many readers weren’t convinced, however. As of Jan. 16, nearly 400 reactions and comments had been posted, with some accusing the National Weather Service of “normalizing these strange clouds.”

“The lies just doesn’t stop. Vast majority know what’s up,” one woman wrote on the NWS Facebook page.

“They get paid to brainwash us just like the pilots get paid to spray us,” another posted.

“People need to start collecting water samples, soil samples, and get them tested,” a man added.

Fact is, fallstreak clouds are a well known phenomenon, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Bank of England must plan for financial crisis sparked by aliens

The Bank of England must plan for a financial crisis being triggered by an official announcement confirming the existence of alien life, one of its former policy experts has claimed.

Helen McCaw served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK’s central bank, preparing for events that could impact the economy.

She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank’s governor, urging him to organise contingencies for the possibility that the White House may one day confirm we are not alone in the universe.

McCaw, a Cambridge graduate, believes a declaration of that magnitude would send shockwaves through the markets and could trigger bank collapses and civil unrest.

Until recently, suggestions that governments were covering up the existence of alien life were limited to a small coterie of conspiracy theorists and UFO activists.

However, a host of senior American officials, including the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, the New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and James Clapper, a former director of national intelligence, have recently indicated their belief in the possibility of intelligent non-human life.

Rubio, a close ally of President Trump, told the makers of the recently released UFO documentary The Age of Disclosure: “We’ve had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities, and it’s not ours.”

This month, The Sunday Times disclosed previously classified state files, which showed that the British military sought to obtain “extraterrestrial” technology after receiving credible intelligence that UFOs appeared to be real and could outperform any known human craft.

McCaw, who worked for the Bank of England for ten years until 2012, insists that politicians and bankers can no longer afford to dismiss talk of alien life and snigger about “little green men”.

McCaw added: “There might be extreme price volatility in financial markets due to catastrophising or euphoria, and a collapse in confidence if market participants feel uncertain on how to price assets using any of the familiar methods.

“There might be a rush to perceived safe assets such as physical gold, other precious metals and some types of government bonds.

“Alternatively, precious metals might lose their status as perceived safe assets if people speculate that new space-faring technologies will soon increase the supply of precious metals.

“There might be a rush to digital currencies such as bitcoin, which may prove appealing if people question the legitimacy of government and lose trust in government-backed assets.”

This would also qualify for ‘The Absurd GOP’ thread.

Apparently, MAGAts are claiming that Trump has the constitutional authority to send US troops to invade any country as long as (like a vampire) he’s invited by that country to do so. This authority can be found in Article 9, Section 13, Clause 3 of the US Constitution. But there’s slight hiccup they don’t seem to have noticed; the Constitution has only seven articles.
