NJ Drones a Psy-Op? Fake Govt "Expert" Chase Hughes Spreads Paranoia about "Planned Event"

Chase Hughes is a serial liar and exaggerator, who has lied about his career and expertise, about all manner of things big and small. He's a very skilled and impressively bold bullshitter! I've done a couple previous episodes on Chase (here's the first one: https://behavior-podcast.com/debunking-chase-hughes-examining-the-bullshit-of-the-self-titled-1-expert-in-behavior-influence and this follow-up goes into more detail about why people so easily fall for his schtick: https://behavior-podcast.com/chase-hughes-and-how-he-put-a-military-top-secret-spin-on-nlp-hypnosis-seminar-ideas). This episode examines a popular video he released about the mysterious New Jersey-area drones and the potential that they are a government psy-op (psychological operation). The name of his video (at least on Dec 16 2024) was "Planned Event? The Truth About NJ's Drone UFOs".

Stay skeptical, my friends. Trust absolutely no one in these internet streets. How many times do you have to be learn that you've been fooled and fallen for fake stuff online before you start growing a lot more skeptical? Let's all get a lot more skeptical, for our own sake and the sake of the world.

The skeptical UFO documentary I recommend in this video: https://www.briandunning.com/ufo. I recommend following Brian Dunning's Substack for good, skeptical takes on various topical excitements making the rounds: https://substack.com/@briandunning. I interviewed Brian about human gullibility, and we got on the topic of UFOs and more: https://behavior-podcast.com/why-are-we-so-gullible-with-brian-dunning
