This is why you don't read the Daily Mail. It's a psy-op. Just like with viruses, an alien invasion narrative has the potential to frighten both the normies and the conspiracy aware. The latter may think governments are behind the technology, but they are still going to fear. If there's one lesson we should've learnt from covid-1984, it's that fear is a survival mechanism that's never appropriate to keep carrying in daily life. I have not read the article because they make 'em up, this is mockingbird media.
