Could it be that true documentaries deal in facts and evidence and don't need to pose endless questions? And could it be that Ancient Aliens is so bereft of any critical analysis that the only way it can pad out its running time is by through the use of ridiculous hypotheticals?

It's so much at the bottom that many conspiracy theorists believe that flat-earthers are a CIA/deep state/illuminati creation to make all conspiracy theorists look bad.

Well, you said the storm was over you yesterday and was over Amsterdam this morning and is now over mainland Europe, so I'm guessing the UK or Ireland. Dublin had a lot of delays yesterday, I think.

OPs noted above (and you can see this if you check out FE channels on Youtube) that they've turned on the filmmakers and now view them as setting out to do a hit piece on them. There's one guy called Jeran who's been very vocal about how he thinks he was misrepresented. (I think he's also caught flack from other FErs for portraying them in a bad light.) From my obervations of conspiracy theorists, the sense of community lasts only as long as everyone is on exactly the same page. As soon as someone says something others disagree with or embarrases the group, that person is accused of being a plant or a shill. A classic example of this was that dude who went armed to a pizza place in Washington after conspiracy theorists decided it was the hub of a child-trafficking ring and they'd been constantly talking online about how they needed to rescue the kids. Well, he went there to rescue the kids, found nothing, and got a several-year prison term for his trouble. Immediately, he was disowned by the conspiracy theorists as a plant carrying out a "false flag".

Is there actual evidence of this? Surely possessing hallucinogens is just straight out illegal, not to mention administering them to someone else, even if they take it willingly.
