Today (26th) Focus finally did a report over the Pentagon videos of UFOs, and told their readers that a report will occur shortly (going from the intelligence people of the Pentagon to the House/Senate). What is big about the Focus story? Well....this has been floating around for about ten weeks in the US news, and really hyped-up over the past month (NY Post, NY Times, WaPo, NBC, CBS, etc). It's first time that most Germans read the account.
Shock-factor? I'm not that sure that even if the Pentagon admits there are UFOs....that Germans would generally believe it.
From the German intellectual crowd....I'd suggest that 90-percent will laugh and just say it's BS.
From the German teeny crowd (ages 13 to 18).....probably 90-percent will readily believe in the story and do a lot of speculation.
A lot of this going back to the mess that the 1966 series....Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion left on ARD's (Channel One, public TV) doorstep. After that series, science fiction was kinda forbidden except on commercial German TV. It's only been in the past decade with Netflix and Amazon....that various science of a German origin started to occur.
Might we get an entire German public TV chat forum in June, after this Pentagon report? I'd give it a 1-percent chance.
