Yeah, I saw a documentary years ago where bioluminescent trees (as streetlights) were presented as a near fact.
Saw the same documentary and there was a bird in one of those trees and nobody mentioned that it was most likely a government drone. Really makes you think about what passes for a credible source these days
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! That's right, we are on the same page!
