The internet is full of subject matter experts. One of the best things about social media is that you can frequently find out some incredibly interesting information from someone who has spent years studying a specific subject.
On the flip side, the internet is also full of self-proclaimed experts. You know the type. They watched a handful of YouTube videos, read some random blogs from a musty corner of the internet that no one frequents, and now, they have a PhD in nonsense.
The problem is, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to separate the two. Short of verifying someone’s credentials through your own research, we’re essentially taking people at face value. Well, that is, unless we disagree with them, at which point, expert or not, we’re likely to let them have it.
That’s exactly what Kacey Musgraves did in a recent post on X. Shortly after sharing details of a potential UFO sighting she had during a flight from Texas to Tennessee, internet users began debunking her account.
One user, who is a “UFO analyst,” according to their social media profile, noted that the most logical explanation for Kacey’s experience was that she had seen some Starlink satellites.
Kacey, however, didn’t appear to be impressed. She responded to the user, named Mick West, with a hilarious clap back.
“Hey Mick if you zoom way into the videos you can also see a really clear angle of Bigfoot riding your mom,” Kacey wrote.
Did Kacey Musgraves See Some UFOs?
Possibly. Strictly speaking, any flying object that can’t be identified is a UFO. At the time of her flight, she was unable to identify them; thus, they were UFOs, technically, at least to Kacey.
The bigger question is “Were they aliens?” Honestly? Probably not.
If we look at the response Kacey dunked on, it does make perfect sense.
“The @KaceyMusgraves UFO sighting video has been identified by @flarkey as being 100% consistent with Starlink horizon flares,” Mick West wrote. “If this is true, Musgraves wouldn’t be the first person to have thought ‘aliens’ when seeing these flying orbs. In fact, All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), a government office investigating UFOs, has previously written about Starlink satellites.”
Kacey may not have liked the response, but it is undoubtedly the most logical answer. Still, that doesn’t stop her response from being hilariously funny. Kacey won the internet for the day.
