A Cursory Explainer of This Summer’s Verified UFO News, Somehow a Real Phenomenon

As I watched “Area 51” become a trending topic and meme format over the weekend, I found myself wishing for some sort of brief explainer on the UFO-related events of the past few months, just so one could have some semblance of a fuck of an idea what was going on.
