Footage from a video game has been miscaptioned as saying it shows UFOs flying over Nevada.
Other online posts use the clip to fuel a conspiracy called Project Blue Beam, which says the U.S. government falsifies UFO footage.
Both claims are false, as the footage stems from Digital Combat Simulator (DCS), a free-to-play combat flight simulation game.
Some shared the clip with the caption: “was project blue beam on your 2023 bingo card?
The social media clip shows a simulation of UFOs in Nevada stemming from a video game.
