project blue beam is a purported psyop in which the us government or its assets orchestrate what appears to be an alien contact scenario, which is then presumed to couch certain positions and concepts in a manner acceptable to a pre-indoctrinated population(e.g. 'we made you, oooh' to stargate and star trek fans) it is thought that if it can be propagated globally, then the fear of some external threat or tangible greater power will lead to some degree of unity or cooperation in the world.  basically, if you don't have a ussr, then make up a boogeyman. ideally one that appeals to everyone, whether pro- or anti-boogeyman.
