**AITA for telling my boomer neighbor that his "found a lost NASA rover" story is just a weather balloon with a GoPro taped to it?**

**AITA for telling my boomer neighbor that his "found a lost NASA rover" story is just a weather balloon with a GoPro taped to it?**

So, for context, my neighbor (62M, "Cletus") comes barreling over to my house at 7 AM, holding a crumpled, muddy drone with a styrofoam cup on it. He's screaming that he "single-handedly solved the Mars 2020 mission anomaly" and that NASA is gonna pay him "at least twelve grand" for finding their missing "Mars rover". He says it "landed in his petunia patch" last night during the meteor shower.

I look at the "rover". It’s literally a drone with a lawn chair wheel and a $15 Bluetooth speaker taped to the frame. The "NASA logo" is printed on notebook paper and glued on. He wants me to help him make a Facebook Marketplace listing for $50,000.

I tell him, "Bro, that's not a NASA rover. That’s a TikTok prank gone wrong. You’re gonna get sued by the FAA for tampering with a UAP." He went nuclear, called me a "libtard gatekeeper" and said I was "jealous of his discovery."

Now his entire Facebook mutual aid group is calling *me* the asshole for "crushing his dreams."

TL;DR: Boomer thinks a crashed Amazon drone is a Mars rover. I pointed out the obvious. AITA?
