My late DP was absolutely convinced he saw his future teenage self when he was a child, and then repeated the experience as a teenager when he reached that age. He was way more sceptical than I most of the time but when he related the story, he was visibly discombobulated and subsequent re-telling never varied.

So the time / vibrations/ dimension aspect sort of tastes right even if the particulars have yet to be nailed down.

The thing is, is that this is your perception and opinion coming from your human mind.

There are things that we cannot contemplate or imagine, because we simply can't.

It's not just my human mind, it's how the whole of humanity understands the nature of our universe at this current point in time.

Improbable doesn't = impossible, but it isn't as simple as Fred and Wilma from beta reticuli jumping in the family flying saucer and visiting Nevada for the weekend.

If they do exist, and if they have detected us as a planet and a civilisation worth bothering about, then the questions posed about how they actually get here require some pretty fantastical answers, but they are not completely beyond the scope of our human perception of the universe. Just because we don't know how, and we don't posses the technology to travel to black holes, never mind through them, doesn't mean that we can't conceive of the fact that could quite possibly be the secret to 'inter-dimensional' or 'warp' travel, because as we understand black holes, they appear to do some bizarre things to time and space, so it's possible some civilisation somewhere has develop the means to exploit that.

It's also entirely possible that we are, and always have been entirely alone as the only remotely developed civilisation in the universe, and what people are witnessing has nothing at all to do with ET's, because just as 'Improbable doesn't = Impossible', 'Possible and plausible does not = probable'.

It's concerning when the powers that be start dropping crumbs for the public. It's always a distraction from the real issue.

True but with this if the public or most already presume we guess other civilisations exist then what are we being given crumbs too.

That's the thing, at some point humanity will need to conquer the galaxies.

Why should humans be the dishwashers of the galaxies.

We should rule or at least try.

That said what's in those stars, I'm not sure but the prospects is quite scary and quite wonderful at the same time.

Humans are complete pricks. We are the last species who should be in charge of the galaxies. We wreck everything.

Yes that Greer.

The frequencies theory could also start to explain the paranormal.
Something that crops up now and again is the issue of time. Humans experience time as travelling through it, getting older, with a past and a future. There’s an area of quantum physics suggesting that all time exists now, that instead of us passing through time, time passes through us - all we can experience is the now. If our frequency matches another time we may have a brush with a “ghost”, someone existing in another frequency at the same time. I struggle to get my head round this, but I find it intriguing.

I've read about the concept of time, that it's basically not an arrow but instead is like a mixture of past, present and future all mixed in one, which would make time travel possible with the right technology.

Exactly, chances are you would suspect the ones with true influence and power would have these hearings shelved asap or even before they got as far as they are.

I’m definitely more intrigued about the why of this hearing than what IYSWIM.

But it is great to come on here and be able to have a talk about it without the instant David Icke dismissal for once.

Greer, related to the disclosure project?
From my research days.

There was an episode of star Trek voyager where certain civilisation could be slightly out of phase that made them invisible to humans.

Yes that Greer.

All that has happened now is that they are finally putting their hands up and admitting 'sorry public, yup, these things happen, and we're as puzzled by it as you are. If you want explanations, sorry, but we don't have any".

Not entirely, because he's saying that the craft are stored in locations that he cannot tell a public hearing but will tell a private one.

So the suggestion is that there are people who do know.

And if there are people who do know, why are they letting this hearing go ahead?

The existence of this hearing is really weird.

It’s certainly possible, the milestone thing. It would make sense to monitor the galaxy next door if it could pose a threat and a species had the technology to do so.

One of my theories is that aliens could be our future selves after mastering time travel. Maybe it is a dimensional thing. Like the film Interstellar, roughly speaking.

Or maybe egregores are a real thing and enough people have put thought and energy into their fantasies that they have become real.

I mean, it could be any number of improbable things, and maybe we’ll never get the answer.

Either way it’s all intriguing.

Well I'd rather like to catch my timetravelling future (or indeed past?) self, make a note of some lottery numbers, go back and make my current life a lot easier 😃

It's like the humans in a fish tank, sometimes there's whole other beings that are or would be omg.

At least that's if I've understood your point.

Also, and I realise this also comes across as though I’m a conspiracist, but this sudden change of approach then has me worried at what is actually really going on that they need to be honest now…

Me too.

Could be events in the galaxies that are shaping our political aspects.

Lots of people have missed that the standard line on UFOs and aliens has changed over the last couple of years. Even past presidents have admitted that there are UFOs now

Nobody has ever doubted or denied the existence of UFO's.

Unidentified Flying Object

It's a descriptor which is applied to any object witnessed in the sky that is not immediately identifiable, whether it's a weather event, a man-made vehicle, or a wheelie-bin caught in a heavy wind.

If ET's do exist, and it is by no means a necessity that they must, then it's highly improbable they are visiting Earth, because first of all they'd have to recognise Earth amongst billions of planets in an infinite universe as somewhere worth bothering to visit in the first place, but not only that, they'd have to learn how to travel inter-dimensionally because the distances are so vast that it just isn't feasible for any being with a finite lifespan and machinery that could conceivably fail them before they got further than their own back yard.

I’ve read about all sorts of entanglements with spirituality, and everything being frequency, which also ties in with quantum physics. It’s all very interesting, and an amazing rabbit hole to lose yourself in.

This ties in with Stephen Greer’s take on UFOs and aliens (he’s got some press conferences on YouTube about the recent hearings that are worth watching if you’re interested).

stbrandonsboat · 26/07/2023 21:12

So, apparently these aliens travel millions of light years across space and come to visit us and go to....Preston and Blackpool 😂😂😂

No wonder they haven't revealed themselves to us.

SaltyCrisps · 26/07/2023 21:11

I don't doubt that there's something there. I'm always baffled by those who blindly deny the possibility. As others have said, the climate on this subject has changed a lot over the last couple of years.

It's weird isn't it? A public congressional hearing where people of apparently excellent reputation are making these claims about aircraft performing impossible manoeuvres, crashes, non-human remains being taken away to top secret programmes...

And then the public are just left hanging? I mean, why have it in public?

We've just had a bit of fundamental honesty for once.

They US State, with all it's power and faculties, can not offer precise explanations for a lot of these phenomenon. This is exactly why they have always refused to acknowledge the fact they accept them as credible in the past. It posed enormous difficulties for those charged with maintaining national security

"What are these things in out aerospace, over our sovereign territory, that display technological capabilities far in advance of anything we know?"

"Err sorry, we have no idea. Probably best for all involved we just refuse to acknowledge it publicly".

All that has happened now is that they are finally putting their hands up and admitting 'sorry public, yup, these things happen, and we're as puzzled by it as you are. If you want explanations, sorry, but we don't have any".

Is this on now? What channel?

Hawkins0001 · 26/07/2023 21:10

BlossomWood · 26/07/2023 21:03

I found it interesting and there were some good questions asked.

So what happens now though? They go into a SKIFF, get the answers we aren't privy to, then what?

That's the thing it's either discussing what's already published, or spin some creative writing aspects.

Either way I'm doubtful humanity at the moment could understand we are not the only creations that have been created or evolved. Especially if the galaxies are teaming with civilisations.

CatchItDerry · 26/07/2023 21:09

Hawkins0001 · 26/07/2023 21:04

I think the bottom line is, humans are unlikely to know about x civilisations until I presume we reach certain mile stones of advancement.

That's my guess.

This is the US military saying it's not their military.

Precisely. So they've potentially been outsmarted, and they don't know who by? Or they do know who by and they don't want to say...? It's concerning. But not in a little green men way.

Actual aliens don't worry me at all 👽 they'd probably do themselves and us all a favour if they wiped us out.

Maybe we're failing at mission life and it's time to reset the matrix...

I've only just started watching the hearing so won't finish until tomorrow.
