I mean this stuff is actually shatteringly important and its not all over the news yet

It is all over the news.

BBC, The Guardian, The Independent, Mirror, Daily Mail, Express, Metro....I could go on.
They have either ran Live coverage or have news reports.

Fascinating…..

And to echo other posters, what are they distracting us from?

I’m open minded about it all as both my Dad and Nana told me they had seen UFOs and neither were particularly fanciful people.And I’ve had a fair few weird experiences that no amount of logic could thoroughly explain.

also fascinated by the concepts of Jungian psychology and the collective subconscious. And synchromysticism - the study of life sometimes reflecting art through foreshadowing.

If you really want to look into something intriguing check out a 1994 card game called Illuminati - New World Order for examples. The creator was inspired by Robert Anton Wilson and the like, and it was intended as a joke but it can be regarded as a bit of a bingo card exercise for the last 30 years or so.

I’m interested in all aspects of “woo” and human psychology, and the technological means we now have to screw with perception does give a scary license to those with the resources to bend the rest of us to their will.

Strange and interesting times indeed…..

Que sera sera and all that I suppose….

It’s like that Netflix film Don’t Look Up.
There’s lots of information out there.
Past presidents have all but admitted were not alone.
People are still largely ignoring it.

Apparently Mussolini found a crashed aircraft with something not human 100 years ago and it was covered up

"Sir, this body is so mangled it doesn't look human"
"Take off your coat Giuseppe and cover it up"

I always hoped there’d be proof of intelligent alien life in my lifetime. Im hoping this report provides it but I’m not holding my breath.

I cannot fathom why Congress is having this hearing if it's all bollocks, and if it's all true, why would the people in charge who know whether it's true allow this to go ahead?

If I’m understanding correctly (and I might not be as I’m wrangling many time consuming tasks right now), the US government isn’t necessarily holding this all secret, but there are some big companies who are invested in all this who are keeping the secrets.
According to theorists the US government were highly involved in this, but in the Reagan era control transferred to aeronautical companies. (I think this is the jist of it!)
A couple of years ago someone managed to make a FOI request via government which led to videos of tictac UFOs (too fast and easily manoeuvred to be man made with any known technology), and has resulted in a steady drip feed of more information coming out, which has helped many more speak out publicly, rather than being limited to conspiracy platforms where they’re easily mocked.

Again though, there are different takes on what’s going on and where this goes. Whilst I do believe in aliens, I can well believe that this is a whole load of disinformation designed to create fear - covering up atrocities, keeping people scared and compliant.

@cardibach I've seen this before, and I’m not sure how reliable it is.

Different cultures have different views on UFOs and aliens. Russia is apparently more open minded and accepting that there is life beyond earth, but are unlikely to be open with any information (alien or otherwise) to other countries. It’s very possible that what we hear is very Western-centric, and that other countries don’t report in the same way we do.
There have been many events outside of English speaking countries, some of the most plausible and interesting encounters have been in Africa and South America.

I keep hearing project bluebeam and new world order. But kind of want it to actually be aliens.

Incidentally I am absolutely 100% sure that there is life elsewhere in the universe. I am also 100% sure it has never been anywhere near us.

This is bollocks though isn’t it. If you were 100% sure, it wouldn’t be a huge debate with an actual paradox named after it.

I’m another that has always believed (don’t openly say to this to others besides my family - who have always thought it was a little crazy)

The last couple of years a number of ‘disclosures’ have been made, also they’ve cleverly changed the term to UAP’s (unexplained Ariel Phenomenon) it feels like it all building up to something in my opinion.

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…

Now you’re scaring me! 🤯

cardibach · 26/07/2023 19:44

This is interesting. What would your explanation be? (I’m if the opinion it’s more likely than not that there is other life, but interstellar travel is more bother than it’s worth so people aren’t seeing UFOs

Aliens???

What's going on really with this sudden change of tack....are we being softened up for the day when our amazing leaders (cough) all fly away to Alpha Centaurus with the greys, leaving us less important lot to stay and scratch out a living on a burnt out planet??? (Meanwhile, in episode 5:31 of the Twilight Zone, our so called leaders discover just what it really means to be asked to dinner by a Grey....)

Seriously, unless they were lost or being punished, or had a serious God complex, why would intelligent alien life forms land on earth, much less stay here?

So just what are our cousins across the water really up to and what are they really trying to hide or distract from?

Not sure.

I heard something on this earlier I have no idea what’s going on though

Not sure I have the bandwidth atm for aliens

CatchItDerry · 26/07/2023 19:41

There’s footage of UFOs coming from the sea, so there’s a possibility of some being from right here on earth. I think this includes tictac UFOs that were recorded by the US navy nearly 20 years ago.

There’s also been a lot of talk about reverse engineered craft going back decades, using technology that is very energy efficient.

It's not really a good thing for them to come here though. They'd have to be more technologically advanced than us. So unless they have rules against plundering or domination of other planets...we'd be in big trouble

Thats very human thinking. We assume a an alien race would do that because it’s what we’d do, but they could be far more enlightened than us and are simply interested in learning for example. I mean if they really have been visiting us, they could have wiped us all out by now if they wanted to.

There's good and evil everywhere. No matter how enlightened a species of intelligent lifeforms might be.

Allywill · 26/07/2023 19:38

But surely all UFO means is they are (as yet) unidentified. I mean aside from finding actual life forms, finding (or in most cases just spotting) something in the sky that you don’t recognise would mean 1) yes it’s a UFO and 2) it’s more likely to be a foreign power’s new tech that they don’t want you to know about and will deny it’s theirs to protect it.

Pinkbonbon · 26/07/2023 19:37

Furries · 26/07/2023 19:20

Ha, like Alien 18-30. Maybe that’s why they keep crashing, they’re pissed youngsters on holiday 🍹 👽

'He's got pissed again and gone to earth! Earth ffs! I keep telling him but does he listen? Of course not! Hes only gone and crashed too! He's going to get his interstellar licence revoked at this rate and he'll only have himself to blame!'.

CalistoNoSolo · 26/07/2023 19:35

I do believe that the universe is full of life, even on earth we can see how life can survive under the most extreme circumstances. But why an intelligent and extremely advanced lifeform would come to a back water like our tiny bit of the galaxy is something that doesn't have an easy answer. Any interstellar travel is going to take enormous quantities of energy, not to mention be very risky, and take a huge amount of time (unless travel through wormholes is indeed a thing) so why come to our solar system? It doesn't seem a logical thing for an alien race with interstellar travel capabilities to do. It is fascinating though.

Naunet · 26/07/2023 19:33

Oliotya · 26/07/2023 19:02

I'd be less worried about aliens and more worried about what they're trying to distract us from/convince us to do.

Agree

Naunet · 26/07/2023 19:32

Pinkbonbon · 26/07/2023 18:52

I don't see why not. We'd be mad to think our planet was the only one with life even from a religious perspective- who's to say God didn't go on to make more planets with living beings.

It's not really a good thing for them to come here though. They'd have to be more technologically advanced than us. So unless they have rules against plundering or domination of other planets...we'd be in big trouble.
