Pentagon UFO Reports Include Radiation Burns and Unaccounted Pregnancies
livescience.comOne of my favorite misunderstandings of humanity is the clip from Men in Black where Tommy Lee Jones says something like "An individual human is smart, but humans are dumb, panicky animals and you know it." This is an explanation of why the government can't tell the public that there are aliens - it would cause people to panic.
In reality, I think this less well known excerpt[1] from the deservedly short lived "Nightly Show" better captures how humanity would react to aliens. In the excerpt Bill Nye is trying to hype people up for the discovery of water on Mars - the other panelists though just don't care. The audience and the host don't really seem to care either.
This is basically how I think people will react to aliens. It won't cause a panic, some people will be somewhat interested. Oh, aliens exist and sometimes fly around in our atmosphere? Okay, cool. I expect most people will say and believe that they "always knew" UFOs were real.
As near as I can tell it seems like the interested US government programs believe there are advanced flying objects of unknown origin operating in our atmosphere and they publicly acknowledge this. This is also not an enormous topic of conversation.
I've had what was ostensibly a telepathic encounter with a higher intelligence. A year ago, a voice came to me suddenly, and said, "We will take him now." I have never heard voices otherwise.
Two days later, I found out that an elder relative passed, having had suffered from a heart attack. He died over a 24 hour period and was with his family. The thing is, I had no prior knowledge of his condition or even any contact with him at all in a long time.
I've speculated about the cause and implications. Perhaps I hallucinated. Maybe aliens took my relative. Or was it "God"? Is there even a distinction?
I had a few similar experiences. I am not a religious person, but I feel as Hamlet:
Horatio:
O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
Hamlet:
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
The simplest explanation is in most cases the correct one; and in this case that would be one that doesn't break the laws of the universe!
There could be another explanation, that the event you describe a result of confabulation; essentially an error in memory where you mind fills in the gaps. The problem is that the more you explore such a memory the more real it becomes as you mind interpolates it.
We don't know all of the laws of the universe (multiverse?) and probably never will.
Sure, people do retroactively interpolate foggy/inaccurate memories to fit missing puzzle pieces, but this event was incredibly distinct.
Uh..how many times have you said that to someone, and at what point will you start to get nervous about, just, probability?
Why do you assume the voice was talking about the dead relative?
Because his death process started shortly thereafter; he was family. His death was the only death of which I had learned around that time.
The idea of UFO's was created and funded by the U.S. during their X planes project to create misinformation to attempt to keep the project itself quiet from the soviets. At a certain point they didn't have to push the idea, people took it up freely and expanded it. The Pentagon is not going to do anything against its own interests. In this crazy timeline maybe they'll use it to demand more funding for secret projects.
Maybe the Roswell incident in 1947 started it, as one of the classified balloons crashed that used to monitor Soviet nuclear tests. The CIA capitalised on the rumours relating to aliens and used them to build a campaign of misinformation. Even if there were any real sighting of flight tests it would have been really hard for the Soviets to filter them out from all the nonsense. The fact that people still believe the rumours today show what a great idea it was!
