I've been quite curious about ufo's and ufology ever since witnessing them myself on numerous occasions going back over the years and im interested to know what the general irish public feel about it. I talk openly about those experiences with friends and strangers alike.. 9/10 will laugh it off and ask me what i was on, even though they know me well enough not to make something like that up, but theres always a small percentage of people with their own stories to share.
There are a few things about discussing this phenomenon that really irk me.
First of all, the stigma that's attached to it. Let me say, first and foremost, i am a scientist at heart, but i dont like the constrictions or the egoism of modern science. Such small minded thinking does not allow room for the advancement of knowledge. The subject of ufology gets relegated to the realm of conspiracy theory, or in the case of this board, the paranormal forum, point in case. Should not the study of attempting to prove the existence of extraterristrial life not belong to the sciences? It might well be the most important discovery of mankinds existence, and one which could advance our civilization beyond our imagination.
If you speak about witnessing ufo's you're either a crackpot, hallucinating, lying, on drugs, or any other of the random mundane reasons that allow this issue to be swept under the carpet. The fact is, there are hundreds and thousands of documented pages of evidence, eye witness reports, photographs, video photage, radiation sampled from suspected landing sites etc.. substantial evidence from retired military, presidents, generals, pilots, and the general public at large.. that all suggest otherwise.
Its hard not to approach this subject without broaching on conspiracies, but one must consider what any government would do to get their hands on extraterrestrial technology, especially the military. It's well known there's a branch of the american government that is not only highly secretive, but seemingly has more power than the president himself. Recently the money traced back to this organization was said to be FOUR fold the entire american military budget. We're talking trillions here. It's no secret that russia / the former soviet union and many other states were and still are just as interested in this subject, while making it appear to the public that there is absolutely no reason to be. most of this information is freely available, you just have to look for it. some of it leaked, some of it declassified, some of it attained through the freedom of information act.
so whats next then, people want hard evidence, sure.. but any evidence or supposed craft that were salvaged were taken away by the military and all this is still kept highly classified. only public opinion can change that. if were happy to accept what we saw were some weather balloon or swallow whatever other bs they use to debunk and demean the issue, that will never change. i recently read about the phoenix lights, the official report given was that a US stealth bomber flew over the area on a training run and dropped flares. one witness said what he saw was a black triangle in the sky with massive lights on it, the exterior of the craft was described as like looking at the heat rising from the road on a hot day. he said you could have parked the entire US stealth bomber fleet on ONE wing. this massive ship, was also completely silent and so big it blocked out the stars. in his words, he said there wasnt a word big enough in the english language to describe its enormity.
some argue its not possible to travel at the speed of light. how do we know that? they could be
millions of years more advanced than we are. their craft readily defy the laws of known physics, and have been known to travel into and through water with the same speed and maneuverability. they might even exist in another dimension (many scientific models of the universe need at least 11 anywhere up to 30 dimensions to succeed). the idea of atoms and molecules was proposed long before microscopes or any such apparatus existed.. of course people laughed at that then too. it was only last year the first atoms were even photographed. science is rarely a linear process, as much as wed like it to be. just because we cant see it, really doesnt mean there's nothing there, and just because its science, doesnt mean its perfect either. entire branches of modern mathematics and physics rest on theories that havent been proved yet and might never be, there is a proof for that also! we are like monkeys with magnifying glasses compared to the technology these beings possess.
just in case you might not have noticed it yet, i am pretty certain aliens exist, and that they are already here. is that not a profound statement to make? sure it is.. but seeing really is believing and frankly the evidence at this point is too overwhelming to ignore. i would like to see people get beyond the limits of skepticism and ignorance and to start taking this seriously once and for all.
it begs the question, what are they doing here? who knows.. but they dont appear to be hostile, wed surely know about that if they were. they could be here for our resources.. there is some postulation that their craft need water to function.. possibly to power a fusion drive of some kind. in 'nasa the smoking gun' there are leaked nasa videos showing how ufos gravitate towards hurricanes and storm systems.. maybe they get energy from these sources. there are other theories, that they are preventing us from destroying ourselves.. and preparing earth and our advancement into the future, and perhaps even easing our psyche into the acceptance of their very existence. they have been known to disable nuclear weapons. in one instance they disabled 20 warheads, an entire missile silo during the cold war. this was americas frontline defense in the event of nuclear fallout and was reported by one of the chief launch operators at the time who is now retired. in another instance a ufo was caught on camera beaming lights down on a nuclear test missile and disabling it while it travelled at hundreds of miles an hour above the clouds.
i could go on but i wont..
that old addage rings through.. truth really is stranger than fiction
