Amidst the noise of a global pandemic that affected every single person in the world this past year, did anyone catch the announcement from the Pentagon confirming that they have some alien stuff in their shed? And they’ve declassified videos from their military files. This isn’t Leonard Nimoy. This is the Pentagon! This is no longer a “what if?” It’s a “what’s up?” Now if you’ll please excuse my tinfoil sailboat hat, this is one of my favorite topics.
From a mathematical standpoint, the sheer size of our galaxy alone would be enough to theorize intelligent life exists. So, what is the math? At last count there are over 2 Trillion known galaxies in the universe. Trillion. That’s the number to multiply by. In our galaxy alone, there are over 200 billion stars. Of those, 40 billion have Earth-like exoplanets orbiting stars within a habitable zone and 11 billion are sun-like stars. And we haven’t really examined much at all. One Nasa official put it in these terms: if you aimed a laser pointer at the night sky, that tiny dot is what we’ve studied. With numbers like that, the question for me is not “is there anybody out there?” It’s “Why are they avoiding us?” Extra-terrestrial social distancing? Maybe. I’m sure they have their reasons. I just don’t like them.
Back on Earth, the list of reputable people spilling what they know is growing, and it seems one of the great mysteries is on the precipice of becoming reality. The stigma of being called crazy for suggesting such a thing is passing rapidly and the deniers looking more like they are going to be joining the Flat-Earth Society mailing list. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but the culmination of historic and recent documented encounters without earthly explanation is becoming too hard to ignore. And if you thought the pandemic turned the world on its head, a reality with aliens will be a triple back flip with a couple of twists. Stick the landing? We’ll see.
All That said, I want proof. Who doesn’t? A simple part of why deniers deny is they don’t want to be fooled, or even look like they were fooled. We all want something concrete. Something we can’t punch holes in. And not from the Ancient Aliens guy with the Flock of Seagulls/Don King hair or the guy carrying “The End is Near” sign.
So, here we are. We finally get some verifiable validation via military video, confirmed by pilots and multiple government sources around the world, and it actually is getting a little bit of press, and piece on 60 minutes, but why are we not seeing this absolutely everywhere? I mean, aliens and other worlds, that’s about as huge a concept as it gets. Right? Is it still just too far out an idea to believe that we’ll see it in our lifetime? Maybe we’re not ready for the collective Star Trek convention to descend into civilization yet? Or is it simply we intuitively know something is out there and are just waiting for contact?
Well, contact is apparently happening. Or at least something we, with all of our knowledge, can’t explain. If you haven’t seen the navy pilot’s footage or heard the post-discussions with them, the government officials and at least one astronaut, it’s difficult to grasp the validity applied to the current information. The consensus opinions may be the most convincing part of these recent declassifications. The recent intelligence report has been one of the few conflicting pieces basically saying; we can’t say it’s aliens and won’t… but it’s not anything we’ve seen, so it’s being called unknown phenomenon. In other words, it’s not ET until we know for sure. What would expect the intelligence community to say? That the guy with the weird hair was right. Many speculate, and some have admitted, the world governments have known about ETs for some time. If that were true, to what degree? For how long? And why reveal it now? Cue the conspiratorial rant if you need to have one. I did.
Humor me for a bit more. Let’s say the UFOs we are seeing are real? What do they want? If their civilization is advanced enough to travel here from possibly light years away and make objects or ships do the things they are doing in the videos, what could we possibly offer them? Resources? A vacation spot? If they were malevolent or just wanted our planet, with whatever technology they possess, they could pretty much take out our defenses with little effort. My guess is they are studying us for the same purpose: we study everything we can. Knowledge. Either that or they simply want to communicate but understand that their presence would be a societal meteor hitting the Earth. Come on! Like we as a civilization would ever freak out. Yeah, we’d respond like Joan Crawford did to wire hangers.
If we did actually communicate with them, how would that affect our world? Inventions, health, food, energy, our entire way of life could all be catapulted into the future. Imagine how just a smidge, maybe a smidge and a half of their advances could help our world. However, one interviewee suggested that it could also cause mass ethnocide or a major dissolution of our beliefs systems. Many people would reject it just as flat earth believers reject science and those who simply reject technology choose to exist in a world more familiar to them. Kind of like those isolated tribes that are left alone to live in relative exile from modern society. Hey, it’s their belief and they’re happier to live the way they’ve known. For the rest of us wondering, June 25 is supposedly some big reveal. Do we get something real? Something admissive of either contact or at least confirmation of a presence of other life? Probably not. I’m not expecting anything Earth-shattering. Why? Because a change this massive needs time to adjust to. For everyone. Even those who want to see it in their lifetime. According to at least one official being interviewed, a slower, designed roll out of information has been set in motion to allow the public to grapple with small doses of a possibly new reality. Are we ready? Are you ready? Or are you standing on a dock yelling that the ships are going to sail off the edge of the world? Well, this time they might actually fly off the edge and keep going.
