UFOs may mean nothing but could be a means to an end

I got caught up, Sunday, in a video on YouTube of Verdi’s Don Carlos, a three hour opera of a time in Spain when King Phillip II ruled – the mid-1500s, the same time, by the way that the Nuremberg and Basel broadsheets appeared (which were discussed here and said by me to represent “Editorial cartooning” for the religious strife of the time-period).

The opera circulates around the Spanish Inquisition – no Monty Python jokes, please – and the auto da fé at work during the period.

This brought home to me that during human history there have been, as there are now, problems and circumstances that only madness explains, which you will find outlined splendidly in Andrew Scull’s often-mentioned-here opus Madness in Civilization: A Cultural History of Insanity from the Bible to Freud. From the Madhouse to Modern Medicine. [Princeton University Press, 2015].

And I’m determined, like Phil, who comments here, that academia rarely, if ever, helps we humans determine what we are, as a species, or why.

That is, philosophy has been no help, only muddying the waters of thought with its inane and convoluted processes of what the philosophers call thinking.

Physics (and science, generally) deal with abstractions that help us survive and discover but have done nothing to help us under- stand what this reality is truly about.

History, Archaeology, Paleontology, tell us of the past, never the future or why we’re here in the first place. And Psychology helps us cope but informs us about nothing we can’t figure out for our- selves, including suggestions about our supposed unconscious minds and thoughts.

As Phil suggests, common sense may be the best road to under- standing things.

(There are exceptions, but they are few.)

Yet, I am convinced (somewhat) that the UFO phenomenon, if really scrutinized, seriously, and not treated as a hobby or a way to meet like nutters, could give us a clue as to what we, as living, thinking creatures, are really about and why.

That is, UFOs actually could provide the answers that philosophy and Ivory Tower habitués have screwed up with their mixture of madness and beclouded linguistics.

It’s just a matter of really going for an explanation, a forensic scrutiny of the phenomenon, rather than using the phenomenon to fulfill lonely, ignorant lives.

Do we have to consider that some modern UFOs are Earth made?

The Navy pilot UFO encounters that have recently been disclosed indicate, it seems to me, that the “things” intercepted or spotted may be modern craft from a military on Earth: Russian, Chinese, even the U.S.

Of course, all the ancient and pre-modern flying saucer accounts or records offer a sensible dispute, that UFOs have been around well before any Earth country had such things, in or out of the skies.

But what if some country lucked out and got their hands on a flying saucer or UFO in the modern era, such as that referenced by the 1947 Roswell incident or the Russian Kapustin Yar event, or maybe an undisclosed Chinese episode?

While the Roswell “crash” has been mucked up by the U.S. military and subsequent inept ufological “investigations,” and no one really knows what occurred at the Russian military base, or whether super-secretive China has had a Roswell-like happening, the possibility – possibility! -- exists that someone has “captured” or recovered a UFO…

And if that happened, I’d imagine the recovering entity might have got enough information from the “thing” obtained that they (the military) have been able to construct a like “aircraft” and that’s what U.S. Navy pilots have come upon.

Still, that leaves open the question of what is or was the origin of the captured UFO or from whence did all the ancient and pre-modern flying saucers (UFOs) derive.

So, getting access to a modern UFO doesn’t, by itself, help us determine the source of all the UFOs reported in the past, but it could offer a clue or two about what UFOs are or, rather, have been and their origination.
