Those UFO “golden oldies”

VICE had a repeat airing, Thursday (7/16) of a few UFO Hunters shows with Bill Birnes and his TV crew.

Two segments caught my eye again: The 1947 Maury Island event and the 1961 Betty/Barney Hill “abduction.”

I know we are all tired of rehashing old UFO events, but a few things in the two incidents covered by VICE have me pondering.

Has anyone disclosed or provided documentation, for the Maury Island case, of Harold Dahl’s son’s [Wikipidia says a worker] alleged broken arm or killed dog from the disgorged slag by one of the UFOs?

For me, the terror in Barney Hill’s voice during his hypnotic session seems real. (Yes, I know that a revived memory not connected to the couple’s alleged ET kidnapping could be the cause of his seeming terror, but such a memory wasn’t present or discovered by Psychiatrist Benjamin Simon, who provided the hypnotic sessions.)

The Hill account has evolved and grown adaptive tentacles, but something happened to Betty and Barney Hill, but what that was exactly has not been developed to any real degree, obviously.

UFOs: A Part of Reality?

Bear with me on this…..

My Jesuit teachers, when I was in seminary, taught that reality – our existence and all that is – comes (came?) as result of a thought by God.

That is, we exist by way of an instantaneous creative or introspective thought in the mind of God.

I’ve always set that idea aside when discussing or thinking about the ways of God. (It’s a bit iffy for me to deal with.).

Let me assume that God, if there is one (or two or more), created and creates within the confines of time, as we know time…..a linear period.

In the creation of our Universe – the billions of years of that creation – wouldn’t a sentient God get bored with the creative process, described by astro-physicists (as those on the Science Channel’s “How the Universe Works”)?

The smashing of proto-planets, star formations, black holes, and all the intervening processes of Universal creations would wear thin, it seems to me, for an omniscient creator: billions of years of vast detritus.

But then comes, the creation of living entities, on our Earth.

At first quantum particles then microbes, followed by the processes of evolution, leading to mankind, which ultimately provides “entertainment” for our supposed Creator, not as a whim in the blink of an eye, as it were, but a historically prolonged passage of time, millions of years of movement, from primitive humans to what we are today, still primitive but with ingenious caveats of imaginative behavior, good and bad.

Everything we know makes sense in the context of our natural environment, the process of development.  All things can be accounted for, even paranormal things: ghosts, Bigfoot, Nessie, et cetera, everything but UFOs, seemingly.

Why do UFOs not fit into our schemes of evolution, natural environment, societal development, warring peoples, constructs, civilizations, everything that exists?

UFOs, not those things that are advanced aircraft, that have appeared and appear out of nowhere and interact sometimes with humans.

Even if there is no God, how is it that UFOs show up within the context of natural evolution, development....something with no connection to how life began and evolved?

Isn’t that strange, uniquely so?
