5 Deeply Disturbing Alien Abductions | 2023 The Paranormal Scholar Documentary COMPILATION

 https://youtu.be/tHv-6-xyQIg?si=gfbB7G6_9LwrHsXq

I have not been an advocate of alleged alien [ET] abductions, but some credible accounts, like a few related in this compilation video indicate that something -- of a sexual nature -- occurs to some "victims" of the professed kidnappings (and "medical" examinations).

Further, there are some accounts -- a few added here recently -- that suggest some "victims" of UFO encounters have been murdered.

David Grusch has also suggested that UAP non-humans have killed humans, and there are some reports of humans killing (and examining) alien [ET] visitors.

Could the Grusch non-humans have "learned" about killing (murder) or medical exams from their human contacts, behavior not intrinsic to alien, non-human species perhaps, murder and killing intrinsic in humankind from the archaeological records or accounts like Cain killing Abel that appears in The Hebrew Bible (The Old Testament) and other ancient texts citing rampant killings, e.g., Gilgamesh or Greek Myth.

The UFO abduction lore should be considered either as a dynamic "fiction" of UFO hobbyists or a record of actual repulsive activity that presents a truly conscientious worry for humanity.

The "evolution" of Evil (in the consideration of UFO/UAP non-humans)

How can a non-human species commit evil deeds?

 
Humankind, we/us, live on a planet that began with a predilection toward destructive behavior.
 
Where, in the long route of evolution, did this tendency occur?
 
Some religionists would attribute human evil to “original sin” but that doesn’t explain much; original sin has not been codified exactly.
 
But with all the philosophizing over the years, beginning mainly with the early Greek savants, ethical and/or moral behavior has been defined in any number of ways, each harking back to some flaw in mankind’s mental evolution or, perhaps, a defective gene.
 
The ethical/moral behavior, or lack of same, is unique to this planet’s species – all of them, flora and fauna, sea creatures. Microscopic, all living things, sentient and semi-sentient.
 
So how could a non-human species have a semblance of evil traits and behaviors, unless they were formed on Earth, not extraterrestrial, not inter-dimensional, but formed on Earth.
 
The circumstantial “behaviors” of UFO interlopers, experienced or witnessed derive from an evolutionary path unique to planet Earth.
 
The results of that extreme glitch in specie evolution can’t be exported to other places in our galaxy or Universe.
 
And that “glitch” has to be corrected on this planet. Will it b e corrected by AI or will AI exacerbate the “glitch”?
 
Who knows or can tell?

Heads up buddy boys!

Ryan Wood, in his Preface and Introduction to this book -- $14.95 via Amazon -- writes that we Ufologists have got to "disclose" what we can muster from a new enterprise UFOdex -- an AI and "search" database accessible at UFOdex.com where a massive site of UFO materials exists.

That is, we have to bypass the government/military cover-up and secrecy and provide what we have to the public -- our own "disclosure"!

I am, as you know, in full agreement and have shifted this blog and others away from those who can't or won't comply, instead waiting for a government disclosure -- something Wood says is naive.

I'll be using UFOdex and shall also present some of what Mr. Wood has already provided in this book about his efforts.

I'll need input from those I've "invited" to participate here -- Ron Press has been stalwart in his offerings -- and if nothing is forthcoming from others, I'll remove them from the readership here.

Ufology is a group effort, not a one-guy thrust to get at the explanation of what UFOs (or UAP) are.

My baffled UFO pals

I try to keep moving, and this means that I’ll change blogs, associations, and writings to seem alive and/or relevant.
 
When I moved a few blogs – this one – to a restricted status, I didn’t think it would be much of a problem for my selected pals – all intelligent and a few even intellectual.
 
But, lo and behold, a few stumbled trying to accept the Blogger/Google invite and some haven’t been able – even now – to find access.
 
(They can’t be trying very hard.)
 
If this is how they “attack” the UFO/UAP conundrum, we are in serious trouble.
 
I find a few smarties still unable to access the UFO/UAP Reality blog – the newer one – and the UFO Conjectures blog access still baffles some.
 
I’m afraid to put UFO Provocateurs into play, again, as a restricted blog. But I really wanted to lambaste some UFO/UAP asses still holding forth in UFO circles.
 
Who else is going to forego civility and name names of persons marring the UFO landscape for various obtuse reasons.
 
So, if you are reading this, make sure you look for your invite to one or the other of my restricted forays: The UFO/UAP Reality or UFO Conjectures.
 
It’s not my lame musings you are missing, but, I think, the juicy UFO/UAP stuff I keep stumbling across or get from private submissions to me by UFO buddies and pals.

"UFO: An undeclared visit" Oleg Kirzhakov talks entering an alien spacecraft, Plesetsk, Russia, 1989

Why am I relinking a 1989 Russian encounter I've placed on here before?

In the Day One UFO piece put on here the other day from Casper's YouTube channel, that old guy, Boyd Bushman, offered a take (with illustrations) of what happens when a UFO fires up or takes off.

In the video above -- there is a similar take on UFO flight-energetics (shown) -- the concept and witness observation duplicating Boyd Bushman's take.

The change in colors and rotations of some UFO craft elements (parts) -- noted in other UFO reports are similar enough to provide credibility or information that confirms something of a technical nature that may be meaningful; that is, the observations, if true, provide a clue as to what may power UFOs.

Alien & UFO Week - DAY 1 - The Confession

 https://youtu.be/n0XGuXrWYMo?si=QDJJ9ww5a2OG5_Yn

121,791 views Apr 15, 2024 #aliens #paranormal

#aliens #UFO #paranormal Today is day 1 of the Alien and UFO week. Starting of with a confession from an Area 51 scientists by name of Boyd Bushman. Boyd decided to speak out about the things he leaned about the existence of extraterrestrial life and UFOs. With photographic evidence of the UFO and the Alien beings we listen to his story. The question is, is this all real? Do Aliens really Exist? Are the Photos fake?

Casper gets overly excited about things that UFO long-timers have dismissed long ago. This "confession" is one.

Boyd Bushman has been parlaying his story and photographs for many years now and I don't know anyone or any venue that has given his tale and information any credence.

It's an enticing amateur presentation and could be true, if one accepts an old guy giving up the goods he's held (and promoted) for such a long period of time.

Who would do such a thing? Aren't old guys, nearer to death's door than almost everyone else, supposed to tell the truth as they near their final days on Earth?

Brian Cox - Alien Life & The Zoo Hypothesis

 https://youtu.be/8TdbqAj5qZ8?si=x27NFdn1fdy1fzAR

Along with bromides, in this video, from Sagan, Clarke, Fermi, et al., the idea that advanced ETs would (or might) examine this planet as a kind of zoo, exacerbates my patience.

The projection of sci-fi fantasy (and its pernicious psychology) on possible species from far, far away, is too ludicrous to conjure with.

Any beings. coming from a pernicious evolution somewhere in our Galaxy or further away is plausibly so different from what we humans can imagine, that to provide them with thought and activity slightly like our own makes me intellectually bilious.

But the idea that extraterrestrials are motivated much as we, the human species are, remains intact and up front in UFO and UAP discussions.

This is one reason why intellectuals, true intellectuals, eschew the blather of podcasters, philosophers such as Limina (Bryan Sentes' promoted cronies, and persons as eminent at Avi Loeb are already without sta ending in some UFO quarters, not the quarters where Ancient Astronauts roam or the halls of conference where persons hoping to con some suckers out of ay loot they may have.

Nope. Dopiness is the quintessential essence of the UFO/UAP arena, now ad still.

We have to muster our brains to see that the ET factor for UFOs is off base and there has to be some other explanation for the phe- nomenon, and I don't mean angels or demons or protoplasmic entities either.

James Fox Releases Clip From NEW UFO Documentary "The Program"

https://youtu.be/2tB6HvVPDIo?si=yCE1uBPSKzZdV9-N 

Mired in the past?

Copyright 2024, AI-America

Reddit sets itself up as an IPO:

https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/03/20/reddit-nears-ipo-heres-what-investors-need-to-know.html

What does that have to do with UFOs (or UAP even) or AI or "cli- mate change" and other potential disasters of current social interest?

Reddit, an odd conglomeration of people and topics, represents, like TikTok or X or Instagram, et al. what is currently the "mind-set" of many people, and that is rather sad.

Also, I see some of my UFO pals -- Kevin Rande, Tanner Boyle, and my Facebook cronies -- locked into past UFO accounts and stories many of us have moved on from.

(My YouTube inserts and mouldering UFO tales are almost as bad but I try to include that which has a relevance to the UFO expla- nation, which I'm guessing affects those locked into them.)

The "problem" for Ufology is that old UFO accounts that have already received heady rumination are tiring, boring, or just meaningless drivel.

Reddit's daily (hourly?) UFO/UAP input is, generally, current and on point, even when it's loopy. The input comes from UFO newbies mostly -- the UAP crowd, whereas X derives commentary from UFO oldies and sometimes notables.

My point here is that UFOs are now in a new realm, only smothered by those still hanging on to the "disclosure" nonsense.

There is a subtext to UFOs now -- even in its UAP "disguise": the phenomenon represents a danger to humanity. not just the national security.

Kevin Randle's Levelland microwave dangers for those in a UFO presence is offset by the UFO predilection for human or animal body parts.

Tanner Boyle's reminiscences of past oddball persons inhabiting UFO lore may be interesting to some but irrelevant and a sidebar to what UFOs really portend.

Reddit is where the UFO/UAP mind is right now -- in that Chris Lehto realm of a topic that brings attention to podcasters, You- Tubers, and the like, plus a few dollars from gullible UAP followers and those with a few bucks to waste.

Here, at this blog -- aside from my diligent pal Ron -- one can see the apathy of long-timers, geezers some. and those who once found UFOs (flying saucers) psychically exciting. 

My (few) readers may be likened to those who reside within the memory of that long-ago excitement about the phenomenon, an excitement that is being squashed by the "cover-up" hoopla in place, once again.

Fortunately, I am quieted by the newbies I've discovered hovering at Reddit (or TikTok) and the insertion of daily news about the Webb telescope -- news that is upsetting the errant cosmic blather (Big Bang theory, etc,) that marred my long-ago entry into Astrophysics.

Aside from that, AI is vibrant as a topic and the insanity of Trump and his MAGA radicals allows for a respite from the "bucket list" crowd that thinks life is meant for vacation trips or indulging their grandkids.

Thank God for the intellectual respite that one gets from among a few millennial thinkers, hiding in plain view.

Speaking of AI -- and I just was

Copyright 2024, AI-America

According to that New Yorker AI piece [March 18, Page 42 ff.] about the pro-anti AI groups -- interesting but out of the real AI loop -- I hope readers took note of the quantum techies involved in the AI squabbles.

There are rather private side-bars in the AI discourse, among those on the periphery of the matter and development of the currently hot topic.

Many quantum AI "researchers" are wild about AI sentience, with a (very) few taking up time with a discussion that I like: AI "emotional" and "spiritual evolvement, hinting at an AI "soul."

Because the quantum observer (measurer) brings about a quantum reality, it appears, as some think, that importing AI with quantum, observation or input, AI shall end up not only having transience but also moral and ethical contingencies hovering not only in the background but eventually as a more than transient element of what AI is or becomes.

This means that AI will have a technical machine existence along- side its observer's mental and "spiritual" proclivities, if any.

My argument about AI sentience gets me in trouble with the techies -- almost all of them. And now a "spiritual" assertion or possibility will get me tossed from the AI groups I'm part of.

But there are palpable arguments for the actuality of an AI soul (or whatever term ends up suggesting the same).

Those arguments can be fleshed out and unmarginalized by appli- cation of quantum theory.

More to come on this -- maybe not here but at my AI blog and whatever happens if I try to open the door to such a view else- where in my AI domain(s).

AI or UAP: which is truly more important?

Copyright AI-America
 
In the 1953 movie adaptation of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds, the UFO Martian invaders, unlike their technology, were weak biological forms, ultimately done in by the microbiology (germs) of this Planet.
 
From the UFO/UAP encounters rife in UFO lore, it seems that the entities entering this planet’s airspace and sea waters are paltry, weak biological forms also, with an advanced technology.

Could human technology (weapons particularly) counter a UFO/UAP attack of some kind? Maybe, but also, maybe not.
 
So UFOs/UAP present danger to our security that military types and those who feign military concerns are stridently warning.
 
Then we get to the AI “doomsters” which I hope some reading here got wind of in the New Yorker piece for the March 18 issue of the magazine {Page 42 ff.]
 
This, mainly, high tech group is stridently warning that AI will be the end of humanity, while the AI boosters say, “hold on,” we can control AI.

Both discourses are open to further debate.
 
So, will the UFO/UAP “species” do in humanity? Or will AI be the end of humankind?
 
What is your take? Do you have one? Let me know. I have to contend with both arguments upcoming.

A wasted day, and I can't afford too many

Reporting from Ann Arbor:

Invited to what I thought was a round table, Tuesday, discussing perceptions of reality outside the norm and concentrating on Maurice Bucke's monumental work, Cosmic Consciousness, it turns out that the gathering was about perceptive visions evoked by psychedelics, meditations, and various disciplines that sup- posedly invite visions and truths that are, generally, hidden from human view.

I am not interested in LSD visions or "magic mushrooms" (psilocybin) or other so-called enhancements for the mind.

(My close pal Bragalia has experimented with mushrooms and written about his experiences.)

When I locked on to Maurice Bucke, I mentioned the supposed (apocry- phal?) account of Thomas Aquinas where he was once seen levitating before his daily Mass and apparently got a glimpse of total reality, causing him to remark after the vision and his "recovery" from it that since he saw profound things, "all that he had written -- up to then -- was as straw in the wind."

Corrected by a Catholic psychiatrist, I was informed, embarrassingly, that this Thomistic episode did not appear in Cosmic Consciousness but is a story often told in tales of Thomas' last days on Earth.

Cosmic Consciousness contains a raft of illuminating experiences that notable persons (and commoners) apparently had, experi- ences that enhanced their lives and provided psychological sus- tenance for them and productions of their life-works -- which I knew and know.

And while I have often used the examples cited by Bucke, I never read or found any details of what the persons saw or felt -- even Thomas never explained what beatific vision he supposedly saw, dying a short time afterward, leaving his Summa(s) unfinished.

Here's my point, and forgive me for dragging you to it ...

When it comes to UFOs, my desire is not to find out what techno- logy is employed by those inside them, or why they are here -- would the occupants really tell us?

Rather, I'd like to "hear" what the UFO invaders know about the grand scheme of things -- that which Aquinas is said to have experienced in his fly-by during Mass.

Most scientists and many UFO enthusiasts (some who visit here) do not believe in God, even misunderstanding that the word God is a shortcut for me of the Spinozian concept or the great intelligence that is responsible for our reality and the creation that lies beyond us -- the Cosmos (Universe).

I would hope that the UFO interlopers might have something of value to impart about the matter, as, it seems that persons allegedly encountering or being abducted by them neglect -- in their frightening experience -- to inquire about such matters.

The paltry matters on this time-shortened existence with Earth is of little concern to me. It's the great move to "the other side" that is intriguing.

[And, yes, the food provided by the restaurant where we met, was above the general swill one finds in Indiana, from which I've ex- tricated myself pretty much. Upcoming are my AI jaunts which are loopier than anything in the psychedelic or, even, the UAP, sphere(s). I hope for some feedback.]

Artificial Intelligence: a thing to replace humanity?

I received a note telling me that I should be ready to discuss items. during the xAI online gathering Saturday, 3/23, from the New Yorker , March 18th, piece O.K., Doomer by Andrew Marantz.

I found my NY copy and, there on Page 42 begins a rather thorough piece about, as far as I can tell from a skim of the article this morning, the current "rift" between "AI doomesrists" [P(doom)] and "techno-opti- mists" [e-acks]. There are other terms describing both camps, but I'm barely awake this morning so I'll comment further after I high- light the piece and hear what the Muskers have to say this weekend.

You know my AI thinking: AI has sentience already and will be fully sentient [A.G.I.] sooner than later.

Anyone reading this -- persons with actual AI-like sentience, not the bloopershit coming my way about UFO/UAP stuff -- please leave comments. I could use some "down-to-earth" repertoire if called upon Saturday for input. (I have a reputation for goofiness because of my Academia.edu paper on AI Sentience.]

I think and hope that AI does eliminate humanity eventually, as this planet is filled with our ignorant, harmful species to the point that human beings cannot (should not) be scattering its defective genes all over the galaxy or Universe (someday).

The Shallow End of the UFO Swimming Pool

Copyright 2024, AI-America

The planet Earth is a unique place -- for its inhabitants, and only its inhabitants.

In a context of our galaxy, The Milkyway, and more so, the Universe in its complex infinity, the Earth is a pathe- tic, little blob of nothingness.

For those insinuating that Earth is a beacon for possible sentient travelers, from "civi- lizations" far and away in the spectacular vastness of that infinity is an ignorant madness.

We who try to be rational have to cease catering to those mentally blind UFO/UAP apes.

Commentary, podcastings, blogging, websites, books et cetera catered by them have to be ignored, placed on a  bulletin board  noting them as intellectually deficient and Earth-centric ignoramuses.

Those UFO people smothering X, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, blogs and podcasts with their insane drivel have got to be shut down, if we thinking types hope to come to a UFO/UAP consensus that makes sense.

I know a raft of former UFO notables who've resigned from the UFO dialogue. And while I sympathize with their enlightened decision to go AWOL, I'm distressed to lose their insights and thought processes.

But I'm part of the problem, inputting comments and my own ragged postings online here.

I'll try to contain my zeal for dopey input, and by some who use this platform for silly, long-withered ideas about UFOs and their possible creators or users.

Enough is enough.

The UFOs' Obsession

Copyright 2024, AI-America

I've long hoped that if UFOs are gathered, in any redeemable way, and contain sentient entities, that we humans might get a chance to ask questions those entities might have insights about, such as:

What are the realities of the Universe -- its origin (if there is one), its extension (as to what lies outside it), are there multiple versions, and so on?

Is there an intelligent force (that we humans call God) responsible for existence (reality)?

And dozens of other inquiries that take up our scientific and philo- sophical thinking...

But it seems, as far as can be determined by flying saucer sightings and alleged encounters, that UFOs have an obsession only with this planet and its flora and fauna.

The apparent nuclear facility visitations indicate an obsession with atomic fission or weaponry, even though such developments would have no bearing on an extraterrestrial civilization even as nearby as any might be in our solar system, let alone one light years away.

Nope, UFO concerns are pathological, if the accounts of what their interests seem to be are accurate.

Discernable UFO attentions lie only within the aspects of this planet and its inhabitants or natural environs -- to the point that the appellation of "advanced intelligence" within UFO configurations is really a rough, ignorant projection by human beings.

I don't think we're going to get any worthwhile information or pro- found insights from UFO "occupants" if some apparent encounters and experiences are true or actual.

God help us if the "evidence" of UFO contact bears any resem- blance to the UFOers obsession(s).

Proof Majestic 12 Was Real | Roswell UFO Conspiracy | Full Sci-Fi Alien Documentary | MJ-12

https://youtu.be/EDoWmddwY3o?si=B_IXfe1-7rXOURp9

 

Another film by Paul Kimball, about the controversial MJ-12 documents long considered to be a hoax, a concoction.

What's fun about this film is seeing some current UFO notables when they were young: Rich Dolan, Nick Redfern, John Greene- wald, et al. (Bruce Maccabee looked old then and always.)

Some personages have passed on: Stan Friedman, Karl Pflock, et al.

What Paul thinks about MJ-12 today is not known by me but he might comment here, telling us what his take is in 2024.

For me, MJ-12 is in the mothball category nowadays, irrelevant to what UFOs/UAP mean to humanity today.

Like Roswell, Socorro, the Phoenix lights, Chicago O'Hare, Rendle- sham, and countless other famous and infamous UFO accounts, MJ-12 is a footnote to the phenomenon.

A kind of Purgatory

I had to come back to Fort Wayne, for a dental appointment this past week -- a chipped tooth -- and I left Ann Arbor with some regret....

While I'm 47 miles north of the city, at my lake home, my news media connections intrude: changes to the local media market force me to concede that people in Fort Wayne are not, by a long shot, very bright or consumed by serious happenings in the world-at-large or anything with a cultural scent.

Also, I needed to nab my Cosmic Consciousness book (by Bucke). There's a round table on the topic this coming week at  Ann Arbor.

I'll note the substance of that gathering upcoming.

Then there's this: Zach, of my AA gang, has got his podcast going. It's geared to area college Freshies and Sophs. ID cards are needed to get access info.

While I underwrote his expenses, he asked me to refrain from promoting the cast, especially here at this blog. (It seems we, me included, are not grist for his topics -- UAP and related areas. I understand where he's coming from with that.)

But I did listen to the first two installments via Rumble and the content was lofty and fresh, more intellectually zealous than other like podcasts about the topic or what I input here.

So, with my new obsession about coffee, and how to variously brew it, I'll try to push some interesting stuff forward here. It won't be zippy, like Zach's or his followers,  but it'll be fine for us long-timers.

Tony Bragalia brings to my attention that UAP whistle-blower, David Grusch, went out of his way to talk with Tom DeLonge at a recent Blink-182 tour concert -- Grusch finding his way backstage to see DeLonge.

Why?

If Grusch is as smart as some think he is, why does he keep mingling with the UAP dregs and fakers: DeLonge, Corbell, Knapp, podcasters seeking attention not truth, et al.?

This is a full-length video documentary by our long-time pal, film-maker, ghost-hunter Paul Kimball, who is laid back about UFOs (and UAP) lately, sometimes commenting here and showing his vittles on Facebook.

If you want a sensible and erudite account of some iconic UFO sightings, this video is it.

(Part 2 of the video is about animal mutilations which, like UFO abductions, have not been an interest of mine. but the seriously researched human mutilation video -- added here the other day -- increases one's concerns about the tendencies of that which "operates" UFOs.)

The Russian Roswell -- Tunguska?

ttps://youtu.be/EJs_owuwjEQ?si=2bu5N79XeAovAqjD

I've often offered comments and material about the 1908 Tunguska event.

For me, it's an account of a spaceship accident, but it hasn't cap- tured the UFO community's attention, not even from those who are UFO/UAP ET proponents.

Yet, it is an "accident" that is easily perceived as an episode of an extraterrestrial mishap as this video makes clear.

(I hate that the video uses Roswell as a "like" incident -- Roswell is so mixed and muddled by the batch of its attendant UFO "researchers" that comparisons with Tunguska is pathological.)

Where is Chris Lehto going with this?

https://youtu.be/7w_t9Z4hPbU?si=eCImz4oFXWMQt50U

  

YouTube's notifications provided this Chris Lehto video (because I'm one of his subscribers).

But the matters discussed, while in the Physics realm which I do have an interest in, the "issues" that Chris is consumed by have little to do with UFOs (or UAP), except in the Extrater- restrial suggestion (that UFOs come from outer space perhaps).

Chris is not connecting UFOs or UAP to his (Chris's) apparent desire to get astrophysicists to correct the current cosmological model, in light of the James Webb telescope's recent findings -- galaxies, black holes, et cetera that seem to be older than the age of the Universe derived from the Big Bang model.

Any discussion, no matter how interesting or relevant to physics -- Einstein's or Quantum Mechanics -- do not impact what UFOs are or what dangers (or pluses?) they might provide.

Lehto is a UFO/UAP loose cannon and dealing with the canon of Astrophysics seems to be beyond him, although he has a fundamental grasp of the problems inherent in the science.

After being notified of Chris playing guitar in a small bar band recently -- the video is on here -- I'm sort of inclined to give his upcoming videos short shrift, as is the case with a lot of other videos that skirt the UFO issue. (You know which one's I mean.)

UFOs and NATO: The Human Mutilation Cover Up ~ a documentary

This is a lengthy, oddly horrifying video about UFOs and human mutilations, with graphic and actual photos of those mutilations.

The opening few minutes of cattle mutilations (where Linda Moulton Howe is mentioned) presages the alleged human degradations.

Those few minutes can be ignored or skimmed.

This is a generally unknown aspect of UFO lore, I think, and it underscores an element of the UFO "history" that is disgusting if true or even concocted. 

Watch it after you've had dinner....long after.

Craft retrieval photos disprove AARO UAP report: Pentagon Papers lawyer | Reality Check

Ross Coulthart's NewsNation program, this video blustery, smarmy, and aggrieved about the AARO prevarication.

Worth a viewing/listen.

That ongoing slide into academic madness

Copyright 2024, InterAmerica, Inc.

I try to stay away from the UFO/UAP madness that's afoot at the moment, but it's ubiquitous, and almost permanent in the UFO firmament.

For instance, while Google's UFO Alerts have succumbed in the past few days [3/9 and 3/10] to linking the media renditions about the AARO conclusionary report that UFOs, er, UAP, are not extraterrestrial thingies, UFO/UAP prone persons, podcasts, blogs, news media, too, have taken to relating that same refrain.

(The report did not accent the Grusch "disclosure" that UAP was of a non-human nature, AARO sticking to the ET theme,)

Then, on Sunday, after ignoring YouTube's notifications, this weekend, about new UFO/UAP videos, I receive, in my email, Bryan Sentes' latest blog entry -- https://skunkworksblog.com/2024/03/10/on-the-latest-crest-of-the-psychic-tide/ -- wherein Bryan ruminates on the current state of UFO thinking among the academic "elite" -- Kripal, Cutchin, Engels, Gadamer, Vallee, and Whitley Strieber.

Strieber? Has Sentes been taken in by the Strieber nonsense and con?

This is the kind of thing that took me away from my "friendship" with Sentes: he is "mad" with ideas that belie sense -- common sense and rational thinking, outside the academic milieu where a different kind of madness than the UFO madness prevails.

Sentes and the whole raft of YouTuber's feigning a kind of academic atmosphere in their videos -- my "pal" Jesse Michels among them -- like to play at being scholarly, going off-topic to bring in every possible suggestion that UFOs/UAP are something more than craft from somewhere else in our reality, lately the spiritual realm of angels and demons or, in Sentes case, the paranormal fringe where Blavatsky and her like resided.

And while the philosophical, metaphysical, Big Bang losers, and other academic or scientific mavens are locked in their disciplines -- interesting as those areas of scholarly realms may be -- UFOs (and UAP) are not of that ilk.

The phenomenon is not paranormal! It consists of a non-human solidity from time, another dimension, another abutting universe, or even somewhere extraterrestrial. But it is not ethereally connected to our reality, or its so-called fringe ultra-normal reality that impinges on us now and then.

So, Sentes and his obdurate cronies are all wet, and striving to survive in their musty academic arena by latching onto the UFO phenomenon, where all the action is at the moment.

There's nothing sadder than a scholar lost in the welter of academic nonsense, or trying to escape it as Sentes' buddy Mike Cifone or the slipping into UFO fandom as Diana Pasulka is.

UFOs (and its UAP counterpart) are things outside the mad minds of its followers and mavens, even the UFO long-timers who are lost and outside the topic nowadays.

UFOs (flying saucers, UAP, whatever) are a phenomenon unique and solid, something to contend with in ways separate from the norms that humanity keeps trying to smother it with.

The Trouble with Reality

A new book by William Egginton, The Rigor of Angels: Borges, Heisenberg, Kant and the Ultimate Nature of Reality [Pantheon, 338 pp., $32.00] is reviewed in the March 21, 2024 New York Review of Books by  Meghan O'Gieblyn (page 10 ff.)

William Egginton, a Literary Scholar at Johns Hopkins attaches attention to "thought experiments and theories, including the multiverse hypothesis, interpretations of quantum mechanics, and debates about free will" Ms. O'Gieblyn writes. [Page 10]

She then elucidates Egginton's explication of "the problems and paradoxes that emerge when we try to extend our ordinary way of seeing the world beyond the human scale." [ibid.]

I've ordered the book (from Amazon, where I have a $10 credit) but it is available at other places for much less than its publishing price of $32 smackers.

I'll have more to say on Ms. O'Gieblyn's review and the book itself as the ideas presented by both impact our conversations and thinking here, sometimes.

Meanwhile, find the review on NYRB or get the book. Either will stimulate you, I imagine.

The angel/demon thing again, along with the Vetted's "bombshell" -- I didn't/couldn't watch, Elon on oumuamua (?), and The Angry Astronaut -- a guy I can't watch.

UFOs & Religion: Vatican Reveals Bizarre Link

 https://youtu.be/tS_64sTN5AU?si=zzT69dcAEjVgLn-x

Jesse Michels hosts Diana Pasulka -- two brilliant persons, she, a scholar and he, well-read.

The problem, for me, with this interview and dialectical back-and-forth is that Michels and Pasulka go off on the angels/demons and religion aspect that UFOs/UAP have devolved into currently.

Catholicism (Pasulka's faith), like all religions is a contrivance, and while it's my faith (for which I once attended Seminary) is not a evolutionary process created by God, or the "Intelligence" many call God, it has nothing to do with UFOs, despite the attempts to make it so.

The conversation here is interesting, to say the least, but it is a side-bar to the UFO phenomenon.

UFOs represent another reality, beside the one we inhabit, and trying to push human creative beliefs upon the phenomenon con- fuses what the essence of UFOs (UAP) is.

Inputting Jesus, Saints, angels and demons into the UFO/UAP mix takes us far afield from the phenomenon's true nature and reality,

So, I add this link to the Michels/Pasulka video to get readers here abreast of where the UFO dialogue is nowadays -- a diversion of a non-scientific and mad kind.

A truly interesting video you must sit through entirely!

This is one of the finest and best examples of what a real UFO researcher does and should do.

Moreover, if you are patient and heedful, you'll experience a revelatory conclusion of a brilliant kind.

(This is only for the serious UFO enthusiast visiting this blog. All others can skip it.)

An encounter story from the 70s that provides "clues" about UFO intensions and their source

The 1970 Finland event is well-known to serious UFO enthusiasts and, again, offers "clues" to what UFOs may be or, at least, what they do to those who encounter them. Without access to UFOs, crashed or otherwise, this is what UFO researchers have to deal with....but I suppose that readers here will not make an attempt to understand the phenomenon, either waiting for "disclosure" or preferring the next three links -- madness, sensationalism, and lights in the sky.
