Unexplained Anomalous Experiences

UFOs, Aliens, Angels, and Humans

What if the Phenomenon tailors itself to the human expectations?

This essay may seem to interject skepticism into the conversation, but that is not the intent. There is a known thing that humans do. It probably has a label, but if it does, it escapes me. All humans are easily suggestible. We are so suggestible that if you were to take a psychology course, even a 101, as you’re reading the text you will start finding yourself in the text. “OMG, I have this (any and all conditions.)” All of us do this to some degree. Frequently people come into my office having self diagnosed because a friend has the condition or they read it on google, or a Tiktok got their attention. Why are we so quick to doubt what’s real? Why do we doubt ourselves?

People, personalities, are so malleable that even the most conservative, body shamed individual will take their clothes off on a nude beach just to escape standing out in a crowd. Does that mean there isn’t someone so neurotic that would stay dressed? Yeah, for sure, there is. You need look no further than the year 2020 and see how badly people were treated if they didn’t mask up. Folks were ridiculed, but also people ridiculed folks wearing them even if they were alone in a car.
