UFO/UAP
UFO Phenomena as a New Religion, an article in 2018, by Sara Pierce, in OSU.EDU journal THE PSYCHOLOGY OF EXTRAORDINARY BELIEFS, Ordinary students exploring extraordinary beliefs, is not the first attempt to compare the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena to a religion. Carl Jung suggested archetypes in his 1960s book on UFOs, Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky, which might as well have been an attempt to sell religion. But even Jung was smart enough to state in his book, archetypes don’t ping in on radar- and so, if people and radar are seeing this- it’s not mystical!
A new video, linked below, is echoing the Pierce paper. UFO obsession compared to a new religion, which offers no new insight. It doesn’t even name the ‘theological’ experts it claims to be championing. It might as well be one of those fake media articles that says “scientist say.” As if we’re still playing Simon Says, and who ever says scientist gets the last instructions.
The thing is, UFOs would not rise to obsession level if scientists and theologians were not so equally obsessed with dismissing UFOs! Scientist say “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”
Wrong! It takes extraordinary effort to get experts to see ordinary evidence!
You can quote me.
UFOs are real.
That statement doesn’t get old. They’re real! They’re not ours. Yeah, you want me to prove that, but seriously- there would be no closed door sessions and government agency refusing to show the evidence if there was not something to this phenomena. The fact that the US Navy refused to release more data on that which they already released, and what they shared with Congress, is evidence for a cult. They’re obsessed with secrecy, but I don’t hear the media calling out their obsession with power.
The media has been complicit in suppressing UFOs. If they were half as honest as they would have us believe, they would admit as much and help society put that pressure to reveal all the truth back on the government. We the people run the government, not the other way around.
That’s not an obsession, that’s law!
UFOs are real! Truck drivers Gustavo González & José Ponce’s violent encounter with an alien, Venezuela, 1954, video linked below suggest US media refused to run that story. If they’re not real, why would it hurt to run the story?
Saying UFOs are real, doesn’t make me obsessed, or a fanatic, or a cardinal in a new religion. Yes, I know what IDIC means, and can give you the Vulcan hand gesture. I am probably borderline obsessed with Star Trek, if you didn’t get the above reference. But why wouldn’t I want to obsess about a future where humanity is not at war with itself, is exploring the universe, life, and new social realities? Surely that’s better than obsessing about fashion and cars and wealth. Is chasing wealth and power helping humanity, or contributing to world problems? How many people in ivory towers are promoting the religion of fewer people and fewer things, as opposed to championing a more frugal life style? They certainly could afford to be more green and polite to the planet. Are they?
UFOs are real. There are stories of UFOs prior to there being human flight. An airship crashed in Aurora, Texas. Pretty well known UFO story, prior to Roswell. Maybe these stories persist because they are real, not because people obsess about them. Wouldn’t it be more strange to have an occurrence and not record it, think about it, and discuss it? Science wants us to stop looking at the sky and reporting what we see? Even scientists can’t agree on what they see. Omuamua is such an artifact.
Avi Loeb is either a heretic to the old cult, UFOs are not real, or the future Pope of aliens are here. Fine. Doctor Loeb is right. It’s aliens. Get use to the Emperor’s new robes.
Maybe if humans would stop playing games and get serious about funding science and getting us into space as opposed to worrying about who has power and the most fucking nuclear weapons, humanity would be further along. Why is it no one ever says, ‘the US is fucking obsessed about making more nuclear weapons, their God revealed.’ ???!!!!
Oh, yeah. They did.
So, if I have a choice between worshiping the bomb or UFOs, I chose the religion of lights in the sky, not the scorched Earth, invisible death on the ground so we live beneath cult. Fuck, why is it when humans start pointing out there is a better way to be, educated dumb assess come in and call it a cult? Is academia a cult? I dare all PhD students to turn in papers contrary to their department’s belief system so they can see the true nature of the people they bend knees to.
UFOs are real. That’s just fact, backed up by US Government. There is no top secret classification that justifies UFOs and aliens being kept a secret. Anyone with half a brain and a telescope should realize what the enlightened of old knew. Copernicus, Galileo- we’re not the center of all creation. We’re not the only ones. We’re not the only planet.
What if modern man has it wrong, all those ancient religions- they weren’t myths, but truth and science. After all, apparently the builders of the pyramids knew something we don’t: how to build pyramids! And if it’s true that pyramids are power plants, why isn’t science making those instead of nuclear power plants on the shores that are about to be underwater thanks to global warming?
Maybe we need a religious person building pyramids. You know why there is no evidence of advance ancient civilizations? They used green technology!
And just because I acknowledge we are not the center of the universe, or the only sentient life forms, that doesn’t mean our lives or our planet are insignificant. If I have to create a religion so that other people recognize the significance of taking care of the planet, and each other, than let that be my obsession! If we studied peace to the degree we studied war, maybe there would be fewer wars.
Let peace and space be my obsession.
If I want to believe there is a higher power, one that doesn’t rule with force, but with love, that champions freedom for all sentient beings, and maybe even the beings that aren’t so evolved yet, then let’s call it an obsession.
A religion of peace. Who the fuck knocks that?
Maybe if the media would spend more time making UFOs a fad instead of worrying about people being crazy, maybe start practicing a little true journalism, they would see UFOs are real, there’s something solid to them, and they, too, would simply realize, we want to know more.
Just saying.
