After some months of research, stemming from an initially mild fascination with the topic that was boosted, among other things, by this thread, I've become convinced of the reality of the UFO phenomenon. It seems to me, that an open-minded consideration of the plethora of data - tens or houndreds of thousand eye-witness accounts of UFO sightings by the general public, countless testimonies of highly credible and well-trained airline and military pilots reporting aircraft that can only be described as alien and non-terrestrial, declassified government files proving a strong and ongoing military interest in the phenomenon, etc. - must lead to the recognition that there have been non-human artefacts in our skies for decades or even centuries which cannot be accounted for within our current scientific paradigm and for which an extraterrestrial origin is the most plausible and rational explanation.
I was quite overwhelmed by the wealth of well-documented cases that, if you're really willing to look at them and disregard the urban myth stigma attached to them, turn out to be quite compelling evidence not only for an ET presence on earth but also for a massive government cover-up of this very fact. I guess by now most people will already have declared me a crackpot with an unhealthy penchant for weed and the X-Files, but I couldn't care less about the prejudices of an ignorant, dumbed down and mind-controlled public. How did Nietzsche say: "Madnesss is rare in individuals but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule." I've looked into the subject matter and there's no denying that there've been many incidents for which there is no "natural explanation" and which simply cannot explained in any conventional way. I mean, there's mass UFO sightings by entire villages, former US military personnel telling of UFOs disabling all the rockets at a nuclear weapon site (official documents confirm this), a whole history of radar sightings of unknown aerial craft in NATO airspace during the cold war, military pilots from all nations sent off to intercept those damn things who report of close encounters with objects that behaved in a way no man-made aircraft possibly could (impossible speeds, turns at right angles, instant acceleration), sonar recordings of underwater objects as big as an aircraft carrier moving at a couple of Machs, and the list goes on and on. These phenomena are real.
I've also come to the conclusion that what "theorists" and "critics" have labelled "post-modernity" is not, as they argue, some kind of final stage of cultural development resulting from the historical and technological constellations of modernity, i.e. some kind of fatality that has come over mankind, but rather a global psy ops operation of an unprecedented scale by the powers that be. Hyper-materialism, mass media stultification, dissemination of propaganda in peace time by means of PR and advertising - have you heard of Edward Bernays? -, implementation of biopolitical and eugenical measures, the blurring of the boundaries between the concepts of man and machine, the massification and stereotyping of culture and the overall homogenization of society are all part of a mind-control agenda, that is possibly entangled in some way or other with the cover-up of the UFO phenomenon.
One example for how our perception and consciousness are being forced to conform to the dictation of a censored consensus reality is the way in which the entertainment industry, especially Hollywood, has habitualised us to expect to encounter extraordinary and "larger-than-life" events only in the cinema. We are so used to the fictionalization of unlikely and unbelievable occurrences that, if we are actually witness to them in real life, we are speechless and the first thing that comes to our mind is to say that "this is like out of a movie" (a phrase which, by the way, was probably the single most uttered statement on September 11th). But actually it's the
other way around, what's in the movies initially came from reality. Even if there are lots of movies that are purely fantastical expressions of human imagination, one should not be oblivious to the fact that cinema started as medium intented to represent reality. I often find it quite astonishing that we, as consumers of cinematic entertainment products, are perfectly capable of suspending our disbelief in order to uncritically immerse ourselves in scenarios whose irreality our rational mind is very much aware of. How does that work? And doesn't the ability of the human consciousness to take an illusion as a reality imply a kind of complementary ability or rather susceptibility to take a reality as an illusion?
It is precisely this latter human weakness which the engineers of post-modernity capitalise on: Evidence of the UFO phenomenon is widely available, it is undeniable that events have occurred that are so incredible and unusual and potentially world-shattering as to appear movie-like and the general public, being conditioned by their media consumption to regard such events as fictitious by nature, perceive actual facts and reports as mere pop culture items. Perfidious, but quite ingenious, isn't it? The most recent example of this kind of manipulation is upcoming blockbuster Sci-Fi alien invasion movie "Battle of Los Angeles" which is based on an actual UFO mass sighting in LA during WWII. A brightly, colourfully glowing orb appeared over the city, hovered around, was fired at by a massive array of anti-aircraft cannons, remained unscathed and abruptly vanished in a blink of an eye. There was quite a bit of collateral damage because of the AA projectiles, yet the military declared something along the lines of "there was nothing in the sky that night". Well, the techniques of desinformation have evolved, and rather than to outright deny and suppress unwanted information it has proven to be more effective to intermingle the actual with the fictitious so as to make the two indistinguishable.
Anyway, anyone interested in good introductions to the subject should watch the excellent 2001 documentary
"Out of the Blue" by James Fox or the superb lecture
"The Exopolitical Revolution" given by Stephen Bassett and then make up their own mind.
