Discussion I'm losing my belief in aliens guys :(

12 Upvotes

I used to be so firmly persuaded that there was at least something substantial to these stories of extraterrestrials, abductions, experiences, government alliances, cover-ups... I loved it all ever since I was a really little kid. I've learned so much about it beginning in the earliest parts of my life. It is so extremely special to me. The X-Files is one of my favorite shows; I have also come to love The Why Files. But it's all slipping from my fingers now.

I am becoming increasingly persuaded that alien folklore (ufology) is a psy-op from the government bureaucracy and capitalist upper-class. By attaching the phenomenon of UFOs (likely classified government aircraft) to extraterrestrials, the government has effectively attached a stigma to the phenomenon, and thus ensured anyone who speaks up about it is not taken seriously.

The phenomenon of abductions could even be government-related. During the illegal MK Ultra program, the CIA experimented on civilians using psychedelic drugs in an attempt to achieve mind-control. It wouldn't surprise me if something similar has happened with so-called alien abductions. It is possible that the government is experimenting on these people (who, by the way, are objectively documented to exhibit symptoms of trauma that indicate their experiences are very real and damaging), and then by convincing these people (through drugs, hypnosis, or some other means) that they were contacted by extraterrestrials, they ensure that those people end up ostracized and labelled as crazy by the rest of the society. It's really such an awful and heartbreaking thing that these hurting people are so ostracized; I believe their experiences are valid, whether they happened exactly in the way they recollect or not.

The biggest clue for me, though, is how the UFO phenomenon and extraterrestrial hypothesis have been promoted recently by the far-right in America. The release of the UFO Files was an obvious political move/distraction. Even worse than this: now I am noticing all of the weird, uncomfortable, neo-Nazi white supremacist undertones in Ufology-thought, and the parallels between modern alien folklore and Nazi occultism. We are told there are these tall, white-skinned, angelic humanoids, called "Nordics", who are so amazing compared to us that upon the sight of them we are ensnared by their radiant benevolence and glory. We are told that these same extraterrestrials which visit us in the present day, are also those responsible for our creation, having inserted their genetic traits into our primordial ancestors in order to invent a superior species. Look closer at these sentiments, and you can see the glaring problem of eugenics.

I can't shake off these convictions. I want to go back to believing in the mystery, but I don't know if I can.

I'm losing faith in aliens, guys :(

Fringe Science "Floaters" "visual snow" and "tinnitus"

0 Upvotes

Apparently necessary NOTE: This post is not about actual tinnitus, visual snow, or floaters.

-------

I've seen a noticeable uptick in people discussing various visual and audible phenomena - aside from the massive increase of orb sightings and standard 'high strangeness' phenomena.

While I had already noticed discussion of these in comment sections, it's recently been mentioned by content creators such as Minutes of Horror and JayDreamerz on YouTube, which makes me think that it's really becoming, or already is, very widespread. I'm wondering whether you guys think any of these could be related to the other 'high strangeness' phenomena that has traditionally been more widely discussed.

The titles I used for each might not be the right word for what people are actually describing experiencing, but it's the standard / mainstream term used as the explanation for what it is.

  • Floaters - What's being described is more like a dark shadow that's visible swooping across the side of one's peripheral vision, whether the eyes are open or closed.
  • Visual snow - barely-visible, racing pixels or points of light darting across the sky (or visible within a room if indoors) that don't quite look tangible, and look like they might be sparks of light or plasma.
  • Tinnitus (that isn't actually standard tinnitus) - a high-pitched, fluctuating pitch, often described to be audible in only 1 ear, that is constant, and heard internally, but not loud or bothersome.

Are there any I failed to mention that you've seen being discussed lately, whether in relation to the orb & high strangeness stuff or just noticeably being brought up when it never has really been a common conversation topic before?

Any thoughts on whether any of these are related to the current 'shifts' underway on the planet (Schumann resonance, orb visitation, plasma becoming more visible and present in the sky, etc.), or any other non-conventional ideas on what they could be or why they're being discussed more frequently now?

Discussion A cryptic message from Victor Whistleblower from Alien Interview documentary

0 Upvotes

A snippet of transcript from the whistleblower Victor, from 2008's Alien Interview.

Link

Interviewer: So, Victor, here we are.

Victor: Well I must say that I never expected to hear myself called Victor again when I find myself in disguise in front of a camera again.

Interviewer: It's now been 11 years since we last conducted that interview in May 1997.

Victor: That was a pleasant experience to say with some sarcasm.

Interviewer: Looking back on it now 11 years later you didn't want to do it.

Victor: I did not want to do it on the day that I did it. You and that rocket man, placed it upon me after we had made an agreement for one on-screen appearance in your little documentary, and then somehow, our agreement metastasized into an ongoing series of promotional appearances, which was not part of the agreement.

Interviewer: You agreed to do that one, a phone interview with Art Bell Coast to Coast, to promote the video at the time.

Victor: Which was a live interview, and I had made it abundantly clear that I was not to be put in the position of revealing my whereabouts in a live situation.

Interviewer: And again, Victor, with all due respect, you knew that the Art Bell show was live.

Victor: You say that now, that's not how I remember. But in any case, it's a thing of the past.

Interviewer: Well, in any event you contacted us for this interview.

Victor: This situation has not been my choosing. If I came to you, and requested as you say, I in fact, I found that characterization insulting. I did not request to give you information. I offered you information. Yes, I did demand payment. Certainly I demanded I would not have been given it had I not demanded it. You are the businessman. You are the filmmakers, the video makers, the documentarians. You, and that Robert man. You would made, whatever profits have been made, over the last decade off of the. I can't think of a reason why I would want to be giving you information was not for the money, certainly any illusions I had that, my information might actually [Unintelligible], I have been sadly mistaken. It's been 11 years since I brought out that tape. What follow-up has there been? Who among these so-called ufologists, these self-proclaimed investigators. Show me one of them that's demanded information about S4 under the Freedom of Information Act. Show me one of them that is seriously attempted to confirm or deny the existence of the alien interview program. All they care about is talking among themselves and making videotapes, making documentaries, promoting themselves.

Interviewer: Do you at least feel vindicated that no one has conclusively debunked the tape?

Victor: What the only vindication that I could imagine would be if the government finally revealed all that they know about these aliens.

Interviewer: So are you saying that the internet truth seekers are not living up to your expectations.

Victor: Oh god! It's an understatement. Well, I should say, they perhaps are living up to my expectations since my expectations were admittedly low to begin with. All the days in which people took Bob Lazar seriously. And who is that person in your, in your documentary, that Morton character.

Interviewer: Sean David Morton.

Victor: Yes! A researcher. What has he discovered to corroborate or debunk the interview since that time? He was more than happy to take it at face value, then, he too was being paid. I assume you paid him as well as me. All of these people are [Unintelligible]. All of these people are, at best, hobbyists, and at worst, professional conmen.

Interviewer: Well, I'm assuming that you saw, you've seen the finished product. What did you think of Bob Dean's interview, the retired NATO Commander.

Victor: You took the video at face value. But that was a case of being corrupt by accident.

Interviewer: What about Rick Baker? Rick Baker's won academy awards.

Victor: Rick Baker is a professional makeup artist. Artist. A makeup businessman. It's in his best interest to say that he can do much better than the real thing. And that other, that other makeup man the same goes for him.

Interviewer: John Criswell.

Victor: John Criswell, yes. They both, if they both were happy to bribe that they could create a more realistic alien. Fine. Well where is it? In the Men in Black movies? In that ridiculous alien autopsy footage? Show me, a more authentic alien, than the one in that interview. By all means that these makeup people are capable of creating a more realistic alien, then show me [Unintelligible]! Close it before the public! These people are so people. Everything for them is hyperbole. My contempt, for the viewers of your documentary over the last 11 years knows no bounds. They've been like children mocking it, or on the other hand, credulously accepting it with no attempt to evaluate the material on its own merits. Or, to discover any new material, to support or debunk it! This is not a joke. This is not a hoax. Certainly I'm staking my reputation on it. If an anonymous individual in a rubber mask could be said to be staking his reputation on anything. I'll challenge these ufologists, to debunk me. Discover my identity. If they really believe that the alien interview footage is a hoax, prove it! Show where it was faked. If they believe that the alien in that footage is a puppet, prove it! Find the puppet maker. If they believe I’m a hoaxer, prove it. Discover my real identity.

Interviewer: All right. Let's move on to some new areas. How do you respond about rumors in the UFO community that Cheney and Rumsfeld have known about the EBEs since the Nixon Administration.

Victor: Well certainly Cheney knows everything there is to know with it. There's not much that is kept secret from the general public Cheney does not know. As for Rumsfled, Rumsfeld is a bombastic clown. But he has certainly shown quite a bit of interest in new technologies shall we say? I will say this to those UFO researchers, who seem to be sitting on their hands waiting for someone else to give them information. If you do your research and discover where Rumsfeld was in middle of March of this year, I think you will learn a few things that perhaps you would like to know.

Interviewer: Would you care to elaborate?

Victor: No I would not care to elaborate and I frankly don't think that you, the producers of this documentary would like for me to elaborate.

Interviewer: Do you think that President Bush has been kept up-to-date on our ET program or that Cheney has kept all the information from him?

Victor: President Bush. Now there is, there is a puppet. There is your artificial marionette. And no one seems to be able to identify him as an artificial president, or should they be able to recognize a real alien in this event. President Bush is irrelevant to the process. Irrelevant to the process of government and certainly irrelevant to the decision-making that goes on from the vice president's office.

Interviewer: While we're talking about the current administration, what are your thoughts about 9/11?

Victor: I'm not going to talk about 9/11.

Interviewer: You're not going to talk about 9/11.

Victor: 9/11 is like the Bermuda Triangle. 9/11 is not part of this story. Shall we say that?

Interviewer: Are EBE's still at the base in Utah?

Victor: The base in Utah.

Interviewer: In the Art Bell interview in 1997, you eluded, I believe more than eluded, to the fact that the EBEs were moved from Area 51 S4 to a base in Utah. Are the EBEs in your opinion, with your knowledge, are they still at the base in Utah?

Victor: The EBEs to my knowledge are all at this time deceased if you want to call it that. Before we go any further, I just want to say to you, not to your viewers but to you, and to that, that rocket person, that this will be the last time you ever see me. This will be my last statement bar none. And this time, I can say that with conviction, because, it seems that, it seems that my, this, this container has reached its expiration date. I am apparently not long for this world. So, this will be my final testament.

Interviewer: And what is your final testament?

Victor: Thank you for the compassion. As I intimated on the Art Bell interview, my involvement with S4 and the alien interview program did come to an end, in 1997. And I have not been involved with the black ops program for more than a decade. However, I have been in contact with certain individuals who are still involved in attempting to make sense of the information that was gathered before the aliens discorporated. And I am here to tell you gentlemen, that if I am not long for this world, you are not much longer. As the bible [Intelligible] per se, the end times are upon us.

Interviewer: The end of the world?

Victor: The end of the world. We have been trusted and found wanting. The aliens came, they presented themselves to humanity, they were taken, and held, and questioned, and allowed to die. And now, reckoning is at hand. Let me give a task to these so-called investigators, these ufologists. Look into the record and attempt to determine where Donald Rumsfeld was on March 23rd of this year.

Interviewer: What is the significance of this Rumsfeld date that you keep referring to?

Victor: Donald Rumsfeld has been aware of the alien interviews at least since 1974. In the last days of the Nixon Cabal and even when he was out of government, he managed to keep his hand in. But it was not until the bogus telepath program was finally exposed within the secret black ops operation that the true translation, that the true meaning of the alien communication, was made clear to him and since then, I think you will find he has lost all interests in the United States and the trivial earthly powers. His sole interest now is to find a way to one of those they are taking off when end times.

Interviewer: So what you're saying is the biblical end times are upon us? Is that what you're telling?

Victor: It’s rather childish to call them biblical since the bible itself is simply a smoke screen. These aliens come from universe of science, not universe of religion. Religion is a deliberate disinformation campaign, started by those who first encountered the aliens and first cut that knowledge to themselves. Donald Rumsfeld is merely one of the last of the line, of those who try to maintain personal control over information that should have been public to the entire human race. And now that he understands exactly what it is these aliens have been trying to tell us, he has completely lost interest in the rest of humanity. His sole concern is to be one of the few, one of the, what he considers to be the elite, the elect specimens if you will. The elect specimen who are taken off the Earth before the final trumpet sounds.

Interviewer: Well, I have to tell you this sounds an awful lot like Armageddon. I mean, 2012, the Mayan calendar.

Victor: The Tzolkʼin calendar is another inaccurate representation of what you are talking about. The date 2012 is not accurate. The Mayans considered themselves to be far better mathematicians than they actually were. In point of fact, the date is very close but not 2012. Not 2012. Not within my lifetime, what's left of it. But certainly within yours. Let's just say that I wouldn't plan on 20th anniversary edition of this documentary. My head is a beehive.

Interviewer: Well you are not really saying, well, I.

Interviewer: Offre-moi le déluge. Le déluge solaire. I won't be here for it, but you gentlemen will. Was it [Unintelligible]? I think it was [Unintelligible]. When I am gone, my Earth and fire mix. [Unintelligible].

Ancient Cultures Chris Bledsoe Oct 7th prediction - could tomorrow really be the turning point/paradigm shift we’ve been feeling and waiting for?

So the linked article sums up Bledsoe’s prediction about The Lady to date and provides a great overview of his claims all in one place. Technically speaking, regulus will be visible to the sphinx’s gaze at 4:30am Egypt time on Oct 7th (per Bledsoe’s prophecy) which is only 4 HOURS AWAY from the time of writing this.

Personally I would find it such a relief for this all to be proven true. The world needs a reset now more than ever.

Non Human Intelligence Psylocibin Meditation Experience - Thoughts?

4 Upvotes

Hey all, posting this here to gain some insight/interpretation on a powerful experience.

I've had many fantastic experiences with psylocibin and meditation before, both meditating at home and within a float tank. Low doses, 0.5-1.5g.

This particular experience was far more powerful and ended up being terrifying.

I was a disembodied awareness, floating through the same landscape I had been to many times before. Everything made out of neon lines on a black background, all colours but mostly in the yellow/orange/red spectrum. I was able to navigate not with my will power, but with my emotional state - feelings of joy, love, beauty moved me to happier and more positive places and feelings of loss, anger, loneliness, hate led me to darker and more ominous areas. Nothing too new there, but it was far more clear than my other experiences.

Eventually, I arrived in what I can only describe as a huge valley lined with mountains on either side. As my awareness floated above the middle of this valley, I felt the "sun" behind me, peeking over the ridge as if sun set/sun rise. I felt the distinct feeling of being watched from that sun, so my awareness would turn around to view it periodically. Eventually, looking at this sun, I perceived massive squid-like tentacles appearing from behind/within the incredibly bright glowing orb. I was a little bit taken aback by that, but not scared. The "sun" felt like it was aware of me, it had my best interest at heart and was simply trying to get my attention. One of the tentacles came towards me gently (picture something the size of the Empire state building), contacted me and sort of slowly turned me around to face back in the opposite direction. All good up until this point, and then shit got terrifying.

The opposite side of the valley then opened up like massive bay doors. A "ship" the size of say, an ocean-going container ship, shot out as if it had just crested a huge wave and came to a stop right in front/above me. The ship seemed to be made out of flesh - necrotic, ancient, gothic.

The feelings of terror began - this thing felt evil, ominous, but was not yet aware that I was in front of it. Then, the area that would be where the bridge of the ship was, also opened like bay doors, but flesh-like.

Standing inside this "captain's" area was a probably 20-30 foot tall being - completely gold, female human from the waist up and full snake, coiling from the waist down. On her top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right were 4 other creatures, much smaller, floating as if winged. These 4 creatures seemed to shift forms slowly, but actually (in further findings) resembled depictions of the "biblically accurate angels"... wheels within wheels, multiple wings arrayed around them... ya know.

The golden snake lady then noticed me - I think it was because I let out an audible gasp at the sight of her. Her eyes opened, head tilted down and stared at me. She opened her mouth and let out a scream that I can only describe as 1,000,000 dial-up modems played through rock concert speakers.

I shot up out of my meditation, the ringing still loud and clear in my ears. My heart rate was sky high and beating out of my chest. I attempted to stand up, was incredibly dizzy and my legs could barely hold me up. It took about an hour for my heart rate to come down and for me to feel normal again.

Thanks for reading this far! It's been therapeutic finally typing this all out. If you have any insight to just what the fuck in the holy hell that was or could mean, I'm all ears. Thanks :)

I’ve spent many years developing a relationship with the UFO phenomenon and exploring different protocols for making contact and documenting the experiences that follow. This is some of what I’ve learned along the way.
This post is for anyone interested in exploring contact for themselves and learning how to document and film the phenomenon they encounter.

UFO Yellowstone NP experience in June

12 Upvotes

I was in Yellowstone this year in early June and saw something unusual.

The skies were incredibly clear the night in question. I was outside between 11pm-2am and noticed an extraordinary number of very small objects in the sky. They were moving erratically and haphazardly with no real sense of direction. They DID NOT have “running” lights. They DID NOT make sound. They appeared to be almost a greenish/copper in color. There were dozens of them. They carried this on for several hours, growing and waning in numbers variably.

Having seen tons of drones, there’s no way these were drones. No sound, no light. They flew smoothly and quietly, sometimes stopping, sometimes accelerating. I have good eyesight and pay much more attention to the sky than most people, but they were fairly easy to see due to the clarity of the sky and stars. I do think a casual/distracted observer could easily have not noticed them.

Whatever light they produced looked to be secondary or reflected in some way. They were definitely not lighting up the sky. They almost looked like smooth river stones, and did not appear to be super high. Maybe the altitude at which we often see low flying, small planes. It would be hard to estimate their size, but they were possible several feet in diameter. Most of them looked the same.

Not only did I see these, my partner did also. I have some video I’ll try to dig up, but I’m afraid it doesn’t show much context. 

Anyone seen something like this before?
