We all write about the internet and how it has changed the UFO frontier but something else has happened that is has hardly been noticed. We now have a never ending UFO flap via the internet from all over the world. Day after day we see a UFO flap end in one country, only to see another UFO flap start up in another. Now it doesn’t take days or weeks to read about these great reports. We read about them on the internet almost instantaneously. This, of course, generates interest in UFOs in many counties which generates more people looking up which generates more UFO sightings. This is a win/ win situation.
UFOs have been reported worldwide for over 60 years but it was hardly known to the public. Now we have UFOs springing up and hitting the internet every day in one area or another. UFOs travel around the planet. They even seem to visit certain areas repeatedly so the only reason they are missed is because no one is bothering to look up. In big cities people tend not to look up. Believe me, I live in New York City and I have observed people and noticed they just don’t look up except to see the architecture of a building or for an address. However, people who do see UFOs in New York City are people who are interested and go up on their roofs and star gaze. We just had two friends come into the “NY UFO Meeting Group” and talk about objects they witnessed while on a roof.
Most of us who have been around the UFO corner a few times know UFOs are a very important matter…no matter what they turn out to be. UFOs not only act intelligent, they act very intelligent. They are not “Star Trek” propelled forward by something shooting out of their rears. They are way beyond classic science fiction because they easily defy the laws of physics. UFOs became a modern phenomenon around the most dangerous time in human history. The Second World War and the nuclear buildup were beyond question a time of stress for the whole planet. UFOs scared people. The majority of the good sightings, along with the atomic bomb and rockets, made many more Americans take notice of UFOs. I remember my brother reading in the NY Times about UFOs around Washington DC. It was the headline. UFOs didn’t start to appear in the New Mexico skies because we were frightened of the bomb; UFOs started appearing in the Mexican skies despite our fear of the bomb. If there was one thing the people back there didn’t want ... it was a new fear.
UFOs have challenged our physical laws. This is a big one for scientist to swallow. Humans have figured out the basic laws of physics and have even gone beyond that. When most of that is figured out wouldn’t the next step be to try and change the laws of physics? Are we on the verge of this now?

It takes a cultural shock for the larger population to respond to UFOs. This has happened in the past with UFOs and will happen again. These sensational UFO reports are commonly UFO encounters by unimpeachable witnesses who shock the world…at least for a time. Now, what you have is country after country producing these impeccable UFO witnesses in real time via the internet. We also now have UFO spotters in different countries; people who spend part of their lives watching the skies and it seems to pay off. We have more Americans believing UFOs are real than any other time in the history of our country.
I predict this summer will contain some of the most startling UFOs encounters to date. This winter has been a bad one (where is global warming when you need it?) and people don’t tend to stay outside and look at the stars in an especially snowy, cold winter. If we take a look at the recent reports in the National UFO Reporting Center we find that November, December, and January of 2009/2010 respectively had 300, 255, 239 UFO reports, this in contrast to 569,469, 579 reported cases in July, August, September of 2009 when warm weather abounds.

What does all this mean? Well, it means that people are interested. They are looking up more now than ever and they are seeing things. UFOs are second only to pornography in interest on the internet and just like porn, it’s not going away. Haven’t you noticed during this cold winter just when you thought UFOs sightings were dying down, something happened some place in the world to spark tremendous UFO interest again? This is not going to end because the internet, so far, is not driven just by commercialism; it is driven by information gathering. For all of you who wish to know what is going on in the UFO world I suggest you subscribe to a bulletin on UFOs. One of the best is Alien Case Book (they also have a paranormal newsfeed). It is free, of course:

A great web page to keep you up to date on all UFOs and Paranormal news is: “The Anomalist”:
For those of you out there who have finally internalized just how important the UFO ET reality would be to this divided dogmatic world, your UFO ride has just begun.

What do you think this decade will bring in terms of UFO encounters? It seems hard to pin point classic evidence rich sightings in the 90s and 00s while some sightings in the early days of Ufology were some of the best proff of such objects. I think it might be because the internet has led to a info overload on UFO data. Following that point, what cases in the past 25 to 30 years do you think will be solid casebook examples like Betty and Barney Hill? I think the second question would make a great post!!:)

Dear Popintellect,
ReplyDeleteI think 2012 will bring the highest UFO sightings in over two decades. beyond that I think if we discover an earth like planet within the next decade. UFOs will be taken very seriously.
Could you just clarify that suggestion you made? I'm very dense at times.

Dear Nathan,
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea the 10 best cases in the last 50 years. Good idea I will think about it.
Thanks

With the future advances in digital camera tech (we'll have these new cameras within 2 years), we are bound to get much more high quality UFO photos. Yes, I do believe things will get very interesting by Twenty-Twelve!
ReplyDeleteDear Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYes my wife has a digital camera that videos in HD. We now have video cameras in HD. This will lead to better quality, however I still believe it is hard to get clear defined photos of UFOs, unless they are hovering or straight on, because they change the space around them when they fly.
Thanks

While you're correct Joe, the Internet has increased the proliferation of reported UFO sightings, I think it has also added just as much, if not more, noise into the mix than ever before. If you review the old UFO books and testimony and compare what is going on today I think you have to conclude that we haven't progressed in any real way in understanding the UFO phenomena. It is still a large mystery. It might even be said that with the advent of the Internet it is even easier for outstanding UFO reports or evidence to be marginalized and neutralized. With the advent of cheap, easy to use, digital image processing software, an 8 year old can produce realistic, convincing UFO photographs and video footage. More and more UFO 'evidence' appears on the Internet daily. However, as I've already mentioned, none of it appears to add one iota to our understanding of the phenomena itself. As attractive as the ET hypothesis might be, we still have no viable evidence that proves these things are truly of on an ET origin. We have no evidence of their origin whatsoever. We just have the same theories that were being batted around in the 50s and 60s. The exact same ones! It seems that the mystery and secrecy surrounding the phenomena isn't controlled by human agencies but rather by the phenomena itself. Given its history and continued behavior I hold little or no hope that it will choose at some future date to reveal itself to mankind. In fact, I have begun to wonder if it might not be possible for it to do so. Think about how impossible it would be for humans to "reveal" themselves to any other species that live on this planet that is beneath us on the food chain. John Lilly spent his life attempting to communicate with dolphins. While it can be argued that he made some progress it never reached past the level of your average alien abduction experience. Perhaps "they" can no more land on the White House lawn and announce their presence than we could announce ourselves to a pod of dolphins. Yeah sure we could make them notice us, scare the b-jesus out of them, maybe even befriend them by feeding them some fish, but actually understand each other? Probably not. I think we're screwed by the limitations imposed upon us by our species operational specifications. Figuratively speaking, we can't get our Commadore 64 code to comprehend the code running on their Cray CX1-iWSs no matter what we do! While I do feel that the study of the phenomena is important and necessary, I think we have realize we are pretty much at its mercy as far as any real understanding or even detection of it goes. Pardon me for my cynicism but I paid for it in full and I like to whip it out occasionally to feel like I'm getting my money's worth.
ReplyDeleteDear Trained Observer,
ReplyDeleteA well thought out comment and a reality dose for sure. However the idea that we haven't figured out the true nature of what is here actually lends credence to the idea that they may not only be technologically superior, but even psychologically superior to us. In every way they have befuddled explanation and yet at the core of the phenomenon is evidences of some possible ET common sense strategy. They monitored us during very dangerous times and have seemed to send warning messages to the powers that be. For me when it comes to humans causing possible harm to them they don't mind stepping out of their many, many faces and flexing their advanced tech muscles.
Thanks

Joe,
ReplyDeleteI think the only way we could possibly harm "them" is if they are "here" in a permanent and big way. If they are truly "out there" somewhere then we could pose no danger to them whatsoever. The advent of nuclear energy and weapons is absolutely meaningless and here is why. Nuclear energy is pretty useless for interstellar travel. We will not be jumping in nuclear powered starships and zooming off to the stars anytime in the foreseeable future. To travel to the stars with any kind of lethal intent (packing atomic heat) would require us to develop something even more dangerous and powerful than our present nuclear technology could ever be. If they have bases here and have been here since ancient times then whose planet it is anyway? We seem to be the johnny-come-lately not them. I think it is convenient for "them" (and perhaps the government) for us to think they are from somewhere else. However, I think it is a mistake to come to any real "belief" one way or another about it. Viewing things through an established belief system causes a person to interpret data in a certain way. Hence the interpretation of some that UFOs are demons and so forth. It is the same for the ET hypothesis. I honestly think that they don't care if we see them or not. Sightings are just accidents of perception. The phenomena is indifferent much as we would be if we went for a walk in the woods and startled some squirrels that happened to see us.
Dear Trained Observer,
ReplyDeleteUFOs came out in droves during the second world war and during our nuclear buildup. I believe for a very long time these visitors have large bases here on earth. I also feel that if they didn't care we would be positive of their existence because they would land anywhere they wanted. I am sure you've studied Ted Phillips. Many of his landing cases describe UFOs which seem to be in trouble and landing in the rural areas. Which is what would be expected if they didn't want to be discovered. Also if you believe some of the entities sightings reports, usually if the beings do not initiate contact, they end up trying to hide and get away. This has been reported in dozens of credible UFO reports.
This does not mean they want us completely in the dark but it does mean for me they want to do, what ever they do, with us, in their time and with as much control as possible.
I also believe the military knows they are here but the only messages between our government and these ETs is done through the overt actions by these beings and their UFO craft, like at Stephenie Texas as they headed toward the Presidents ranch, the Washington DC flyby or nosing around and interfering in out top military facilities.
This is how humans talk, mostly in these situation, by actions not discourse. As I have always maintained these ETS know us psychologically better than we know ourselves.
There is no conclusive proof that these are ETs but we are here and there's a great deal of planets out there and the only thing standing in their way of them coming here is our interpretation of the Universe.
Thanks
