I’ve already seen several trending posts on here along the lines of “I have xx scientific background, never thought this was legit, is it?” Etc. etc. Totally happy to have anyone and everyone who is interested and enthusiastic about learning more.
I just want it to be clear: this subject is the target of relentless past, present, and future disinformation, bad actors, conflicting accounts, and well-meaning irrational people. At every level. This is and likely always will be true.
Yes, UFOs are legitimate and nonhuman, yes it is fascinating to study them. But you must be aware of and wary of these “bad actors”, grifters, etc., and also be willing to sift through them. There’s an incredible amount of publicly available information on the subject, but you must check your sources, be willing to be wrong, and keep an open mind. It’s not as simple as learning other topics because of this environment of conflicting interests.
Just an example, you have
- many of us - the curious, open minded, wanting to know what’s happening.
- the citizens, both on this sub and not, that do not believe it and are not curious.
- the citizens that have an interest in it being shut down, whether due to fear/personal conflict, commercial interest, etc.
- the government and/or private parties that do not want this information released.
- the government employees that do want this more open.
- the gov and private groups that have religious, national security, etc. fears about releasing info.
- the nonhuman intelligences themselves - motive unknown
Any topic is influenced by the different interests, but the sheer number of potential impacts this one could have has led to a messy web, that stretches decades. You can still figure it out, it just takes a little longer.
