What is it?

What the hell is happening?

I am 35 years old, and I have never been interested in or even thought of NHI as a remote possibility in my life. I would say I was a mix of being a skeptic and being distracted with other preoccupations to take a critical eye to this. I’m a 5th grade teacher and got sick toward the end of last week, and for the first time started paying attention to this story.

I know I’m not the first person to express this, and so maybe this gets deleted or overlooked, and I’m fine with that, but I have this weird sensation that I’m embodying that Zoolander meme — I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

I popped over to Instagram, browsed for a while on posts and stories, and did not see a single mention of the [whatever the hell we’re calling this event].

What?!

It’s not just basement sleuths posting grainy photos. It’s governors and mayors and local law enforcement calling for action and inquiry. It’s the DoD saying “we don’t really know” and then the Whitehouse saying “it’s planes.” It’s the Coast Guard saying “12-30 drones were following our 47-foot ship.” It’s testimony and anecdote. It’s things in the sky. It’s not just since November. It’s the Puerto Rico Aguadilla UFO. It’s the mass sighting in Wales in 1977. It’s cave paintings and medieval prints. It’s around us but ungraspable. It’s deafening and silent.

What is IT? And am I going insane?

EDIT: Wow, I did not expect this to gain so much traction. Thanks to everybody — even folks being dismissive or insulting — for your responses. It feels ridiculous and needless to say it out loud, but I am absolutely not taking everything I see on Reddit hook/line/sinker. I’m trying to hold a marginal space during this event and still believe there’s a very good chance of it being something completely ordinary and explicable. Happy to be wrong, half right, or any other combination of things. But please just know that, yeah, I’m not trying to frame this as a five-day conversion story. I’m opening, but still attempting to occupy that marginal position.

Anyway, it’s a gray muggy day out here in these parts, and I’m gonna go for a run to get some of that rain-clarified air. Hope everyone has a great, safe, thoughtful, and loving day. Received some really nice messages. No matter what this is, is not, may or may not be, we can only do one thing, in my opinion: love and serve one another, remain humble and skeptical and open and curious all at once. Cosmic good vibrations out there to everybody.
