I am pretty sure most of you know Jacques Vallée, lately he's been a lot on my mind and I think he already gave us the answer to the question what the UFO phenomenon really is. But please note this is a presentation of my own conjecture.
snip
NO ONE knows anything more about UFOs than what is found in the public record.
"Five specific arguments articulated here (Journal of Scientific Exploration 1990) contradict the ETH (Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis) 1. unexplained close encounters far more numerous than required for any physical survey of the earth 2. the humanoid body structure of the alleged "aliens" is not likely to have originated on another planet and is not biologically adapted to space travel 3. the reported behaviour in thousands of abduction reports contradicts the hypothesis of genetic or scientific experimentation on humans by an advanced race 4. the extension of the phenomenon throughput recorded human history demonstrates that UFO are not a contemporary phenomenon 5. the apparent ability of UFOs to manipulate space and time suggests radically different and richer alternatives"

Stop talking about other people. That's your problem, play nice and if you can't focus on the subject. You're not doing your argument a favour if you constantly bitch.
Ready to read, if you can keep it objective. Can you?

Good point, even we are talking about how we have to manipulate spacetime if we want to do meaningful exploration.
But if they'd come from far away, why do they care? What's their agenda then? Wouldn't it be better, if they'd be from here?
Where do you stand on ancient aliens?
Vallée interprets this high strangeness case as an intelligently manufactured illusion, simply because he sees it as purely irrational that real ETs would do such a thing. Vallée's fundamental flaw of assuming that non-human beings would behave as we do is quite astonishing and should be obvious to any intellectual thinker capable of double checking his own assumptions.

You think the government just knows, or are they collaborating?

Of course, there might be even more possibilities.
You only take it serious if you can acknowledge it's real, most have to experience to believe.
All I'm wondering about your stories is how you can be so sure what they are? Do you remember so much and so clear? Did you touch them?
You added a question.
My opinion? I wish I had one! There are reports of physical traces, radiation for example. But I don't know. If I hypnotise you I can do a lot of fancy stuff.
What if they're like parasites? We are too. But I strongly feel there is a deeper connection. And the reports of it are the problem. You compare to what you know.
Ghosts are reported to go with electro magnetic fields, if I remember correct. UFO goes with radiation. They could be the same but on a different scale.
Another great post! To answer your question, yes, they did physically put their hands on me, and they were hands with jointed fingers. I couldn't touch them, they control your actions before they even get close to you.
Tell me how radiation poisoning is a product of hypnosis? We both know that is not likely the case.
How about this, just one sentence to prove Vallee wrong once and for all, and to cut simply through this Gordian knot in one swing of the sword:
If these are mental projections and not metallic, physical ships, then how the hell can you take pictures of them?
Tell me how radiation poisoning is a product of hypnosis? We both know that is not likely the case.
That aside, there are over three thousand physical trace sightings of UFOs, do some homework on the issue.
