when I argue on ATS i am not doing it for the sake of argument. I truly deep down want the scientifi conspiracy to take a look at the UFO phenomenon
and study it, using the scientific method. but the scientific community wont touch it with 40 ft pole. Why? because its considered fringe. Why?
becuse of the so many unfounded claims and conspiracies.
This is where the scientific method is needed the most.

Some of them very disappointing. Like when Alien autopsy came out, I really truly deep down wanted it to be real. that would have been awesome and a
great story, but as time went on and evidence came about i couldnt deny to my own self the obvious, that it was a clever hoax.
that is where the evidence pointed. I always felt that maybe if scientists studied the phneomenon, not just UFO researchers who right books, maybe an
explanation could be achievd one way or another. So, the only way to get this to happen is to de--fringe the UFO phenomenon, which means exposing
unfounded conspiracy theories.
You know, people are very inquisitive these days. They dont need their hand held to go peepee. In other words, they are smart enough to spot a hoax, a
fabricated video, a faked picture, a wild claim with no evidence to back it up, and even smart enough to know the difference between something truely
unusual vs something obviously bogus.
Scientists in the mainstream science community wont come near the subject matter because of the redicule they would face from all angles. And why is
that? Simple. For the last 60 years, government has done quite a bit to discredit, derail and even have some loose their careers over the subject. All
they did was spend decades telling the public that its just swamp gas, Venus, mist, flock of high flying birds, weather ballons.
The scientists are not going to take the risk of becoming the next laughing stock of the mainstream community because there is active elements that
cause the ridicule in order to maintain the secrecy of the subjects. Why? Last time I heard was because of some stupid National Security reason.
What is so vital to keep secret about space, UFO's aliens, ruins, artifacts that would jepordize the national security? Absolutely nothing at all!
The only security it threatens is the control of society they have over us, keeping us down here on the planet while they spend all our money looking
at neat stuff and building things and expecting today's society to accept the mudane explanation of swamp gas and rocks.
Some have even said the reason for secrecy is because of the religious implications. Everytime I hear this, I think of the scene from the 1950's
movie "War Of The Worlds", when the preacher makes the statement "If they are highly advanced, they must be nearer the creator for that reason".
Of course in this production, he is killed by the invading Martians in their black and green machines. Again I always keep in mind, that if these
visitors wanted to take us out, that would have happend a long time ago.
All these sightings going on lately, some of which couldnt hold water much less hold up a craft in mid air. But not all of them are fake, hoaxes or
elaborate CGI animations. Some of them are actual visitations, encounters, experiences. And it is increasing.
If these things were a threat to anyone, our clocks would have been cleaned a very long time ago. If there was any speicies that was posing a threat,
it is US that poses the threat. We launch missile capable satellites up into orbit and park them there, easily swung around to aim not down at Earth,
but outward towards them. Our primative "tribal warfare" traits is what is a threat to them. They do not pose any threat to us what so ever.
These signtings, encounters and videos are only going to increase as each day goes by. And again, not all of them are hoaxes. Other nations are going
into space, they will discover what NASA and DOD already know, and WILL announce it to their people, as well as the world. And even tho it might sound
unlikely, it very well could come down to them out there comming in masses to make themselves known.
Instead of a gradual education process to these things, government, and NASA, has hidden these things for too long. Now its going to be a "crash
course" in disclosure. If there was anything that could cause a panic, a "War Of The Worlds" scenario, a crash course in meeting ET would do it.
The Brookings report was right for its time. The mindset of the people were not as sophisticated as they are today. The concept of what the Brookings
report and its reasons are antiquated, just as antiquated as the horse and buggy. It is a relic. The concept of its conclusions is a relic. The
reasons within it are a relic. The secrecy is a relic.
Its time to put humanity where it rightfully belongs.
Hopefully that will happen before someone else...like them out there, are the ones that end up educating us.
Cheers!!!!
