As a UFO abductee, having resolved my personal feelings and biases enough to think somewhat clearly on the UFO situation,
I ask of you to do the same to the best of your abilities. Stop using the terms UFO/UAP. Those terms originally covered multiple unknown explanations for what was being seen, heard, photographed and otherwise recorded. The real objective is far beyond talking in terms of equipment. We know something about their convenances and tactics. We are powerless in those regards.
What we can sagely guess and estimate about their intentions. Can we determine their methods of operation and handiwork? Can we make projections of what is instore for us, and prepare ourselves to the best of our abilities, or do we simply roll over and absorb what our governments meter out for us to know?
I stretch no generalization when I say that on ATS the usual responses on UFO topics are denial, deflection and derailment. Any serious discussions about our predicament at the hands of the ETs is infrequent, superficial and too high-minded to be relevant to the situation at hand. I've posted several times of what I understand of how our civilization is going to be transformed by internal governmental actions to our outside expectations. I get almost zero responses which tend to indicate an avoidance of the whole topic.
Okey, the game is 100-to-zero in the ETs' favor. The officials (governments) are seemingly doing nothing to resolve the fact of the ETs being present at our globe nor to help prepare us for what the ETs may want from/for humanity. So, what is going on in your heads? Arre they in the sand? One of our human tactics, a failure of reason and logic, is to resort to "cognitive dissonance" which is to ignore a pressing problem to our nice, fat and happy view of existence. So where are you personally? Is there a deep personal fear that you will not recognize because it may destroy your entire world if brought to the fore?
Of course, we all want "Cargo Cult" goodies handed down to us by the ETs, and we may get some, but what will they want from us? What price must we pay, and who will set the price limits? Will we be given "offers" that we cannot refuse?
If pushed, I suppose the typical human will respond by saying, "Oh, they are only here to visit. They will respect our singularity, our privacy and, generally, be nice about it." That is a decent outlook, but is it realistic?
What do you believe about the4 ETS? Or what won't you allow yourself to believe about them?
What can you see in your day-to-day world that is being changed toward a future that seems to be becoming drastically narrowed and altered in various ways? Is our destiny in our hands or via governments through the appendages of others? Who decides?
