“That doesn’t explain many of the stories.

Humans have been seeing “weird stuff” ever since they came out of the caves. This guy has a huge chronology of this—focusing on weird creatures of every imaginable description:

Science just dismisses all of this stuff as “anecdotes”, but it may well be that Occam’s Razor is just chopping off our own heads.

“The Salem witch trials began in February 1692, when four children of Salem, Massachusetts, began suffering from fits, and complained of being “bitten and pinched by invisible agents”. When pressed to name their assailants, they accused Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and the slave Tituba, crying out “that they or specters in their shapes did grievously torment them”

There was of course, nobody doing any such thing. But anyone arguing such would be told that this proves witchcraft because the Devil can make himself invisible.

What you are describing is a theory that cannot be tested, or falsified. Mathematics is not describing them, because THAT math does not align with the world we can actually test.

I will be proven correct, but it will be another 200 years or so.
THAT is a religious belief, a faith if you will.
But it is not science.

Did you also know people make things up? For power, for fun, for profit, for entertainment, to explain what they do not understand, etc?

trust me, this Tic Tac craze is fake.

No harm. It actually made me chuckle. The post he replied to was out-there-ish, and not well written, I have to admit

I’m not sure I specifically buy the tic tac thing; but that’s one story out of thousands.

I guess I’m not so jaundiced that I view all of those people as liars. If you read or hear their accounts, a lot of them seem possessed of very good sense and observational skills.

Not all liars, many are confused, or psychologically wanting, NEEDING, to see things.

It serves me well. I also do not get frightened of “haunted” places.

And many are backed up by radar data.

I heard Jacques Vallee talking about the tic tacs, and saying that things seen on radar can be mistaken; they could be artifacts of the technology and creating a mistaken ‘picture’ of what was actually there and how it performed.

I’m waiting for the 2022 model UFO’s to come out before I believe.

Those old clunkers 100ft across glowing orange are hard to come by today.

Saucers - so 1950s

Tic-tacs are the new millenium UFOs, and the cube-in-sphere, those are the snazzy UFO’s for the 2020’s.

The point is, UFO’s follow very human development cycles and timelines as if they were aircraft under development, or cars off an assembly line.

If you had an interstellar craft that worked, why would you f around with it and risk being stranded on earth without a tow truck or cell coverage?

Whatever these are or aren’t they originate on Earth and follow design cycles typical of earthly vehicles.

A line up of more mere questions on a topic that is mostly all questions. Psychology today was looking for click bait.

In the zoo the ferals are in cages. Here they roam the streets.

That is probably why the high interest in this self-terminating species.

Do you know why the aliens remain hidden?

Answer: They figure in a hundred years we will kill off the human race and the little bastards will get the planet’s number one resource.

Spice? No. Diamonds, no.

Saltwater.

re: “witnesses claim the weapons were actually switched on and off—in more than one location....”

LOL... you got me laughing on that one! There are so many interlocks and crosschecks that - why am I explaining this to you? Most ppl can’t wire a simple lamp or explain how a flashlight works ...

re: “reliable military personnel includes film of craft entering and exiting the ocean”

There is an optical effect that explains this sort of thing; This is called a Fata Morgana. Its a complex form of superior mirage visible in a narrow band right above the horizon. ... Fata Morgana mirages significantly distort the object or objects on which they are based, often such that the object is completely unrecognizable.

I am not making the claim—the military sources cited in the book are making it.
