I’m surprised at how we are now casually accepting these encounters after years — decades — of ridicule and denial.
What changed? Not long ago, nobody would dare mention a UFO encounter for fear of being tagged as crazy. Now the squids are discussing these encounters over cocktails at the O-Club.
I’ve got a theory that aliens really HAVE visited us, and in fact they have bases and settlements here on Earth. Once the novelty of UFO Acceptance has worn off, I expect to see some big news about some rather short people.
This might explain Democrats?
“Not long ago, nobody would dare mention a UFO encounter for fear of being tagged as crazy.”
Not in my experience. Became a USAF fighter pilot in 1980 and over my 20-plus years flying fighters, pilots would talk openly about their sightings. No one mocked or thought they were crazy, no way, since over a career most would see something they couldn’t explain and were not crazy.
The “Did-you-see-that-I’m-not-telling-anyone” approach never happened and is more of a hollywood invention than anything else.
(If we saw something that we couldn’t understand or match in flight performance, we would report because there might be technology we need to know about so we could defend against it).
