Surging Belief in Alien Visitors Is Becoming a Serious Problem For Our Society
https://www.sciencealert.com ^ | 03 September 2024 | ByTony Milligan, The Conversation

The idea that aliens may have visited the Earth is becoming increasingly popular. Around a fifth of UK citizens believe Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials, and an estimated 7 percent believe that they have seen a UFO.

The figures are even higher in the US – and rising. The number of people who believe UFO sightings offer likely proof of alien life increased from 20 percent in 1996 to 34 percent in 2022. Some 24 percent of Americans say they've seen a UFO.

This belief is slightly paradoxical as we have zero evidence that aliens even exist. What's more, given the vast distances between star systems, it seems odd we'd only learn about them from a visit. Evi

“This belief is slightly paradoxical as we have zero evidence that aliens even exist. “

Since when did testimonial, photographic and video evidence stop becoming evidence? Since state-controlled “official narrative” became the only source for evidence?

Totalitarian lackey bump.

They will have to have something to “explain” the rapture to all those left behind when it happens. They will just blame it on aliens.

Who is making money off of these claims?

The only Aliens in the USA are those illegals streaming across the southern border.

“Believe they have seen a UFO”?
I was on a project at Fort Hood. One evening just after dusk a co-worker and I were driving out of Lake Belton Outdoor Recreation where we were staying. We saw dozens of orange orbs flying around the lake and on the land where the army performed maneuvers.
Impossible accelerations. We were stone cold sober. The orbs split, combined. It was amazing.
“Believed” we saw UFO’s? What would you call them?

Personally, I dont see the bfd. Id look if a UFO flew over and would protest an anal probe but the chances of either are slim so it’s all low on my give a damn list.

UFOs routinely operated on military ranges when I was in the Army. I lived near base and even encountered them post-service until they closed the base to ID holders. The craft were even coordinated with range control for which Training Areas (TAs) to use.

The closet visual I got was one night at NTC in ‘94 when an officer requested a new TA cuz he thought WP was on ours. (It wasn’t. I was the Recon Sgt and had ID-d the white powder as flour from marine training rounds). We got in the new TA late, almost midnight. About 1am 3rd PLT calls me over to their position. “Whazzat SGT Justa”. Abot a half mile south, over a crest is an orange disc working out. Basic, rudimentary maneuvers. Orange to hover, red to go up, green when going down. Up, down, left-right, front back. Then orange to hover. It raised up an additional ~100’ at orange, hovered, turned really bright white. Then... poof. Blinked out and blinked in about 2 miles to the west. Instantly. Then goes back to orange, descends to original height and ambles back to our south. I thought “that was the profile of a classic military training exercise”.

Being artillery, I shot an azimuth on its direction of travel and marked, then plotted it on my field map according to its direction of travel. This was the early days of the internet so I could only check it out when back at our homebase by stitching maps together. I did and ran the azimuth looking for something it intersected as we were in the desert of NTC. That azimuth intersected Tonapah, NV/Area 51.

There was/is a Freeper where I first heard the idea that UFOs are demonic manifestations. Looking into it more, and thinking about it more, that is what I believe that they are.

Well, the ones that aren’t our own government’s latest secret aircraft.

Oh, yes I need to explain ‘coordination with range control’. So when the officer called in to Range Control we all had to stand fast in the current TA, you know the one supposedly with White Phosphorus in it. He was back and forth with them and we waited. He was refusing the current TA and had asked for another. It took over 3 hr.s, to after 11pm, to get our new assignment which was 1 TA to the north of the UFOs ‘assigned TA’ -IMO.

[Something is coming.]

Indeed it is. Something is indeed coming. You can feel it.

Now many don’t believe in the pre-tribulation Rapture. I get that. BUT, “space aliens” “beaming people to their spaceships” will become the “most plausible theory” - IMHO

And the world will believe it. God will send Strong Delusion so that people will believe the lie associated with the rise of the Antichrist.

That’s my theory FWIW. YMMV

I just want to see ONE alien spacecraft up close.

Just ONE. On display somewhere. Just ONE.

Been posted before but bears repeating…
These are what used to be called demonic entities. We don’t believe that because we no longer have a biblical worldview. Let the deception begin (again).
As in th days of Noah so shall it be in my he days of the coming of the Son of Man. - Jesus
