this is why they’ve decided to reveal themselves. we’re all becoming too online. it’s time to accept us into the galactic link so we can post together in space harmony. ignore the vektrons they’re universally poo poo posters

Disaster strikes after their ambassador lands on the white house lawn, puts on a gold ring, and turns around to perform what they believe is the traditional Earth greeting.

Whatever else happens, it's obvious they've been practicing.

If these UFOs are moving around so fast in the atmosphere, tens of thousands of miles per hour etc, then why aren't they heating up the air from friction? Or creating massive sonic booms?

Here's an example of the Nike Sprint, which went mach 10, launching and immediately heating up and creating a vapor/plasma trail:

Would seem to suggest they're not material

They are flying around in another dimension only dipping into ours momentarily

Most abduction accounts are probably sleep paralysis. One time i had sleep paralysis and i couldn't move anything besides my head/neck. I looked down my body and i saw a being made of flechettes of reflective material tumbling through a humanoid shaped light, standing at the foot of the bed. After shrieking for awhile I got real mad and i kicked out of bed over the foot of the bed and into the light being, doing karate moves. It appeared crestfallen and disappeared

I had exactly two “dreams” about being abducted.

basically I lived on the river growing up out in the county in Tn and had a balcony room with a sliding glass porch thing.

when I was 13 or 14 I had a dream that I woke up around 2 to a saucer floating outside my house behind the trees by the balcony. spinning with lights like the movies or whatever. three humanoids materialized onto the balcony and then opened my sliding door and materialized inside my room. then I woke up at like 5 am.

anyway I had that dream exactly twice. I had a lot of sleep paralysis as a kid in that room but not like that

if you really want to experience sleep paralysis these are the steps to take:

set your alarm for 5 in the morning

turn it off and go to sleep on your back facing up

there is no step three

remember to take a deep deep deep breath and wiggle your legs if you need to wake up

I had a bunch of sleep paralysis episodes from 2014-2016. The worst was thinking I was hearing my roommate being strangled in the room next to me, but being unable to move or say anything. It went quiet, then I saw a silhouette move into my room towards me. I'm full on trying to scream at this point and eventually do, waking myself up and the roommate.

Yeah sleep paralysis is sleeping in a soft mattress on your back so your blood pools in your torso as your heart rate decreases during sleep, your arms and legs fall asleep so if you wake you won't have any sensation in your limbs for a minute or so

I wonder if there is any correlation to your unconscious dream/mental state of having your arms and legs fall asleep and if it causes you to have more lucid dreams or something

I don't know, my heart rate goes down into the 40s when I'm sleeping and I don't sleep on a particularly hard bed, I think some people are just more likely to experience it than others

I do kind of want to experience it out of curiosity but it doesn't sound pleasant at all

When i had it my throat was also paralyzed or something because i was trying to scream but all that came out was a tortured high pitched noise and i experienced maybe a minute of primal monkey terror. Interesting experience tho

I get sleep paralysis fairly regularly (maybe twice a month) and eventually you just sort of get used to it, like "oh I guess hands are gonna come out of the ceiling and hold me down while the room fills with eyes again tonight, that's not great" but with some practice you can snap out of it, the trick is to get really really angry

if you're in bed with someone you might also consider tapping SOS on them if you can get your fingers to move, i've had that work before too
