I thought the Fourth Kind would be lame as hell, but it's pretty great. Its stupid narrative conceit ends up driving it in much scarier directions than would be possible if it just had one narrative.

A MIRACLE
Sep 17, 2007

All right. It's Saturday night; I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix-tape... Let's rock.

FOR READABILITY) It's hard to post this because of all the skepticism and criticism by so many who read posts others share about their encounters. Plus I suck at writing and I have major ADD/ADHD and staying focus and on point is very hard for me. So here's my story... I've had contact with these "Nordic beings" . If this story comes across as incoherent, rambling or scatter brained I apologize because again it's really hard to talk about and my nerves are ugh. Anyway, I'm Native American (Comanche/Kiowa/Choctaw) with some British and German mixed in for good measure. My dad is full blood Comanche/Kiowa.

Anyway, I had always heard stories from my family and tribal elders when I was young about the "beautiful people from the sky." One day I got a a call and was invited to go out to Anadarko, OK. with some tribal elders and spiritual leaders. All I can say is that when I saw these Nordic beings I couldn't believe it. I wasn't scared which is weird when I reflect on it. I couldn't believe they seemed to have a relationship with the people that I knew and loved. It was all so surreal. I had an experience when I was at a scout camp when I was 14 where I went missing for 12 hours. I had no memory then nor do I have any memory now of what happened for the 12 hours I went missing that night but I've always believed I was abducted because before I went missing I was watching this object in the sky doing incredible maneuvers. I wound up getting in so much trouble and was accused of playing a prank by the community and my mom's side of the family (they're 1/2 British 1/4 German and 1/4 Choctaw) but they have never really embraced their native heritage.

My disappearance was deemed to be a "prank" and that was what was reported in the news. To clarify, the news story had no mention of an abduction it was only about an eagle scout who had been missing for 12 hours. The criticism and accusations of being called a liar deeply affected me for many years. On my dad's side of the family we call my mom's side "tosa" because they embrace their white heritage and ignore their native heritage. Anyway, during the encounter in Anadarko my uncle said that I was the boy they took back in 86. My jaw dropped. Anyway, like I said it's hard to talk about because there's no way to prove it as it's just my word and I'm just some random guy on the internet that many people are going to diagnose as having mental health problems.

The thing that strikes me the most is how beautiful these beings were. There was an obvious male and female. They were very tall and had the most incredible eyes. Now I'm short (5'6) so everyone's tall to me but these two were at least 7' tall if not taller. The thing is, I've had many encounters since then but I've never experienced any with the typical grey aliens so many others have. Most of my encounters took place in the oceans. I don't live anywhere near the ocean, but that's were we go more times than not.

I think people need to take USO's more seriously. There may be other beings involved in other areas like space or deep earth, but I've not encountered any. Again I have no ability to prove what I'm about to claim but there's some malevolent beings about to make their presence known. I can also confirm that the paranormal is closely connected with these beings. Different dimensions is also a reality when it comes to this phenomenon. I don't know about time travel. I've never been made aware of time travel being real during any of my encounters. I know for a fact that not all abduction and encounters are good where people are given messages of peace and hope. So many people who've just disappeared and were never seen or heard from again are victims of these unfortunate encounters.

I wish more people accepted that those with abduction stories do have a lot of common characteristics. One being that many abductees seem to be gifted with abilities that some people describe as "psychic" phenomenon. My family lineage is that of what is commonly referred to as "medicine man". I've been taught about native medicine and spirituality since I was a boy as that is what my grandfather was and several great grandfather's before him and I later found out that that is why I was invited to Anadarko that day. My last name literally translates to "teepee by the water" because my ancestors were the spiritual leaders or "medicine men" and water is a major factor when practicing native medicine. People always say, why don't abductees have anymore proof than their words? I wonder if the people asking this ever realize how ridiculous that sounds. They don't give us souvenirs or group pics to show everyone. People thinking that an abductee can just take out their phone and snap a pic is just silly.

The only thing I have to validate my story is an article from the Lawton Constitution were I went missing because 2 basic training classes (Ft. Sill was close to the site), the Comanche county sheriff's department and tribal police along with bloodhounds were all out looking for me throughout the night. Not to mention all of the scout leaders and parents. They originally thought I had been attacked by a bear or a cougar. To be clear, there was no mention of an abduction or of the craft I claimed I saw in the news article. I don't want to embellish and make it seem as if that was reported. Even tho I was found unconscious next to a tree 50 yards from the campsite 12 hours after I went missing I was accused of hiding from everyone. That makes no sense because I would've obviously been found that close to the campsite with the amount of resources that were involved looking for me not to mention the dogs.

I also have proof of passing lie detector tests about my encounters after encouragement from my wife to get some answers and resolve some doubts I had been struggling with regarding these experiences. The most compelling thing I have was discovered in my left ankle after a compound fracture June 2020. There was some implant device in my left ankle. The doctors asked about any previous surgeries and what this was for. I had no answers as the only surgery I had had up to that point in my life was for an umbilical hernia and wisdom teeth extraction. Discovering that device answered so many questions tho.

Anyway, I truly believe our reality about humanity is about to fundamentally change in ways that people can't even begin to imagine. Another common thing about abductees is depression which I've struggled with my entire life. It mostly comes from "knowing things" (I know that sounds crazy) that people often refer to as psychic phenomenon. My grandmother (Kiowa) said it was a gift I was blessed with by our creator and that I've been given strong abilities. The thing is, I never asked for it and it's not such a great thing to have even tho there are frauds out there that capitalize on it by claiming they are "psychics" when in reality they're nothing more than con artist.

Fortunately, unlike many abductees (ie throwaway), I've managed to stay pretty grounded have have a pretty good life. I'm in the pet services industry and own a nice business in TX that employs 25 people. My wife is a very accomplished MD (psychiatrist) with 2 offices that employs 3 other doctors and 13 employees. We have 2 great and well adjusted children, each from a previous marriage. Anyway, thanks for giving me a forum to share my experiences. This honestly was pretty hard because the fear of talking about these events are real with real consequences. Throwaway's courage to come out really empowered me to begin to open up and share some of my experiences online.

Unlike him, I've never been told that a specific event was going to happen on a specific date. The only thing I'm basing my statement on regarding disclosure is from my own conclusions based on my own experiences along with many prophecies told by various tribes, tribal elders and spiritual leaders. For those of you who may feel the need to diagnose me with whatever mental illness they think I have I'd like to remind you that my wife is a psychiatrist and she asks that you please DM me what criteria you used to make your diagnosis.

Anyway, if you've read this far, thank you for taking the time. Again, it was so hard to post my story.

fire in the sky has a rather sleepy plot that ends with what are quite possibly the absolute most terrifying 20-ish minutes ever committed to film

fourth kind has a kinda dogshit framing device and likes its jump scares too much for my tastes it but it's still a major hide-behind-the-couch kinda film

the 1989 mcpherson tape is hard to find but it predates the blair witch project and is a landmark in found footage as a genre. the final few shots are genuinely loving creepy as hell even with the low budget nature of the whole production

McPherson Tape and Incident in Lake County (a remake of the McPherson Tape) are great. Incident in Lake County was recut and aired on UPN twice when I was a kid as a true-story found footage special, predating Blair Witch by a year. They're both pretty great--McPherson Tape was just put out on bluray: https://www.amazon.com/McPherson-Tape-U-F-Abduction-Blu-ray/dp/B085R72PPP

The kid in Incident in Lake County later played the main character on Space Cases.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. I don't get why you'd test against people that haven't been read in, though. That's easy enough to do, and as we can see here, not doing it just gets your super secret spy drone plastered across the media.

well the military is very particularly choosing to allow us access to these supporting documents. like they released the ships' logs and internal emails, but not the SNOOPIE team reports:

https://twitter.com/dave_beaty/status/1376030894406959105?s=20

so it might be that something about the ufo narrative is valuable. maybe just to spook china/russia that we have secret tech (when maybe we're just spoofing our own sensors). maybe just to further cover for other secret projects. maybe to get us ready for the big reveal.

It's 100% directed by them. Corbell even said the videos of the radar screens etc are shot by crews tasked specifically to do that for information management/ public relations purposes. There's definitely no one recording screens with a mobile phone inside a warship then leaking it.

If another country is sending drones, is it as simple as humiliating the US by showing its military is vulnerable and impotent?

Bullfrog
Nov 5, 2012

I'm very skeptical of all the "psyop" angles in general. But the motive as to why the pentagon is openly discussing this and confirming vids is confusing to think about. I have a really hard time believing that if they really believed they were an adversaries' drones, they wouldnt either be much more quiet, or wouldn't have recovered something by now just by sheer brute force. I know those are both just assumptions, because it's possible the drones really are using some new tech and the US got leapfrogged.

The simplest explanation is that the US gov really does have no idea what the hell these things are, and the stigma has just faded for some reason. Or that we actually are in for a piping hot plate of Disclosure Goulash but I myself think that the gov hasn't actually got anything themselves

My pet theory is that there is no intention behind this. Nobody is in charge, there is no agenda. It's neurons flashing in our collective REM sleep. June disclosure will be enough to justify everybody's beliefs and notions while not absolutely excluding any possibility because nothing can change. It is impossible to discern whether this is a real phenomenon, because both those words are void when nobody is actually communicating. And I don't even mean psyops or bots, I mean we actually are at a point of internet communication where it's impossible to discern what is real and what is deepfake. It's much more likely that everybody involved in leaking/pushing these UFO videos are part of a lovely CIA-esque masqurade to rope in outsider mythology back to boomer memes and even more likely the CIA doesn't even realize they are doing this. I feel the only interesting element of all of this is how spun out we are with the layers and compartmentalizing and chaos of culture narrative. There is no grand conspiracy, it's just dynamical systems and laced memories.
