the Omega Goose is loose

but for real that's a great story told well, motionless flying birds is a new creepiness i didn't know i had to be worried about!

Keel wrote about it lot, and so have others, but a persistent feature of UFO sightings is witnesses seeing something overtly terrestrial in a situation where that just doesn't make sense.

One of the classic examples Keel gives is seeing a UFO enter a small cloud bank and then seeing a regular aircraft emerge a second or two later where the UFO should have been. And not in a "oh, I was just seeing it from a bad angle" kind of way, definitely in a "my brain is interpreting what I'm seeing as this thing I know, but that's not what it is" kind of way.

And thank you, The Saucer Hovers, for sharing your experience

So, if you just imagine the human cognition to be surprisingly wind vane-like, and that our memory's indexing/recall function could charitably be described as "a vapid bimbo". You'll understand that aliens are here because humanity is basically the perfect side piece.

This is getting a toooon of coverage surprisingly.
Could just be coincidence but if I am to believe that the US government/world leadership has been hiding evidence of alien life for 70 years I see no reason to assume sudden disclosure is not similarly coordinated

It's sort of fascinating that this media blitz appears a) bipartisan and b) more competently executed than anything I've seen since... the iraq war, maybe? Maybe even that.

Come to think of it, the sheer competence on display might be the best argument that something not of this earth is involved.

pretty sure this is the executive branch calling in every goddamn favor they can to soften the blow

they've got, ostensibly, weeks to change the narrative from "there are no aliens and you are literally an insane communist if you think there are" to "well we always said it was possible there were aliens and now look at this, looks like aliens, aw shucks how about that we are just as surprised as you are someone ought to look into this"

delonge claims they are the angels of old, and they were more manipulative in the past (and kind of hints to them being manipulative now). if you move the needle from ~15% real to >~45% real on his rogan episode, it's quite unsettling.

yeah i can't get fully on board with the whole media blitz being coordinated gaslighting just to... what, run a 'firehouse' campaign to keep people addled, distracted and subdued?

there's so much bread and circuses to go around already, why bother fabricating all of this when there's plenty of other, lower-hanging bullshit they could lead people around the nose with

why constantly buzz your own fighter pilots with your super fancy sci fi drones when you could achieve all your skunkworks r&d goals at an actual controlled test site and not show your whole entire rear end all the time

delonge was basically claiming (amongst other crazy zaniness) the answer to a hypothetical rhetorical question like "why does the government take the position of suffering instead of what's right?" is "to feed the monsters from the other dimension with your pain and misery." I think that is, uhghm, not great. not good at all in fact.

I'd encourage caution with attributing alien origins to religion, as that is the bread and butter of the Ancient Aliens crowd, who love to take superficial readings of the religious stories of nonwhite peoples and attribute it to aliens. Not saying you are doing this just be aware of that line when treading in the space where religion and aliens begin to intersect.

With that in mind, there are very few biblical stories where a UFO/alien interpretation makes any sense, even on a surface level, with Ezekiel and his wheel probably being the most famous. But even those have much better readings within existing historical and cultural frameworks.

Just like Ancient Aliens, it only really works if you're not prepared to engage with the text in a critical fashion and aren't willing to examine it within the cultural context in which it was written.

That said, I do think it is interesting that a near-universal feature of religions worldwide is the physical reality of sapient nonhumans, and how they often end up a part of religions as a result of pre-existing folk belief (demons in Christianity, the Jinn in Islam, as examples).

They aren't a critical piece of the religion's overall theology, but they end up being included in various places clearly due to a ubiquitous belief from the peoples being converted, so a concept from outside l the religion gets brought inside it, and how that ends up being these nonhuman entities is something that probably does bear exploration.

The more I see of these media appearances, the more I'm convinced that they're really convinced they have something but don't know what it is. I doubt we'll be getting disclosure of "Aliens are here and say hi: but they do seem to be convinced that these are craft of some type.

I'm still betting on von Neuman probes.

Certainly anxiety inducing but it does require disregarding basically every other abduction/encounter claim (zimbabwe being a big one) so I don't know where to file that one in my head
