Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

dude is a total dork with something to prove who was alive at precisely the right moment in history, after fighter pilots had to actually fight anyone and during an era of hollywood glamorization of the job, but right before unmanned tech made them completely obsolete

and that is part of why we have as much public information as we do, because the other pilots present were professionals who aren't nearly so interested in attention whoring

Unrelated but it amuses me that someone took the time to proof your red text in MS word because they clearly copied over one of those microsoft smart quotes but didn't bother to see that the forums don't render nonstandard characters before buying it

Back to the topic
I get the vibe from Lue's latest interviews that's he really pushing the "don't call these aliens/these aren't spielberg aliens like we're told" so I'm leaning heavy into at least the ones we are seeing in these reports being some sort of highly advanced synthetic intelligence

grays, Nordics, reptilians etc. are all constructs of the synthetic aliens, the question is if they're actual physical matter (reconfigurable nanobot swarms) or just projections (either EM radiation or pure mental)

the US national security state "evangelicals" are actually fanatical members of a lesser known religion of wormism. theyre actual spineless worms!

they hate birds!

their crowning achievement is the colonization of america and the eradication of the "passenger menace" which they edited out mentions of out of the bible which is the king james bible

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

UFO encounter on Nullarbor Plain reported

ADELAIDE: A Perth family say they were terrorised by a UFO which plucked their car from the road on the Nullarbor Plain.
Police said yesterday that they were taking the report seriously after investigating damage to the car, which was covered in an ash-type substance.
A truck driver and a car driver also witnessed the bizarre event after being chased by the UFO along the Eyre Highway just inside the Western Australia border.
Mrs Faye Knowles and her three sons, Patrick, 24, Sean, 21, and Wayne, 18, were about 40km west of Mundrabilla driving toward South Australia when they first saw the glowing object about 2.45am yesterday.
They told police they had watched as it chased the truck and car, which were travelling in the opposite direction, before turning and landing on their own vehicle.
"It apparently picked the car up off the road, shook it quite violently and forced the car back down on the road with such pressure that one of the tyres was blown," a police spokesman said.
"While this was happening the family said their voices were distorted and it was as if they were talking in slow motion."
Mrs Knowles told police the UFO turned the car around and placed it back on the road facing in the opposite direction. Once they were back on the road they had
jumped out and fled into the bush where they hid for some time before going back and changing the wheel.
They drove to Ceduna in the far west of South Australia and reported the incident to local police. By chance, crime scene investigators from Port Lincoln were in Ceduna and examined the car.
"We have to take it seriously, there's no reason why we shouldn't," Sergeant Fred Longley, of Ceduna police, said. "There were too many witnesses for us not to.
"The car was damaged and was covered in ash from the object and they were clearly shaken up."
Sergeant Longley said the Knowles drew a diagram of the UFO which looked like an egg in an egg cup.
