alien invasion movies, 1990: “oh no they’re coming to eradicate all human life!!! it’s unrealistic to portrait another civilization as one note and evil like that. also why would they care about the humans so much?”

alien invasion movies, 2021: “oh yeah coming to eradicate all human life? makes sense. would protect the planet. just remove the virus from earth. “

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.

to anyone hype for July 18,

text copied from this reddit post:


In July of 2020, someone made a post claiming their NASA friend told them aliens would arrive within the next year. This post was made months before TAA’s story was rediscovered, so it’s interesting that the time frame matches. The original post has since been deleted, but you can still find it here https://www.removeddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/hxinof/all_recent_news_on_ufos_is_part_of_a_plan/

Text from the original post:

The goverment is using media to get the masses relaxed with the idea of UFOs. So the majority of the public wont flip out. They wont be here with malicious purposes so no need to panic any way. They allegedly are going to help us make some kind of civilizational leap foward and get our planet cleaned up. I wish I could tell you how I know this but Im not even sure what Im saying is safe to say as silly as it sounds. Get ready, by this time next year shits gonna be crazy.

OP also left a more detailed comment:

One more post , was legitimately given information from a person I trust 100%. Works for NASA on nanotechnology and a few other projects. He was very vauge and wouldn't give to many specifics. Thing is, at least how he made it sound, they've been in contact with them for a long time. How long exactly I have no idea. They've been studying us much like we study tribes in the Amazon. They see us as a species worth saving/fixing given the right guidance. Apparently we have that need or desire to explore and learn but are pretty misguided and violent towards each other. But it seems part of their help will be for our own mental and physical health. I dont wanna say a whole lot more but it really sounds like some crazy type of renaissance lol! This person has no reason to lie to me nor do I see him being the type to make up poo poo about his work that he takes so seriously. But after a few drinks people open up and spill it. It was enough he called me and asked me to keep it quite....but who the hell cant share that? At least here I feel safe that most people will just think Im crazy or lying. But we'll all find out together withen the next year, possibly year and a half."

then, another user messaged the original poster, and received a response. their comment follows:

"I reached out to the OP, I’ll see if he has talked to his friend again or if he has more details

Update:

So, he responded to me. He stands by his original post. I feel like if it was a LARP then he would just admit it instead of doubling down. Especially since the post is 10 months old and didn’t get that many upvotes in the first place. I didn’t even mention throawaylien until after he responded. I gave him a link to this sub so maybe he’ll come here and make a post.

This is what he said to me:

“”

Well, technically they're already here. But its definitely a possibility that they will make themselves seen to all. I spoke to him briefly a few weeks ago after reaching out on Facebook. From what I understand there's a group of them, several races I believe that formed some sort of alliance a very long time ago and they honestly just want to help us. He said they know we have potential to be great but will destroy ourselves before doing so. They are apparently tired of earths earth's governments dragging their feet and aggravating with them for bargaining for technology. Which they know they will weaponize. Seems the aluens want to make contact in some big spectacle so millions of people will see and know they're here to help. Not sure what that plan is but thats the extent of what I know. It was supposed to be before next year but i guess may change. But be ready when it does happen. Gonna be a hell of a ride.

Look, i know i sound batshit crazy. But this guy is not really capable of lying. Hes kind of a physics savant. Something like that. He most definitely works for nasa. His work in nano tech is terrifyingly amazing and he has worked on a lot of their new propulsion ideas/prototypes. So i believe him 100%. But i still feel like a nut job talking about it. Im sorry

“”

I got righteously high last night and developed an intricate scenario of building the public's readiness for contact and increasing our monkey brain's capacity for empathy through targeted personal alien trainers in the form of other people we know that are constantly working to improve our better selves plus creative programming, especially sci fi. Through this we have struggled over the years to get here, where murder isn't a leading form of death (for most demographics). Could possibly make for a good short story, kind of Close Encounters meets They Live

these stories feel like raccoons that have been collected, tested, tagged, and put back in the wild trying to explain to other raccoons what the gently caress just happened to them. ive always thought the walton tale made a lot of sense that way. they hit him with their fancy new sport model and felt bad so they took him to the wildlife vet bacta tank.

hanger on? fellow abductee? tune in on the aitee and find out!!

ive always interpreted waltons abduction, assuming that what he relates happened in physical reality, as the alien equivalent of an endangered animal getting hit by a car

he ran up to the craft like a dumbass and it drat near killed him, so they had to haul him off to the vet. the vet patched him up and, after he tried to bite the poo poo out of them, they dropped him off as close as they could to some other humans

Pulling that thread a bit, if they're all about stopping the impending extinction event, why are they only intervening now? Seems like they don't care about those until an organism gains sentience.

If what the reddit guy with the nasa friend posted is true, then yeah they've been watching the earth for thousands of years or more I would think and finally figured that a) we have the capacity to grow as a species and b) we are gonna destroy ourselves if we don't, and decided that we are worth saving. That would be nice.

if you start mashing up stories, they have been around and mostly just watching out of idle curiosity (TAA's pyramid builder's video) until recently. Seems like they tried to get involved at the dawning of the atomic age and were told to gently caress off for a while?

aliens come to earth, spend thousands of years watching humanity suffer and grow until finally we master one of the primal forces of nature and split the atom, at which point the aliens make contact, but a handful of government assholes say gently caress off and the aliens respect the authority and allow billions of people to live and die in ignorance of their true place in the cosmos
