Good Soldier Svejk posted:aren't there groups out there with like explicit UFO stories about meeting aliens and prophecies about them returning and all that? be real careful with this one most of the claims ive seen of this are, at best, taking the folklore of nonwhite people out of context and smashing it through a lily-white lens. understood in context, they don't appear any more explicitly UFO than many Bible stories that occasionally get trotted out as being hidden UFO stories like Ezekiel and the Wheel or just angels in general. just like how most christians won't tell you that those are UFOs or aliens, the people whose folklore is often cited as being UFOs and aliens will not either the real problem though is that those same stories are often twisted to fit in with explicitly racist ancient aliens theories, aka "those cultures did things white people couldn't, but they're not white, so it must be aliens!" im skeptical that if any of those stories do have their start in an authentic UFO sighting that we can extract any information about it anymore than we can take the culture of ancient Greece and extract reliable information about the historical Hercules

Rah! posted:alien teens pranking the humans with their cloaking devices lol For some time now I've thought about this sort of thing and concluded that we have to take this sort of absurd scenario seriously. It honestly sounds like the setup to a far side cartoon or something but we already have abundant examples of pointless weird fuckery just here on Earth. Consider when the Sentinelese killed John Allen Chau. This guy believed he was on a mission from Jesus, a dead prophet from the middle east thousands of years ago. The tribe barely has contact with outsiders in their living memory. The technology involved, the response from authorities, etc. Or consider the perspective of an animal being studied in the wild. Or how could an ant colony hope to understand that the destruction of its home is to make way for the building of a new wal-mart, which is the result of a decision made on the basis of human global economics, etc. Or how could e.g. the mammalian rodents that survived the extinction of the dinosaurs hope to understand that some day they will be responsible for the internet. None of this makes sense. If interplanetary travel is possible at all, you have to allow that visitors could have any motivations at all, including a great many possible scenarios that are simply beyond our understanding. We literally could be seeing aliens visiting earth as part of a school field trip, and I meant that literally and scientifically as a possibility. It's not all gonna be enlightened space brethren making formal contact with the governments of earth or some corny bullshit like that. It's (potentially) gonna be drunk hicks riding their four-wheeler all over our moon or religious zealots or .....?

Unless Fravor described a glowing ball of plasma, which he didn't. It's also premature to describe the Hessdalen lights as a radar-generated plasma, since we do not have any such understanding of the phenomenon, any more than "ball lightning." This is ignotum per ignotius, the unknown explained by reference to the unknown.

Rah! posted:You're talking about Bigelow, right? Bigelow has an aerospace company that already has a contract with NASA to provide inflatable space station modules. One of them is up there right now (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigelow_Expandable_Activity_Module). So he already has a pipeline to the sweet government contracts and lots of money, that has nothing to do with UFOs. Why potentially gently caress that up with fake UFO garbage that makes half the people in the government think you're crazy? Not saying its impossible, it just doesn't seem to make much sense.

Azathoth posted:be real careful with this one The Anishinaabe have sort of a "alien" story: "According to the oral history, seven great miigis (radiant/iridescent beings in human form) appeared to the Anishinaabe peoples in the Waabanakiing (Land of the Dawn, i.e., Eastern Land) to teach the people about the midewiwin life-style. One great miigis was too spiritually powerful and would kill people in the Waabanakiing whenever they were in its presence. This being later returned to the depths of the ocean, leaving the six great miigis to teach the people." Also Bigfoot(Kitchi-Sabe) is a scared animal to the Ojibwe, meaning truth, honesty & integrity and is part of the Seven Grandfathers Teachings. Of course the "aliens" of these stories are beings that are from the spirit world or have been existing along side humans in their own way rather than space travelers visiting for brief moments.

https://religiondispatches.org/with...ss-testimonies/Diana Palsulka posted:Scholars of religion are among those who understand the importance of witness testimonies in the formation of religions. Raelism and The Nation of Islam, for example, were formed from the UFO/UAP testimonies of their founders. A cursory review of UAP literature, both primary sources by witnesses, as well as secondary literature by academics, reveals overt religious and often apocalyptic themes in UAP witness reports. Extraterrestrials are believed to be technologically advanced and are often thought to be supportive of humans’ best interests. https://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/diana-pasulka-alleges-google-military-conspiracy-to-discredit-ufo-witnesses Jason Colovito posted:The first major problem with Pasulka’s analysis is her facile equation of military pilot “testimony” with the kind of religious testifying you’d see at a tent revival or from the Apostles preaching that they had witnessed the risen Christ. Pasulka goes too far in suggesting that a pilot claiming to see something he or she could not explain is proof of alien life. It is not clear whether she is speaking for herself or for UFO believers when alleging that accounts from pilots function as proof, but either way, they don’t.

The one example of intelligent life that we know of, is us, and we do dumb loving idiot poo poo all the time, and do things simply because it's fun, or because we could, or because it makes someone mad, and we do things that to us are mundane every day poo poo, but to another animal, would make zero sense and would be interpreted incorrectly. And the evolution of our societies and our interactions with the world around us was not orchestrated (i don't think?? lol  ). poo poo just happens. It's not like the high human council said OK today we make contact with the whales. So why wouldn't it be similar for hypothetical aliens? Zorglax just turned aitee aitee and is having a mid life crisis and wants to see whats on the weird rock. And Zilbo just got drunk on space moonshine and blacked out and crashed into some desert town and freaked all the apes out lmao. And Zibloap? He was just using a 5th dimensional rake to uhhhh looks like a bird to me

The Saucer Hovers posted:https://religiondispatches.org/with...ss-testimonies/ quote:Pasulka falsely alleges that there is a “sudden” change in military UFO reports and that government policy has, since 1953, been to “debunk” witness testimony. That isn’t true. While it is true that Air Force tried to discredit alien narratives for a variety of reasons, they did not try to show that witnesses were wrong in describing what they saw. Instead, they tried to show that witnesses were wrong in how they interpreted what they saw. This is not the same thing. (Of course, the Air Force sometimes falsified their analysis to hide things like secret military testing.) lol this guy needs to look at the australian report

GWBBQ posted:nothing that's been released to the public shows anything other than point sources of light, and that includes the "tic tac" videos this is extremely loving wrong lmao The US and Chinese governments have said UFOs are real, and that they are currently studying them, and dozens of other nations keep doing studies on UFOs as well. Credible people with much to lose by accusations of nuttery, keep claiming that they've seen them, all around the world. The US also claims to have tons of sensor data to go along with the eyewitness accounts. That means eyewitnesses, cameras, and radars all seeing the same thing. Not one of those nations has ever said anything like this in regards to bigfoot. curious UFOs are clearly the same as bigfoot

Stephen King wrote a book (Under the Dome) where the whole plot (small town is inexplicably trapped under a force field) happens because of some lovely alien kids. I'd totally believe that aliens just like to gently caress with the weird monkey creatures
