how do people have such specific ideas about what an alien is or what interaction with them would be like

it�s like a religion

they are basically the same as the dumb poo poo jesus freaks who get elected into public office except with less charisma.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure 22C / 49% humidity is not the appropriate environment for preserving 1000 year old mummies.

people seeing weird zips of light in the sky and on camera and the government releases cockpit footage saying �we don�t know what this is, yes we have this video of an odd phenomena, we are keeping an eye out.�

a guy investigates and gets blocked and testifies �yeah they won�t tell me what�s going on, let me now allude to some weird stuff that I am not saying is what�s going on but other people told me might be going on but I�m not saying that myself�

people then invent whole cloth a belief system

Grusch just wanted a way to set himself up for life doing no work, and making winky "I can neither confirm nor deny that information" type statements on the UFO circuit for the next thirty years is gonna be super lucrative for him.

It's amazing how they realised how pathetically fake their alien looked and their big idea to hide it was to just loving toss handfulls of sand over it.

I won nearly that exact model in grade 5 when I won a weather broadcasting contest through our local news station that our school made us apply to. This was in 2000.

It had a little wire you could dangle out the window to get the external temperature at the same time as the internal temperature.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

There's an excellent book called "Round In Circles" by Jim Schnabel which goes into the history of the crop circles phenomenon and the scientists who spent years and years studying it. They broke into two main camps: scientists who were absolutely adamant that the crop circles were a natural phenomenon caused by localized tornadoes and scientists who were absolutely adamant that they were being caused by alien visitors. They feuded for years and years over their pet theories, writing up papers and published regular "cerealogy' journals and holding seminars and flying in guest lecturers from overseas and doing media interviews and rushing around documenting new crop circles whenever they appeared and holding weeklong "field trips" where they monitored fields and tried to collect footage of crop circles being created.
Spoiler: the entire 'phenomenon' was just a hoax, and always had been. The author of the book should know, he was one of the main offenders and had created dozens and dozens of crop circles over the years which the scientists swore couldn't possibly have been made by humans.

Bigfootology is also broken into similar opposing camps, with one group of 'researchers' being absolutely adamant that bigfoot is a mundane flesh & blood creature which is just really good at hiding, and the other group which is absolutely adamant that bigfoots are dimension-traveling creatures which communicate via telepathy. Each camp holds their own annual conventions and is convinced that the other guys are nuts who have missed the entire point.

I keep comparing UFOlogy to bigfootery because both fields work exactly the same way and have people forming similar theories based off pretty much the same type of evidence and jumping to similar conspiracy theories to explain why "the real evidence" has been withheld from the public. Many Bigfootologists believe that the forestry department has been systematically hiding evidence of bigfoot for decades and the Smithsonian has been collecting giant skeletons and hiding them away because they'd disprove current scientific theories on evolution n' poo poo. They're also usually pretty darn sure they know what will happen when they inevitably interact with the thingie and they're sure it'll happen real soon.

There's also always a fringe element who believe they're already in regular communication with the thingies: there's a whole lot of people who believe that bigfoots talk to them telepathically, a whole lot of spiritualists who believe that specific dead people talk to them, and UFO dudes who believe that aliens are talking to them telepathically or that they have special UFO summoning skills:

Sadly, it sounds like untreated mental illness. :smith:

Oh definitely. A whole lot of it is also encouraged by locals feeding stories to gullible explorers/tourists for tips. "Yetis? Oh I'm not really supposed to talk about it to outsiders but .... yeah I heard lots of stories. If we go out into the hills I bet I can even find a footprint for you, you wanna hire me as a guide?"

The guys who were pulling all the crop circles hoaxes were going to the regular Crop Circle Explorers meetings at the local pub and quietly hanging out with the true believers and sometimes even going on their "field expeditions" with them

See, I used to agree that crop circles were man-made until Mauss�n (same dude who is showing off the jerky mummies) showed this video on his TV show:

Now that I've debunked that silly idea that crop circles are not alien in origin let's all 'refuel' our energies with some tasty supplements courtesy of mr Mauss�n:
