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.

It would be like turning up to class when your semester-long assignment is due, having done literally nothing, and immediately doing a sick 360 kickflip that impresses the professor so much he gives you a degree right there and then.

It seems Disney made an alien documentary meant to promote a ride called ExtraTERRORestrial. Problem is, the documentary is loving terrifying and weird. There's an abductee heavily implying that she was raped by aliens. The production style is 90's tabloid TV and doesn't feel like a Disney show at all. Allegedly it was only shown once in a handful of small markets and was then pulled. I can't find anything substantiating the history of this video beyond social media comments but the intro with Michael Eisner seems to match up and it's narrated by Robert Urich so I guess it's real. So bizarre.
The video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFIP4Y0SwLw
The IDMB entry:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235174/

Also Defunctland has an excellent video on the actual ride itself, which has an unrelated fictional setting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGbF_lPWmEI

This ended up leading me down a larger rabbit hole of Disney/UFO connections, like a conspiracy theory that Walt was personally chosen to help a disclosure process that was postponed. There are people who say that Disney and other media companies are still acclimatizing people but they were just given a longer timeline. Modern features have increasingly covered exotic sci-fi topics like parallel realities, time travel, interstellar war, false memories, hive minds, god-like aliens, etc. Average pop culture consumers are now very fluent in these concepts(even used in elaborate combinations).

Nazi rocket scientist Wernher Von Braun is of course the subject of many UFO conspiracies too. He was folded into the US Army and later NASA via Project Paperclip. He was intimately involved with Disney as a technical consultant and even appeared in their feature "Man in Space". Disney has often consulted with the Department of Defense too, sometimes giving them the ability to rewrite or reject scripts in exchange for military equipment usage and a favorable portrayal(a common arrangement in Hollywood). I think that's just conventional propagandizing but it's worth noting.

Anyway I can see why they stopped showing that documetary immediately. Like how the hell did that get approved in the first place? "Hey Mickey fans, did you know aliens molest people and microscopic lifeforms might be alien probes?"

Loeb is the real deal. As legit as they come in science circles. The Galileo project is exactly what the science of birds has always needed and honestly it's probably our best shot at figuring this poo poo out short of disclosure. Extremely cool and good.

"Randolph Carter", IT seemed to say, "MY manifestations on your planet's extension, the Ancient Ones, have sent you as one who would lately have returned to small lands of dream which he had lost, yet who with greater freedom has risen to greater and nobler desires and curiosities. You wished to sail up golden Oukranos, to search out forgotten ivory cities in orchid-heavy Kled, and to reign on the opal throne of Ilek-Vad, whose fabulous towers and numberless domes rise mighty toward a single red star in a firmament alien to your earth and to all matter. Now, with the passing of two Gates, you wish loftier things. You would not flee like a child from a scene disliked to a dream beloved, but would plunge like a man into that last and inmost of secrets which lies behind all scenes and dreams. What you wish, I have found good; and I am ready to grant that which I have granted eleven times only to beings of your planet - five times only to those you call men, or those resembling them. I am ready to shew you the Ultimate Mystery, to look on which is to blast a feeble spirit. Yet before you gaze full at that last and first of secrets you may still wield a free choice, and return if you will through the two Gates with the Veil still unrent before your eyes.

theres maybe nothing to be disclosed, except for better data and vids.

put yourself into a mil-spook mindset. be those people. its all about control which mean knowing and controlling anything and everything you can.

this is all fine and good in a regular war and the jostling between nations...but there are these irrefutable birds in the sky and under the water that none of your toys work on

youd cover it up cos it makes no fuckin sense at all and all your black project tools just raise more questions about these birds and youre all about control and you even cant name let alone influence these birds at all.

human nature tells me its less a conspiracy and hidden slick rear end gear and more people whose entire being revolves around control running up against something they cant
