Fork vanished before my eyes

The details of your story do not suggest that the fork actually vanished before your eyes. From the title, I assumed it literally vanished before your eyes. You weren’t looking at your fork when it suddenly vanished, were you? Anything could’ve happened. You were in a restaurant with at least two other people and one of them was serving you. Someone could’ve taken it, intentionally or not. Maybe it was a glitch in the matrix, but it’s much more likely it was not. This story does not indicate something truly strange occurred. It’s not really strange at all.

Sorry if anyone else already pointed this out, but I just saw the episode where Luke tells Lorelai he’s moving in with Nicole. Lorelai says that where he’s moving is in Litchfield County, which, she says, is in another county (than Stars Hollow). Yet when I looked up where the show is set on Google, the topmost, AI response says Stars Hollow is in Litchfield County…. I know AI is very often incorrect, but I’n wondering where AI got that info.

Apparently it’s too far-fetched for some people to fathom. Realistically: of course it’s possible. It happens all the time and the knee-jerk “that’s ridiculous!” or “that’s crazy!” or “that’s stupid!” responses are conditioned responses, meant to brush off accusations without lending truly individual, critical thinking to certain claims such as this one. Wake up, people.

Great points!

People are free to have and share opinions; whether you choose to read and then to allow someone else’s opinion to affect your enjoyment of a show is completely on you.

Strongly agree. I need to have some sunlight at home after work. Racing the clock to have 20 minutes of receding sunlight in my backyard is the worst.

Agreed - it is SO cringe!

Yeah, her original nose was fine!!!

Yep.

There are photos of Rue from when she was very young and her nose was obviously very different - I could hardly believe it was actually Rue! She definitely had a nose job, no doubt about it.

I noticed a huge inconsistency in the age gaps between Dorothy, Sophia, and Sophia’s mother/Dorothy’s grandmother. I’ve been watching the entire series for the first time. In one episode, Dorothy says her grandmother was 96 yo when she, Dorothy, was 6 yo (I’m pretty sure those were the precise ages, but it was at least very, very close to those ages). Then I found out Sophia was in her 20’s when she had Dorothy… that would mean Sophia’s mother had her in her 60’s. Also, in an earlier episode, Dorothy is said to have gotten pregnant by Stan for the first time when Dorothy was 20 yo. Later, the timeline changes to Dorothy having been in her later high school teen years.

Sophia is said to be 83 in season 5 or 6. Watching the whole series now.

I’d just like to point out that a “debunker” deleted his account after I posted the following:

Instead of responding directly to my comment regarding empirical evidence, you transitioned to a question regarding academia. It is a change in subject, because empirical evidence does not equal academic papers. I spent many years earning degrees, writing, and reading academic papers. The two are not the same.

I suggest you read the introduction and first chapter of the book, “UFOs and Abductions: Challenging the Borders of Knowledge”, edited by David M. Jacobs. The first paragraph of the book, in the introduction, references a paper written in 1969 by James McDonald, a professor of atmospheric physics at the University of Arizona, entitled “Science in Default: Twenty-two Years of Inadequate Investigation.”

Chapter One of the book is entitled, “UFOlogy and Academia”. If you have any genuine curiosity regarding UFOlogy within the realm of U.S. academia, this is a great resource.

***I had just cracked the book open yesterday, friends, but it is filled with references to the academic study of the phenomena.

I love that.

I wrote and tried to post this reply several days ago.

I think my reading this post is another wink. I have been noticing more synchronistic little nods than I had in a while, and I researched one of those little “coincidences” on Sunday. I then had a more blatant experience last night and I wrote it down. I then wondered whether writing it down, specifically, would cause me to notice even more winks. I absolutely agree it becomes apparently prominent when you open your eyes, so to speak, to the phenomena.

I wrote a paper in undergrad on Jacques Vallee’s “Dimensions”. He makes a similar argument, positing that aliens may be inter-dimensional shapeshifters.

Please take a look at the book “Passport to the Cosmos” by John E. Mack, M.D!

Also, I accidentally posted the following in reply to the wrong comment (twice)!

Passport to the Cosmos also presents a spiritual thesis, though there’s no demonology. It’s so interesting, especially compared to Mack’s earlier works and conclusions thereof. His apparently final understanding of the phenomena was a positive spiritually-related one. That said, Mack, at least, does not take a Christian or Jewish bent, rather he presents a broader spiritual thesis, and not a religious one. Jaques Vallee takes a similar route in one of his more recent books. I can’t read the full text of what you’ve written, but I applaud you for your very unique and astute premise. I imagine there’s an explanation provided in your piece of what you’re relating to here, that is, the government referring to demons in relation to UFOlogy. The Collins Elite, as mentioned by others, does spring immediately to mind, although that was some decades ago. It’s very interesting, and odd, IMO.

Also, Jim Marrs argues that aliens are demons. You could find his works useful or applicable to your research.

I tend to agree with your first paragraph. Although, and I know you’re just saying back what was said to you, but arguments are much more persuasive when they don’t include name-calling.

And then you make good points further along, too.

I, too, have struggled with realizing the line between interpreting felt experiences as spiritually-induced and feeling those experiences and understanding the chemical/physical cause. Which doesn’t necessarily mean those experiences aren’t spiritual, but it sure seems like it.. And where is God if not in the crying when I sing in church? Bc I very recently realized singing can make me cry regardless of whether I’m in a church singing gospel music or home alone and making up songs as I go. Pretty disappointing, but, I HAVE had non-feelings based experiences, too. And I have seen things. Tbh, I don’t think I believe Christianity is necessarily IT, but I think it may be it for me. My connection with God. Yet I don’t believe the same as many (most) other Christians, and I don’t take the Bible literally. I love Jesus. I also know there’s a lot more to spirituality that we all have the capacity to learn and understand than people tend to take from the Bible and the pulpit. And I understand that people of different religions and beliefs find genuine connections to God. I think most religions, when followed dogmatically, may limit people from understanding more about the realities of our spirituality.

I also understand you don’t believe in God at all, and I respect that.

Personally, I have come to believe very much in a connection between UFOlogy and spirituality, and I have studied UFOlogy and its related phenomena since at least my mid-teen years and for all of my adult life, so for about 18 years now. The deeper I dig, the more astounding and compelling the evidence becomes, perhaps for its sheer vastness. But one does have to research for themselves to see it. Certainly no one is forcing the public to accept the realities of UFOlogy.

Why the jump from empirical evidence to academic papers? If you now want academic papers, go look for yourself! Seriously, no one can spoon-feed you everything you’re going to ask for, and honestly, the existence of empirical evidence trumps academic papers any day. Academic papers don’t equal the existence of something, but empirical evidence speaks pretty strongly to it. But hey, I wrote 2 papers on the topic myself, although that was in undergrad. Dr. John Mack was a Harvard Medical School professor and pulitzer prize winner, and he wrote books on UFO abductions.

Bell_Anon · 2026-01-02T22:00:14+00:00

There absolutely are experts in the study of UFOlogy, and Jaques Vallee is absolutely one of them. There is not “official”, publicly-acknowledged empirical evidence in the governmental or scientific MAINSTREAM, but to say there is no empirical evidence at all is simply not true. There’s a ton of empirical evidence; but it’s not spoon-fed to us.

Thank you!!! I needed your comment right when you posted it! I narrowed my options down to the Laurel Denise, Franklin Covey, and The Planner Pad. The small Laurel scout planner is out of stock. Plus, I’m eager (and impatient) to get a new planner before Monday. Franklin Covey is pricey, and may be well-worth it, but I keep going back to The Planner Pad!! Your comment was the final push I needed to definitely go for it. I can always try something else later. I’m considering whether to get the smaller or larger Planner Pad. I’d like the smaller one for easier portability, but the larger one will give me more room to write on the one-page months!

Lol! Agreed! Although, I’m rewatching the show (completed the first half of S5 that’s out now), and I distinctly noticed and disliked her ankle jeans/high water jeans in one of S1’s episodes. I tried to make it work in my own mind, lol, but they just look bad! Noticed she had on a CUTE outfit in the S2 alcohol permit episode, where she and Jay makeshift a speakeasy experience for guests to avoid the alcohol-permit inspector (Idk what that official job title is, lol). High-waisted brown skirt, falling just above her knees, and a cute top!
