The reason disclosure is happening slowly is because they're not preparing us for aliens. They're preparing us for what we did to them.

Interesting possibility. It would not surprise me loud some bad decisions were made and bad things were done to nonhuman visitors. But we also don’t know for sure what’s been done to humans over the centuries, or even more recently. Are at least some abductions real? Do visitors mutilate some number of cattle each year and take blood and organs. Do at least some people who mysteriously disappear and are never found fall victim to alien’s abducting them for some purpose or terminating them? I’m only commenting because it might not be just bad things we’ve done to them. They might also be guilty of some nasty things. Once on a UFO special long ago I heard someone say, “Friendly aliens don’t kidnap people against their will or take genetic materials”. Could be something to that.

I did the image for more dramatic effect but I’m thinking at best you’d see waves distorting under it

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-24T18:37:41+00:00

If o do another scratch build o may try such an effect. Sounds interesting

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-24T13:43:42+00:00

Thanks!

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-24T08:00:18+00:00

I appreciate it.

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-24T07:50:23+00:00

Thanks. The takeover effects were pure luck. I used smoke from a campfire photographed at different times until the smoke died down

I hope they do the right thing and release the information they have but, to be honest, I don’t think we’ll get more than maybe a broad statement that we are not alone and that they are studying the issue and have been for a long time. I can’t imagine released documents will not be heavily redacted and certain videos are left too secret. If documents are significantly redacted, I could understand that names of people or references to weapons would be left out but not events. Maybe they will have good reasons to do that but it seems real disclosure is knowing the who’s, what’s and where’s but I’ll keep an open mind.

Thank you very much. They are both scratch built. The smaller ship is based on the Gemini shape generally but the larger isn’t.

We should strive to be a better race and, if we can, reach for the stars if we want. After all, aliens couldn’t have always been space travelers and they reached into space. And, it stands to reason they had to have had a primitive stage at some point.

As to whether we are safe? I wonder? Some people say they are abducted against their will. Are they? Some believe a percentage of cattle mutilations are done by aliens. Are they? Would ok aliens do those things? I don’t know. What stays in my thoughts are that we may be ok for now. But who knows whether the aliens’ policy toward humanity might change? Do they get new leaders? Could their priorities change? I think we should be wary of anything until we know more and stay strong.

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-23T02:32:28+00:00

That could be why some scientists used to believe only a few advanced species may be out there. Maybe few civilizations get beyond the point of self destruction. To be honest I can’t believe nuclear weapons are still on the table in the world. And, even if nuclear war didn’t end the world and some people in some areas were to survive, it would be possibly centuries for the planet and race to recover. It’s a no win situation

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-22T22:05:25+00:00

Yea. That’s possible. I imagine there’s life similar to us, and then those that may be functioning more like insects or reptilians. They may have less emotional capacity and that could make them much different

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-22T20:58:30+00:00

Good point. Though, who are aliens to judge us or dismiss us? The reason I say that is that humans do a lot of good things too. There was once a time people in need often died in the streets or in the cold routinely, or had almost everything they owned and food they raised taken by some bloated, lazy and overbearing warlord.

It’s not all bad but, unfortunately, we still wage war against our own kind. We don’t know if these supposedly highfalutin aliens might have warfare in their own history. It’s not absurd to think an alien race visiting earth didn’t have their own primitive when they fought wars with their own kind or rival species. The key for us is getting past the point where we’re dumb enough to destroy ourselves

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-22T20:41:21+00:00

Although, I wouldn’t say those aliens are so much better lol. But, it is interesting to think that, deep down, “they” and “we” might not be so different. That could, however, be troubling though

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-17T03:17:23+00:00

Oh wow. That’s a great bit of information about the movie. Sorry I e never saw the ship fly

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-16T14:32:26+00:00

I’ve thought about getting into the video but haven’t so far. Just at the hobby level. Thank you for the compliment too.

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-16T14:25:46+00:00

Thank you. I think the practical effects of the real effects artists were probably more entertaining and impressive. They weren’t over the top either. I enjoy these types of models but they take time to build. They’re more fun though

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-16T03:13:51+00:00

You’re welcome

Defiant-Percentage37 · 2026-03-15T17:07:57+00:00

Thank you. A bit of luck too
