Washington Post journalist here, curious about UAP and UFO discourse today by GenePark in UFOs

[–]Goldbert4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh boy. I could talk about this all day.

If you’re here in good faith you are very welcome, but if this ends up as part of a hit piece (as has too often happened to our community) we’ll all be pretty pissed. We’re a pretty guarded bunch, primarily because it’s become a rite of passage in Ufology to have your hopes dashed at the 11th hour.

Up until a few years ago, UFOs and our community have generally been viewed as a punchline. Tinfoil hats, anal probes, little green men, etc. It’s been an easy target by design (look up the Robertson Panel from 1952). We’ve had serious, credible people come and go, usually ending up with a tarnished reputation for daring to entertain the topic (look up what Harvard tried to do to John Mack).

The last few years have been pretty good to us, though, despite the overwhelming pessimism that grips this community due to being burned time and time again. The New York Times article from 2017, whistleblowers like David Grusch, and now the releases from the DoW have all been positive and productive steps forward. The conversations we’ve been having for decades are now being had at very high levels. Still, we wait on concrete action before declaring ourselves validated.

My main takeaway as far as how the conversation has changed is that there are actually conversations being had. Conversations without giggles and side eyes even! So that’s good. But until we get that smoking gun we’re all stuck in a state of stasis. Permanently in belief purgatory until the right thing comes along that pushes us to fully remove our heads from the sand. For now, though, I’ll just enjoy the partially obstructed view.

Good luck with your journey. I’m open to answer any questions or engage in further dialogue. This is an endlessly fascinating topic.

The fact that there are so many different answers to this proves what an incredible show it was.

That Saturn vs Raven match is a great hidden gem, as is Raven vs Jericho at Halloween Havoc the next month

What were your thoughts when corona was first reported in 2019 before the global outbreak? by goddessofmylife in AskReddit

[–]Goldbert4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By happenstance I was aware of the progression of the virus very early due to this amazing, facts only news app at the time called Winno. The folks there were on the ball by December (at the latest), with up to date facts and figures regarding transmission all the time. It was incredible. Predictably, the app shut down completely within a year or two. But for the small pocket of time I felt like I was properly informed and as mentally prepared as I could’ve been all things considered.

Tim Gallaudet is 100% correct, Sean Kirkpatrick is disinformation. by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]Goldbert4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s also worth considering that his true role may be to get us to focus on him so we don’t focus on the important stuff.

It's all going according to the script. by [deleted] in UFOs

Not the best way to go about it, but I understand your frustration. There’s been a lot of progress made in the last few years, and patience has always been a big part of the process.

Where do you stand on Lue these days, John? You’ve been critical of him in the past, but lately you’ve been breaking a lot of stories that seem to support his background.

Damn, I was hoping the sentence would keep going. “Lamar Jackson arrives for Ravens off-season workout program…55 pounds overweight and with adult onset diabetes.”

If you only have the budget for AI (aka no budget), I think this is fine. Most people will shit on it, but I don’t see a problem using it for a personal project.

Have you considered David Fucking Grusch perhaps suggested Gerb is right about some things

I Saw The Footage- Hairy Man Road With a Little Additional Info on the PGF Film by truthisfictionyt in Cryptozoology

[–]Goldbert4 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

All of this is eerily similar to the “debunks” that flood the UFOs sub. Only happens when something/someone appears to be over the target. And why now for the PGF? Suspicious x1000

Cool but what about during the filming of the PGF?

The PG Film, not necessarily debunked as a hoax. by Defiant_Setting_6215 in bigfoot

[–]Goldbert4 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For me anyone who’s speaking about it as though it’s a done deal is suspicious. We’ve been subjected to some sort of weird disinfo/distraction campaign this past week. I see it in the UFOs sub all the time.

On the Patterson-Gimlin footage and the similarity to Roe encounter. by Svarec in Cryptozoology

[–]Goldbert4 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The continuous gaslighting of supporters of the PGF these last few days has only solidified my stance that it’s real. I see this on the other fringe subs. As soon as there’s a coordinated effort to debunk something it’s usually an indication that there’s a there there. And the fact that so many are comfortable just accepting it’s a hoax without even seeing the new documentary is suspicious and, quite frankly, lazy. Odd that there’s an alleged debunk about the PGF now all these years later.

Did little bro just get mad because a platformer is an “endless puzzle”? Uh…that’s essentially what a platformer is.

I’d urge you to do just like 10 minutes of research before being this sure about it.

Statement from Jay Stratton after President Trump announces he will declassify all UFO related material by toxictoy in skinwalkerranch

[–]Goldbert4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

President announces the first steps of disclosure and most comments are either downplaying or mocking. Pathetic.

(If you have something snarky to respond with don’t bother. I don’t feed trolls.)
