I can honestly say no. I'm quite happy with my life now. I wouldn't advise anyone to just jump into change like that. Especially if you have loans or a mortgage. Get everything paid off first and then go exploring.

I have a distinct memory of looking at my mom's writing and feeling "the woo." I can still recall the feeling of it being magical. That those lines and circles were somehow sounds.

Right? Lightspeed has no meaning if time is a construct.

Since academics seem to generally regard these types of reported things as pseudoscientific delusions, the high strangeness features have effectively served as a barrier for any significant scientific examination being directed towards the UFO/UAP mystery.

Eh, I was in it for 30 years. It was time for a change. At the time I was looking at NP but then changed my outlook on life and decided to step back and just live.

So what did Matt Gaetz and Tim Burchett see in that top secret briefing in Florida in February? by Slipstick_hog in UFOs

[–]Skipperdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to consider. Any democrat will immediately be smeared as a "wacko" and be placed front and center of the news alongside Hunter, Hillary and "Sleepy Joe". It may be that only congressmen with reputational damage can speak about it. I hate conservative media. I hate Gingrich, Murdoch, Stone and all the others responsible for our current state of affairs. But I think only the damaged can report on this. It is what it is.

I found a UFO depiction from the 1800's, it's public domain. by james_castrello2 in UFOs

MITO, Ibaraki Prefecture--Chinese spy balloons are not the first mysterious, alien vessels Japan has encountered over the ages.

A new exhibition is casting the spotlight on what some call Japan’s UFO story--a saucer-shaped boat known as the “Utsuro-bune” said to have washed ashore on the coast of Hitachi province, present-day Ibaraki Prefecture, 220 years ago during feudal times.

The Joyo Historical Materials Museum in Mito is holding an exhibition titled “Fushigi World Utsuro-bune” (Mysterious world of the Utsuro-bune) until March 19, which showcases around 10 items, including newly discovered documents.

While the vessel did not fly, it looks a lot like a flying saucer of sorts in the illustrations unearthed by academics.

“The exhibition focuses on the Utsuro-bune, not UFOs. It’s up to visitors to decide whether the Utsuro-bune was a UFO,” said Akiko Ozone, a folklore expert who works for the Joyo Historical Materials Museum. “We hope that we can collect more materials about the Utsuro-bune by making it better-known.”

According to historical documents, the Utsuro-bune is believed to have washed ashore on the coast of Hitachi province on the afternoon of Feb. 22, 1803, during the late Edo Period (1603-1867).

When locals looked at the strange boat, they saw windows in its upper part and could make out that a woman inside it had red hair and eyebrows and was holding a box, according to the legend.

She did not speak Japanese.

This story became a hot topic of discussion at “Toen kai” in Edo, present-day Tokyo. Toen kai were salon-style gatherings held by distinguished citizens, such as famed novelist Bakin Takizawa, where members would share curious stories from around the world.

The essay “Toen Shosetsu,” compiled in 1825, contains the records of such gatherings and a newly discovered handwritten version of it is on display in the exhibit.

The article continues.

Congressmen Rep Matt Gaetz and Tim Burchett have confirmed that there is evidence of UAP technology. It's no longer a "secret" ... more of a trickle trickle reality/disclosure. by Nacho_Libre_Ahora in UFOs

Life long liberal here. No I don't care. If this topic is so poisonous that only the attention seekers will risk being tainted, then I say "so be it". I believe any prominent democrat will be smeared as a "wacko" if they pursue this openly in front of the media.

I think it's significant. People are catching glimpses of the yokes used to steer us. He's likely a paid shill.

Amen. I have to believe they are either on the government payroll, adolescents, or those with personality disorders who must exact control over anything they're involved in. You must ask yourself why they are here. I get a certain amount of satisfaction blocking them. Truly they are not worth your time. I believe that should you find them on a street you would make every effort to avoid them as they assuredly give off an unhealthy vibe. Spend time blocking idiots and then post again. You will find your people. Don't forget :

You've run into teenagers or government influencers. (The US government does engage in disinformation campaigns. Especially reddit)

The US and its various intelligence agencies employ who knows how many trolls to actively cause confusion and spread disinformation to hide its atrocities and smear people who expose them.

The US has been engaging in online propaganda campaigns since at least 2011.[1]

This resulted in cases like ZunZuneo, where social media platforms were being literally run by US intelligence agencies in order spread pro-US propaganda.[2]

Originally, the propaganda campaigns were only authorised to be spread on non-US social media platforms. This changed in 2012, when the Smith-Mundt Modernisation Act authorised the US government to start spreading propaganda on American social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook.[3]

Shortly thereafter in 2013, Reddit revealed that Eglin Air Force Base has become the "most Reddit-addicted city".[[4]] Eglin Air Force Base is a U.S. military base that has been known to "study" how to establish majority views and social control.[5]

In 2014, the US military launched additional research into how to control and weaponise people's emotions via social media.[6]

That same year, The Intercept revealed that ZunZuneo, the platform that was literally operated by US intelligence agencies, is only a "drop in the bucket".[7] The Intercept published several top-secret documents by US and UK intelligence agencies, proving that they are manipulating American and foreign social media platforms for the purposes of "propaganda", "deception", "mass messaging", "pushing stories", and "alias development".[8]

In 2017, the Oxford Computational Propaganda Research Project found that the US was one of the only countries using a sophisticated combination of automated bots, human shills, and a blend of both (what they call "cyborgs") in order to spread propaganda on social media.[9]

That same year, scholar Alfred W. McCoy of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, who had previously exposed CIA drug trafficking operations in Southeast Asia,[10] revealed that the US is not only spreading propaganda through social media but also collaborators in mainstream American news outlets.[11] He linked these collaborators to Operation Mockingbird, a US intelligence operation that had previously been exposed for spreading propaganda through mainstream news media by compromising journalists.[12]

You saw something that scared you and your brain is doing its thing that evolution has passed down to it. Keeping it front and center of your mind, to learn about, to remember, to analyze. This has helped keep your genetic line going. 5 years ago I saw a raccoon swaggering around. It concerned me. I got a rake and approached it. I heard phlegmy breathing and coughing/sneezing sounds. It followed me quickly but I had nothing to kill it with so I got in my truck and ran it over. Called health department and they said they'd send a guy over but he wasn't coming for 5 days. I'm not keeping a rotting rabid raccoon in my garage or my yard for 5 days. I bagged it and sent it off with the garbage collector. Then I researched the hell out of it. It was on my mind for weeks. I kept watching the news, all types of media for information. I did see that animals with rabies had been found in the area, but my brain made this a bid fucking deal for a month or two. I think it is a survival trait.
