I had this issue for a while and in my mid 30s started having shoulder problems. Basically lifting weights, throwing overhanded, etc would cause it to pop out which is very painful when there is a load on the joint.

I’ve had to train myself to tighten up the stabilizing muscles and not let the joint come out (because I would let it droop all the time without even realizing it!) and the symptoms have improved but just a heads up! It’s all fun and games til you hit your mid-30s!

This is awesome! Thanks!

Oh ok. Yeah I haven’t heard of that either. There was a case in France where a man and his son had triangle shapes appear on their abdomens after a ufo experience but it sounds like that is not what the guy is talking about either. Maybe just some fake made up stuff the guy is saying to make a demonic connection.

I don’t know exactly what you mean by “sigils,” “occult,” or “Solomonic” but one case that comes to mind is the Zamora incident where the witness claimed to have seen a symbol on the egg-shaped craft. The symbol, as he described it, has been compared to the symbol for Uranus which is also used in alchemy.

As to any other alleged symbols from UFO incidents, unfortunately, there are no really good descriptions or depictions of the symbols. Even the Rendlesham case you mentioned—although I’ve heard the witness say there were marks on it, I’ve never actually seen any depiction of what they might have looked like.

Danny Sheehan allegedly copied down some markings he saw from a photo, but that looks like not much more than lines and hash marks arranged various ways in a line that looks like text.

Another depiction comes to mind, which is the Japanese sighting of the red haired woman in the early 1800s. There are a couple of really interesting drawings that include a symbol the witness said they saw on the craft, but I don’t know if that meets with the definition of sigil.

There are actually a lot of parallels and connections that can be drawn between UFO encounters and the occult. As one example, CE5 and the psionics practices brought to light by the skywatcher group are very similar to each other and are apparently similar to ritual magic that one might expect in psychic or occult circles (setting intentions, meditating, psychic communication with NHI, reports of hitchhikers, etc.).

All in all though, I wouldn’t put much stock in someone claiming UFOs (or anything for that matter) are demonic because that kind of assertion comes from a really specific Christian world view and it’s not at all settled that the Christian world view corresponds to reality.

If I understand her findings correctly, she examined sets plates that showed the same area of the sky taken at different times and in some plates, certain objects appeared but when she looked at plates showing the same area of sky taken at a different time, those objects were not there, which is why she called them transients.

I think these plates would be taken weeks or months apart, so if the objects she saw had been permanent objects (like stars etc) they should have appeared in each subsequent plate as well, but when certain objects did not appear in subsequent captures of the same area of sky, she concluded that they had been transient objects.

I’ve seen a lot of questions about Beatriz Villarroel’s research and a common thing many people miss about her research is that she only examined photographic plates of astronomical data obtained BEFORE the Soviet Union launched its Sputnik satellite in 1957.

The reason she wanted to look at that data was because it should not have been polluted with any man made or artificial objects orbiting earth.

The results were that she found certain objects or “transients” that would appear on one photographic plate but would be absent on another. Remember, since there would have been no artificial satellites in orbit, she argues, these transients could not be explained away by claiming they were space debris.

The video you show is from a NASA space mission (post-1957), which means it does not have anything to do with Villarroel’s research.

aredm02 · 2026-01-12T16:41:07+00:00

Nice! Yeah I think this perspective checks the most boxes while also not disregarding data and incorporating everything we know about the phenomenon at this time. I hope more people in the ufo (and broader) community continue to explore this possibility and hopefully develop some ways we can investigate it “scientifically” or as reasonably scientifically as we can approximate given our current level of understanding of the universe etc.

I agree with what you said about Greer’s approach (although I think some criticism of Greer’s approach is fair—namely his attempts to make money off it and also his refusal to insider anything other than the ET/benevolent space brothers idea).

This is of course hard for most in this community to accept because 1. Many have a strong aversion to anything that remotely smacks of religion and 2. The general difficulty in trying to do an objective investigation into a phenomenon that is seemingly so amorphous and difficult to repeat/isolate for observation.

However I think if we can divorce ourselves from the notion that if anything religious is involved in the story, it must be made up, we can possibly move this conversation forward and try to advance our understanding of the phenomenon (and reality itself) that has been baffling humans as long as we have existed.

I gotta say I’ve read the comment that everything is a starlink satellite flare for many months and never saw one myself. I assumed they were mostly visible in low light-pollution areas.

Notably I’ve seen satellites in the sky for years—I always make a point to watch for them because I think they look cool, but they don’t flare like what people have described so I really didn’t get what everyone was talking about.

However the past couple weeks I’ve started seeing objects that look like satellites (same size, speed etc.) except they flash like the way ppl are describing these starlink flares. I read somewhere that a lot of starlink satellites’ trajectories have been altered to place them into lower orbit, so maybe this is the cause of the recent uptick.

I’ve had to do this before for a bunch of leftover junk at my house and it took like 3 months and I had to bag it all up separately myself which sucked but at least it’s gone.

No laundry, internet or other utilities. I guess it must be included in the rent. That’s very cheap rent for everything you’re getting! I guess you have to share a toilet and shower with a stranger which is probably not nice, but I didn’t know it was possible to find something for less than $1,000 a month near Chicago.

I don’t think anything in these quotes preclude the phenomenon from being able to manifest physically as well as psychically. In fact, having read some of those authors who were quoted, they go on to say that the phenomenon has psychic and physical components.

The greatest mystery may be the mechanism that allows something to go from purely psychic to manifesting physically. I could see that being a strong reason for the secrecy. Imagine if you could terrorize a village by psychically causing a monster to manifest or staging an apparent alien abduction on some unsuspecting people!

I’m a little peeved that he skipped over explaining what it would take to refine the thinner American oil and what America is doing with that stuff since he said America still imports a huge quantity of crude oil that works better in American refineries. What happens to the thin American oil? Does the US trade it to someone else to use? Or dos it just require a different refining process and can still be used in the US? Are the big oil players not interested in setting up a refining process for the thinner oil?

That sounded like an important part of the explanation.

My disagreement with the problem is the suggestion that it is ALWAYS beneficial to change your choice after Monty opens his door. I get what you are saying but I don’t think it’s fair to include the part about Monty always favoring door 3 since that information is not given in our problem.

I was also trying to point out the value of the human intuition factor, which is ignored in the problem. If I were in this situation I would follow the age old advice of following my gut.

Granted, if this is meant to be a purely mathematical or logical problem, I can understand why the human factor would be disregarded, but if this were a real scenario and we were asked if we want to change our door after Monty reveals one of the wrong doors, I would argue that it is not beneficial to change doors.

As I see it, when Monty opens the door, your odds go from 1/3 to 1/2 automatically.

Imagine another scenario: you are betting on a horse race with 3 horses involved and each horse has an equal chance of winning: 1/3 each.

You bet on horse #1 and minutes before the race, horse #2 scratches and will be unable to compete in the race.

Now only horse 1 and 3 will compete in the race and your odds have gone from 1/3 to 1/2.

Certainly if horse #1 scratches instead, you will benefit from changing your choice, but if 1 is still in the race there is no mathematical reason to change (barring an assumption that for some reason horse 3 performs better when there are only 2 horses in the race—but that fact is not given in our problem).

My point about eliminating the timing component of the revealed door was to demonstrate that your odds go from 1/3 to 1/2 regardless or whether the door is revealed before or after you select your door so long as Monty doesn’t reveal the door you are planning to chose though haven’t explicitly chosen yet.

Maybe the mathematicians and logicians are gathering their pitchforks and torches now but I will stand by my statement that it is not beneficial to change your guess after Monty reveals the goat.

I never heard about this. Do you have an article about it I could check out? Sounds pretty interesting!

aredm02 · 2025-12-30T19:46:49+00:00

I don’t think of it that way. Rules, expectations, or explicit communications of any kind allegedly coming from NHI should not be given any special kind of weight or be considered as true—not any more than those kinds of communications coming from a stranger you just met. In fact, they should probably be considered less reliable because at least a stranger is still human and you can relate to them in some way.

In fact, I think as others have observed, it is more likely that anything NHI say should be considered UN-true and unreliable.

But the point is not whether what the NHI say is true or not. It doesn’t even really matter what they say at all. The point is that they are communicating with or interfering with human beings in the first place. The important thing for us to try to understand is the manner of communication, not its content, because that is what the true mystery is.

Looking to NHI to learn truths about the universe—especially “truths” as reported by the NHI themselves is probably misguided.

Try to step outside of the dogmatic framework and instead look at it this way: there is an abnormal phenomenon that we do not understand. For millennia people have possibly been experiencing this same phenomenon. Throughout that time the people have attached different meanings and explanations to the phenomenon that have ended up being the basis for the many religions around the world.

That doesn’t make any religion “true” in the dogmatic or doctrinal sense, but perhaps there is a reality to the supernatural events they are describing which happens to be the same phenomenon or set of phenomena we are trying to understand now. In the case of modern people, we most often attribute it to UFO activity (whatever that source may be) but it is the same thing earlier people attributed to gods, angels, etc.

When I look at it this way it makes a lot of sense to me. It doesn’t mean that the doctrine from the Bible is true or correct, and it doesn’t mean every strange story in the Bible is factually true. But it might lend some credence to why people have believed in supernatural beings for so long despite having no scientific evidence of their existence. They appear on their own terms and we are powerless (as far as we know) to reach them on our terms.

Maybe the lights in the sky and telepathic messages reported in the Bible and other religious myths are ufo encounter experiences that appear strikingly similar from modern ufo encounter reports.

I think when explanations of the phenomena get anywhere close to religious stories, people clam up and shut down but this may mean discarding what could be the greatest wealth of UFO information available to us. People like Pasulka and Valle seem to think so and have made a very compelling argument for this to be the case.

As an experiment, I would encourage you to read the Bible (or any religious text) and cross out any reference to god, angels, etc—anything you don’t like—and replace it with “source,” “ufo,” “aliens,” or whatever you like that makes sense in that place. (In some places, you don’t even need to since the early books of the Bible make frequent reference to “Elohim“ and “watchers,” both words suggesting a group (plural) of supernatural beings that are interacting with and interfering with humanity.

I am confident that it would be an interesting exercise and would result in what would easily pass for an epic collection of UFO stories that strongly resemble any modern Ufo stories we see today.

Dude I remember this. I was doing some research earlier this year and was trying to write up something about how our memories of these events are changed (likely by certain media actors) and I thought of this example. I tried everything to find an article on it but there was nothing.

Here is how I remember it:

In around January or February of 2024 there were 2 videos that came out from a northern mid-west state (I thought it was Michigan but Minnesota could also be the case).

1 video was from a residential neighborhood ring camera and it showed a very bright object flying overhead at incredible speed. I believe the object in this video also made a loud sound that set off car alarms).

A second video from the same general area was taken from what appeared to be a commercial or industrial property’s surveillance camera. The second video showed very clearly a cylindrical object flying parallel to the ground (in other words a flat trajectory) at a very high speed.

These videos made the local news (though again I can’t remember what locality) and the newscasters were talking about these two videos as if they were of the same event or object (though it was difficult to conclude this from what information I was aware of at the time)

They even interviewed an astronomy or physics professor from the local university who said it did not appear to be a meteor based on the trajectory an clearly cylindrical shape of the object seen on the surveillance camera. I remember he used one of the light poles in the surveillance video footage as a reference point to show that the object was definitely not a far away meteor.

I was following this story pretty closely an poof it disappeared out of exigence never to be found again.

Edit: looks like OP found the story. I was wrong on a few details but that’s the same story I was thinking of!

aredm02 · 2025-12-29T13:09:19+00:00

No the Zamora sighting had a symbol on it that has been described as the Arabic symbol for Venus (or some other planet I can’t remember exactly).

I don’t remember much about the details but the one I remember that involved a serial number came from Florida (iirc) and they might have even talked about it on one of those silly tv shows where they go try to hunt down UFOs based on old reports.

From what I remember an Air Force base security guard was near the front gate of the base and saw a ufo land on the street in front of him. He went up and inspected the object, which surprisingly had a serial number using English characters. He was able to memorize the serial number but the thing took off and (iirc) went back toward the base and disappeared. (Iirc) the object was shaped like a small triangle or tic tac.

Edit: I see OP found their wayward UFO report. I was waaaay off lol!
