Wishful Thinking?
Guess who I woke up with this morning? Yeah Marilyn snores, but at least she's cuddly and her lipstick never comes off.
I didn't have a fantastic quality sleep, so I was happy to hang out at home, watch some stuff I've downloaded and get some washing done.
I watched an amazing documentary called Out of The Blue - The Definitive Investigation of the UFO Phenomenon. There is amazing footage of a UFO that actually engages with a rocket and destroys it. There is also a pattern of contact between some kind of airborne object, let's just say 'something', and areas on Earth that are usually off limits to average people like you and me. A lot of the footage is really provocative, and for me, quite exciting. It's easy to be dismissive, and it's interesting to see how much we don't know despite some alarming but mostly exciting evidence.
It's interesting to speculate whether the government is going to such great lengths to prevent public knowledge of this specifically to ensure that they stay 'the government'. What I am saying is some of the effects of contact with these unidentifiable things have resulted in serious malfunctions of military equipment (which the military obviously says is 'not serious' or 'unimportant'). It is quite an exhaustive documentary, gathering evidence from not only the States, but also Russia, France and the United Kingdom.
Common to all of the most compelling sightings is that they appear to make no sound, move incredibly quickly, possess vastly superior technology, absorb energy from their surroundings, including radio waves, and seem to be disk shaped and silver-metallic.
It is interesting what explanations, official explanations the government put forward to dismiss thought of extraterrestrials. Amongst others:
Lighthouse
Weather Balloon
Swamp Gas
The implications, for some, are that these phenomena threaten our global security. But the majority of people feel that there may be more of a benefit than risks involved to humankind.
Afterall, it seems these incidents only occur in environments that are conducting either nuclear experiments, or nuclear tests, and it seems the interference is not hostile in and of itself. Maybe they are protecting our kind from the worst of our kind. It is a nice daydream, but I am not sure what relevance it has in our daily lives.
Then again, maybe UFO's are more likely to land on the White House Lawn, than I am likely to wake up with Marilyn after a night in Hongdae. Stranger things have happened.
