  • where steven greer is going wrong

     steven greer is an interesting figure in the foyer of the 'look at me' types in the field of ufology. i watched his documentary yesterday called Sirius and was forced to intermittently pause and restart it in an effort to keep my companion both up to date with ideas and to relieve both of us from the shockarama of the visuals he had placed into the video. honestly not much of what he placed in the video visually was actually required or for that matter relevant. this got me curious as to his game. slowly i began to formulate what it is  that i recognize as wrong with that vision of the universe. how he portrays the essence of the ufo phenomena is both creepy and fully of mangled dissent. i kept finding myself doing a psyche profile on him every time a section was displayed. he, is troubled. it is obvious. 

     i mean absolutely no ill vision towards him. but honestly i am thinking of his message. which remains vaguely despot and displaced. with the infomercial mannerisms almost being as comical as a french mime overdosed on both caffeine and passion, you an see the painted face. it is weird. but more to what i see in him is this problem. so i find myself today motivated to speak to steve in the ethernet. i feel this need to explain something to him and you readers.

     there was a big mistake made in the 70's. an agency that represented the divorced advancement of the human race and it's vision of a grander future committed an act of potential terrorism, both beyond rational perception and beyond any form of rectifying , that we are all forced to just sit and wait.the potential of disaster is beyond anyone's even my own imagination. we are at the mercy of fate. the agency, was nasa. the act was letting out two deep space probes, named voyager. the conflict is a map and visual description of both our technology state and well, what kind of animal life we are. nasa sent this billboard out without doing the one thing that remains dauntingly serious about this whole potential contact thing . nasa did not ask the earth for permission to place us, humanity, collectively , at risk.

     i am sorry, but this is the truth. i have wondered about it since it was done. the only real aspect of it that is worthwhile is that is shows exactly how subterfuge and other aspects of the industrial overlords can be and get away with this. they began popping out strikingly wondrous photos of planets that had been witnessed only by telescope before.rejoiced in new found knowledge and scientific inquiry and pretty much expanded our vision of the universe beyond all satiation. we want more and more. but, you can color a wolf all you want, make it look like an amiable rabbit, the point is, they have placed us at extreme risk. how this plays out, is a matter of time. it always will be, it always was.

     i know it sounds dismal, forgive me of that, i am not really a conspiracy dismal type. i merely point out the truth.

    so, we have, in one stroke of awe inspiring genius more or less made our footsteps into the cosmos, being careful to keep our footpath clear. which is fine. what is done is done. we have leaped into the ocean with the sharks and we are out of our element. it is what we are best at.

     thing is, i think, i feel, i believe that many people including steven greer, have the whole concept wrong. i think that they do not understand how it really works in a universal sense. when, you watch these documentaries and you investigate some of the literature, all you see is conspiracy this and conspiracy that. how apparently so and so did this and big question of that . the vagueness is intended here, because , you see, it means nothing. it is only scared monkeys chattering about the suddenness of lightning. the sudden flash, the sound  and the recognizable effect it had on the area of strike. fear and unknowing, lack of control and question of motive. but it is tossed back and forth between us humans. it really goes no further.

     david hume once tried to prove existence of god or an alien life (all in how you see it), he created a cast of characters in a thought experiment. there was the skeptic, the believer and the indifferent. he used this to manifest an ability to uncover truths through the logically envisioned chat the characters had. i cant say that he was successful, he had to eventually make an allowance for the idea of faith, which ultimately would hand the winning wreath to the believer and therefore secure the validity of the entities existence. that tv show, ufo hunters, believe it or not, i only watched it once. guess what i saw? hume's experiment being acted out. that is all.

     so, we have monkeys acting out the flash of lightning that was in the savanna. it becomes customized and by doing so, falls into locke's concept of thought. we eventually claim ownership, individually of the phenomena and the actual event. all of this at first , is an attempt to understand it. but it goes in weird directions when resolution is not found. things go far out of the essence of the actual topic at hand.strange rituals will be made up and nearly neo-aztec sacrifice is made for no real progression, no real understanding, except basically that we are a bunch of monkeys scared of lightning.

     i do not doubt that what steve is investigating is scary stuff. that would most certainly be in top order. it is however human stuff. not what it is he and the people that follow potray that they are after. you can see more profound and absolute confirmation for every sinister plot device and action in his story / documentary then you can see about the very subject he is banking on. each and every person he shows, the witnesses all show the same thing. a wall and a barrier, the exclusive assumption that they have seen lighting up close and that they are giving us the lightning.

     last i checked, it pretty much does what it wants. the ufo phenomena is of it's own will and any knowledge or precept is not any single human's ownership. freewill, is simply that. which is the very real crux of the matter isn't it? i have read and investigated as much as any civilian can about this subject for more then 30 years, my mother had a book called stranger then fiction, it was my first true introduction into this stuff. i am not a sponge, i assume that you readers aren't too. that whole like attracts like thing certainly exists with me and people i meet.  so what we see is a person who is not getting his way, grouping up with people not getting their way and then putting across the fact that they are special and not getting their way. this is the baseline... i mean no insult, it just is what is there.

     i have lived a good part of my life not getting my way. i have even lived a good part of thinking that i was getting my way and discovering that i was wrong about what i thought was the way.the truth is, these people ,these individuals and this whole pseudo -hippy like  convention type of meditation is great for psychological therapy, but it is pointless towards any real contact. i question this extremely.

    i question how the really mellow wanna be fakir that describes the ability to group and manifest a mob of believers and terrifyingly the later depicted lengthy group of insets of supposedly common worldwide people all proclaiming that they are members of this collective sect. i question it so strongly, that i am compelled to ask what is different about their so called methods and the one shirley mclaine was involved with. indeed, what is any different?

    doctor greer, there is a race of humans, that existed in the american south west. they had this person in the tribe that can be found all over the world in different forms of gender or prestige. these people would for their entire life be instructed on how to address the unknown. they would be taught how to investigate the visions of the mind and they more importantly, were given a set of tools on how to deal with any state of consciousness. they are called shamans and these shaman types exist even on the cave paintings in france and you can see the miracle of their knowledge in the way they would attempt to draw human characteristics in the lions.the expression alone being an attempt to contact a deeper intelligence in the nature around them. the way the pictures showed things that only their minds, as complex as they were , could truly understand. the painters or shaman, who were under the intoxicating substance of mind altering drugs when they made these,showed math and science well beyond their potential understanding. if you look, you will see, they had a method and a true ritual for incorporating these images and recognizing what can be deemed only as alien.they commune with the otherworldly as a way of life.

     the same can be said from the myth and lore that has traversed down from the ages. the realization of vallez about there being at least a miniature humanoid race that lived or coexisted with humans for some time is both prevalent and ironically an example that i am trying to lead to in my discussion about you. you see steven, there is nothing new here. nothing at all. this is exactly what it is like for millions of years. we are an animal in the savanna. we are still in the savanna. the true context of contact, since before we were even human (sapiens) was as a member of the savanna. to an extraterrestrial race, we are nothing more then an animal in the savanna.

     you see, when we sent out voyager one and two, we mistakenly have increased our savanna beyond our scope of understanding. this of course would be quite obvious to anything that finds the probes. the caution displayed by even sharks, one of the most successful animals on earth, is key to how we should be. if there is even a remote possibility that what you and your people are doing is effective, then you should listen to life. it is the most experienced and advanced educator to what to do with alien life. it has had to deal with it since it began to evolve. every strategy ,every change ..everything is a result of that one thing. how to coexist and how to survive.for those who pay attention to such things, the only time an animal life seeks out the commune of another is when it has an upper hand or when to combined effort of both gain upper hand among the others. dogs and cats are self domesticated, we didn't do it , they did it on their own. they are superior to us in their element as it is, so obviously there was nothing stopping them. we had mastery of agriculture and storage of foodstuff, which attracted rodents , this was easy catch for those two creatures. they slowly incorporated their way of life with ours, in the savanna, in the nature of things.

     this, is how contact has to be made. we have to be in our nature. we have to show that we can coexist. it isn't about who is more aggressive and who is able to do whatever to get the attention on a individual or population level. unfortunately, that is already taken care of, thanks to nasa. if you look into the historical reports of the pretty obvious contact cases, you will find that the beings were only interested in coexisting. it is such a common theme and more prevalent that i am surprised most haven't figured it out. they, the beings in question themselves have been demonstrating exactly how they wish to interact. heck, even one asked for water to make oatmeal cookies, in prehistory case a japanese emperor met with one, they went hunting together,  others just wanna check out some plant life or something. very rarely if at all is anything sinister done. which means that the monkeys are still just fighting over who saw the lightning first when it comes to us.

     you have to throw away the 'ownership' steven, if you want to achieve your goal. you have to explain it the way it is. not how monkeys around campfires gesture and pose but as a member of the savanna. this is exactly how they, the aliens will and if it is true, should see us.  it is after all how we see elephants is it not? they are sentient , so that means nothing to us. we still see them as a member of the african wildlife backdrop. a member of the coexistence of the savanna. which ironically, after sending out the probes, thereby expanding our range of presence beyond comprehension both in space and time, we have made our territory pretty  much relatively, exactly there. which will be of interest to any investigating species. how are we faring? what are we showing? are we aware of our actions?

     it wont do any good to get involved with the mad monkeys around the campfire, the truth is, it doesn't matter what black ops bob thinks, the aliens, if they are there, operate way beyond any of our control. just look at the fear the foo fighters created in the world military during ww2 and after. it really has no bearing on them being here or not. what does, what really does , is how are we living, how are we showing that our thoughtless sending of the probes was not a mistake, that given all the screw up and everything that is so messed up about a bunch of homicidal monkeys dancing around a campfire because they didn't get their way , somehow if given the chance we are ready? 

    this remains questionable , if the educators that claim to bring the knowledge are too busy showing the monkey business and focusing on 'that isn't fair dept'. it is education of earth, as a planet. the understanding of what a planet is. how we affect a planet. how we understand that we can affect other planets. responsibility and the acknowledgement of actions. the recognition of things like ecology and the ability, this is very important steven, to change everything at once, because in the universe, things happen faster then all at once. especially when it comes to the possibility of a space/time travelling population. we have to show that monkeys do exist, but whatever, leave them be.. they will be included anyways. we all live in the savanna.

  • the who what where of huh?

    i have a saying that i recite to myself whenever i approach a mystery. start with what you know. I believe anything is possible but with the conditions met. in order for that to happen, you have start with what you know. seemingly baseline common sense stuff there but maybe i need to clarify something. always start with what you know is real, by real i mean, what you know truly exists. this comes into a better focus when a person considers that what we see on most sci fi movies is actually considered possible or potentially realistic by the majority of people. truth is, i sincerely hope not. some of the things we take for imaginitive future or fantasy projection are horribly misguided.

    classic example of this is the transporter on star trek. which realistically is a bunch of undead humans running around commiting moral experiments on each other. after all, the device apparently disintergrates a persons atomic structure and heaven knows what else and in a piecemeal fashion shoots the atoms hopefully to a point in space. then reassmbles them according to a blueprint that is literally dependant on an algorithium.sadly it means every single person that has used one of these in the trekkie-verse is an undead version of them self. while i leave that to speculation. i merely point out that since we do not know when true death occurs. it is probably a wise idea not to mess with the molecular bonds and thier valency.but i do contend that anything is possible if conditions are met. so, ironically i consider life on titan to be actually very much along the lines of the transporter idea. no, it doesnt go from point b from point a. at least not willfully. however the dissemination and recontruction is probably very likely. i would also wager that the same possibility exists on triton and maybe the outwardly frozen europa. the way i see it work is like this, the sun and possibly some kind of geo-thermal effect is active in such a way that when the time is right. the amino acids do connect and do bind. the whole thing occurs in the air where it is most dense and when titon is closer to the solar/planet radiation. it is prime. then when that window goes by due to the orbits. it all just goes into pieces and diffuses into the greater whole of the atmosphere.this is pretty much what could be happening. the life, is cloned, like many microbes on earth and it probably cant evolve normally like our own.still, if dna exists in any form it is possible that it has chemically retained information that could enable advancement. triton is incredibly cold, but it may have the same idea going on with it as well.in and out of existence, just like any meson particle.imagine.anything is possible if the conditions are met.

    in the real world there is this prevalent myth of a hairy tall primate that is magically appearing more on blurry videos taken by unwitting but strangely prepared witnesses then in any mythological base. honestly there is no way such an animal can exist in north america, without us knowing about it for centuries. you can imagine how many strongly debated send offs i have been involved in. online, the place of supposed shared information , i am attacked profusedly. funny thing is as a student of ancient humans, who has a deep fascination for anything paleontology related, i am not voicing opinion when i relate to the subject of scientific study. i am in actuality demonstrating the very somber and present state of affairs concerning such an animal's existence. the opinion belongs to the people who did not feel it was worth the time to actually study the relevent fields in order to have a clear understanding of the things required for such a entity to exist.which takes roughly 3 to 4 years.so such people comment on what they dont know. even the naysayers i have met, use wrong assumption to credit thier stance on the improbable proof these exist.
    as a student of anthropology and all the related stuff, i can tell you loosely that it is probably the lack of community that would be inescapable as proof towards the nonexistence of large hairy humanoids. there is no primate on earth, humanity included, that doesn't in some way have a community or socialized behavior that is recognizeable in the enviroment. cats, are different, some dogs if abaondoned from the pack maybe, bears most likely are loners, but anything primate, not gonna happen. the reasons are not all that complex, simply put, it is the only way an animal not made for the enviroment can formulate a strategy to survive in a hostile enviroment. seeing as how we do not have claws, we are not super sense animals with radical smell or audio capabilities. this is how we survived and how primates have prevailed. coupled with our omniverous diets, it has proven to be a godsend. all primates have this as thier main tool. the lack of community and the reported size of the creatures in question , which means they need a lot of protien to even be able to have the energy to move, means simply that in a frozen wasteland that has had access from the proposed place of origin torn away either in the form of a land bridge or ice bridge. before and possibly during the time we supposedly had just begun to control fire remains  specualtive, since we know that the protagonists of the first fire control being either erectus or neandrathal had some pretty recognizeable behaviors involving commune. well, actually...you can see..it slowly starts to go south when you piece what you know into the puzzle.

    people forget that the unexplained has one fundamental requirement in the universe. it has to obey the laws of physics. the only time it doesnt is because of etiher a law we havent found yet or a perversion occurs due to some force or energy we have not yet identified. in no way, for that matter were any laws not obeyed. for example magnetic poles have two forces, attraction and repel. both can be witnessed. but if seen out of context both can be seen as wholey different. these magnetic forces can go all the way down to molecular and atomic levels. what can be witnessed is beyond the scope of any single mind. yet, the sun sends massive amounts of this very thing at us with every solar eruption and it causes electrical outages and other electrical things. positive ions have been known to alter mood in humans. the more you investigate, the more seperated the connection appears, but really it comes down to what do you know? we know that electrical magnetism is the same as naturual magnetism and can be created by electricity and further, by static charge. we witness the shock everytime we scuff our feet on the carpet. it really isnt that far out there. but may i remind you that in no way does this mean that the curiousity of the subject at hand is invalid. just that it must follow physical law. by physical law i mean it must have a basis in reality.

    for me, myself when handed a mystery or made aware of one. i always pay attention to myself. you see, humans have a built in model of the universe, as i have said before we have a internal understanding of gravity. truly, magnificent. it enables a baseball player to throw an out from deep left field. all of that is an arcane biological math that is as profound as a bat and it's echolocation. quite the celebration of our origin i would think. so, we all have a sense of the universe built in. when a person looks at something objectively, they should pay attention to themself. listen to if they feel there is something wrong.then ask the questions. questions are a way of formulating the perception. i wouldnt exactly say they are meant to be answered, only that they help a person understand what it is about the physical universe that they are unconcioiusly sensing is wrong. it helps a person pinpoint what they see out of mode with the universe.vagueness withstanding, it still gives sense to true observation. you may say, first we have to sense then we investigate. not the other way around.

    the subconcious self is our naturual language internalized. we have to translate what it sees into the verbally recognized fashion we call thought. the only way to effectively do this is to pay attention to it. since it talks in ways that are obscure, via emotion and perceptions. we have to remain open to it's cues.this is teh bridge between true human intellect and the modern concept of thought. i think a perfect example is thales when he discovered the earth was round. it wasnt complicated. he noticed that the ships in the distance looked like they were ontop of the horizon and as they came near, they would sink into the vista of the vast ocean. so you see, subconciously, he recognized something. his intellect was telling him there was something strange about this vision. he correctly deduced that the reason the ships appeared to sink as they grew closer was because the earth was round. just like looking at a sphere and its circumferane then leading your eye to center, which would be the closest point to the observer.

    this is the way most mysteries must be first ascertained. we are living animals with a very active sensory information connection to the universe. it never stops working.even in comas we are still gaining information from the enviroment. the trick is, allowing these senses to communicate to oneself. remembering that it isnt nescesarrily answering the questions , but trying to understand why the questions exist. this is what creates the bridge between mind and thought. when you consider the effect that sublimnal advertisement has had on behavior and social norm as a whole, you can see what i mean. these perceptions and these states of awareness are persistent and unrelenting towards recognition.

    so it remains that nothing is impossible, as long as the conditions are met. but first we need to manifest the conditions.

  • green men and strawberry ice cream

     throughout my life i have constantly been into ufo. it was a natural path actually for a person like myself, who was conditioned to think and imagine worlds that were both exotic and alien to our being. after all, a walk through the Jurassic park is anything but ordinary. the giddy feeling of wanderlust just hit me now, as i am writing this. such is the way of a student of ancient earth. the first thing you learn is, anything is possible, it just falls under conditions. simple math, if a and b are met then you can bet c is certainly probable and given life's avid fondness for opportunity most likely already active or most certainly was at one time. life as a universal force leaves no loose ends. it is as fascinated with the universe as i or any human with intellectual curiosity. never satisfied and always craving more.i think this tendency of myself came from living near the ocean. the vastness of discovery is treasure that remains unspoiled even to this day in my spirit. so strong is it, that i don't even need to return to the spots to relive the fascination and in my adulthood, i choose not too. it is one part of myself i don't want to grow up.

     but as i said, long have i contemplated the idea of alien life. it goes as stages. this is something i recognize in my fellow humans. we tend to go through these stages. first is the omnipotent wish fulfillment. we want an omniscient being that rights every wrong and as most myths go, be in battle with it's nemesis the being that wrongs every right. the black and white, with us in the gray, such is the way we envision. this by the way is prevalent throughout history both in religion and just general human consciousness. i think we can all safely say that we would emotionally regret having to kill a beautiful animal. the ability to feel compassion and adore the grace of life is both strong and a powerful force in our minds. so you have that imbalance within, which is unnameable in prehistory only that it must be done.the gray. i have actually watched nature films, those that feel the perverse need to show the ravenous feeding of animals on each other. to see if there is any emotive empathy. to date, i cant say i have recognized anything that would qualify as mercy, only the treatment of another prey animal as a toy object, then the releasing due to distraction or boredom. i have witness this behavior in a killer whale with a seal. flipping it all around and i remember thinking how incredible the fact that the seal's spinal chord wasn't fractured and it wasn't rendered paralyzed. the seal was released after the play time was over. the only benefit was the whale had already fed. humans, we do not have this.i don't think we are actually capable of it.even the similar practice of it would be largely due to some perverse mental condition.some aspect of psyche that is in some way deranged. it is not within us to be this sick to any life.

     however fear of contradiction ensues, shark-finning is not a healthy past time. but i remark, we live in the gray. the people that do it on a grand scale both respond and endeavor to an unrealistic force. one that is a perversion of nature. they fish in this horrid way , because it is the optimal foraging strategy they have grown to elect as their main way of getting money .which is not an object but a principle of merit that enables them to get anything they want from other people that have ventured into alternate foraging strategies. for example: one guy makes furniture, because he gets money , the fishing people catch fish to get money. the money enables the furniture maker to obtain the food and sundries required to live, the money buys the furniture to provide sundry and luxury to the fisherman. such is the way we live in modern times. immediately removed from what we would naturally have to do on a constant basis. imagine that you would have to gut, skin and prepare rabbits or any animal, that you would have to know how to thread and create your clothes, that you would have to know how to start a basic fire, that you would have to know how to forecast reliably the weather in order to be able to traverse over a far range. imagine that you would have to know how to make your own tools and you would have to have some sort of knowledge of the animal life and plant life to stay alive. we are removed greatly from this, but we live in the grey. this is not a recent fashion either, people began to recognize the gray long ago. so, we began to imagine omniscient life, life that lives outside this strangely inescapable circle of conditional existence. we began to imagine it demanding a way that is both humble and modest. we wanted a father and mother figure to provide guidance for sciences and psychology that we did not know the name of yet. so we gave imagination names and we applied our vision of moral right and wrong to it.

     in this aspect, one can say that we have had contact with an alien intelligence since before we could write words. for this recital, this inception of ideas and mores as they were pushed onto the mind and therefore true interaction of the universe by even the stone age people , is nothing more then an alien intelligence and the effect it would have on us. after all, as we perfected the vision and the sincerity of the moral concepts, so too did the intelligence evolve into something seemingly alien. this was so powerful a force, so magnificent a concept, whose success was largely due to our social behavior and the need to look good to the alpha male. be it father or hero figure, that when we reached the advancement of the age enlightenment. the time when humans realized the earth was decipherable according to provisions that if followed could place any mysterious thing into a manageable concept, the fore bearer, emmanual kant himself had a paradox that cant be reliably answered. which is that if someone has done something socially bad or morally, having done penance for it and now is among the normal population, having acquire a possible way to be in a position that may repeat the action (if the person is still of that moral thought) do we inform the employers of the  person's past or do we remain out of the issue. this, is an example of how far the alien intelligence that humans created has gone. such a complex and versatile intellect. we do tend to outdo ourselves don't we?

     anyways, that is the usual first , albeit highly generalized of course, mode of consideration. as a kid, a person would envision an alien like superman or any multitude of personages that would avenge the evil of the wayward human or alien mind. we apparently desire an avenging god. which feels somewhat contradictory. my main plaint against religion is if the so called god loves unconditionally why then all that destruction, which is authoritatively reported to be its own doing and action? allowing all the male children in kingdom born on a date to be killed, in order to have its miraculous one of virgin birth. doesn't seem to be all that unconditional. so, yea, we want an avenging god or alien. it is the juvenile aspect i suppose.

     we have matured thankfully to some degree thanks to the way science and then technology have demonstrated the plausibility of some beliefs, but also ironically from some doctrines as well. the idea of passive /aggressive demonstration and other forms of public deference to imposition being none violent is relatively new. still on the drawing board. somewhat ironic isn't it? i mean here we have the proof of psychological mindset, being so strong and having the influence to literally meld and change whole civilizations. so we know that the simplicity if mindset in a population alone is potentially enough. but apparently in a very large sense, the same action, when done toward a social more or some aspect of human existence is acted out. the lack of violence means it is not as serious. not taken as equally deterministic. it appears that we are losing faith in the alien intelligence we created. 

     or maybe, for the record, the climate and ecology has shifted for it to survive. anyways, we then turn to the very real possibility that the aliens are just like us, with better toys. which is probably very true. this is where i am in my adult hood. constantly trying to understand how alien culture works. trying to understand how a nomadic group of neandratal worked out social hierarchy and if it was based on relativistic principle or lore , maternal or paternal bound castes. you name it. this is the vast methodology that incorporates the majority of my mind. when i get bored, i apply it to animals, extinct and surviving and when i wanna fantasize, to space. such is the way of being a student in paleontology and having wanderlust that exceeds the existence of his own time.

     there is one thing, that i can truly state. we have been aware of alternate life , like our own, for millions of years. we knew about it's possibility as far back as homo erectus. as is demonstrated through artifact and more definitive through behavior of neandratal as is demonstrated by areas of domicile. cro-magnon with it's intricate weaving of art and tool mastery. we have consciously not only knew, but in some ways, prepared or reacted in ways that would mean plainly, we know we are not alone.

    any archaeology student and any one who looks into this objectively will come to this point. strange things have happened. the question remains, what and when and more importantly is it happening even now?

    i remember the ocean was this incredibly massive foreboding living entity. it is dark blue, so beautiful, roiling and crashing against my security of land. i knew it was winning, that piece by piece land was being stripped from me. i would be inevitably engulfed with the rest of the biomass the ocean calls its own. i knew that this was a matter of time. like the ocean, space is just a huge engulfing recycling mystery of forces beyond my conception. within that other life lives, beyond a doubt. it really all comes down to a matter of time.

    it is just a matter of time.

  • back to basics

     I once had a blog that was dedicated to ufo and all strangeness. there are ideas and perceptions about this phenomena , ( one of the few times that word has been used correctly in modern language); which remain stigmatic to a persons vision when researched. one of the most prevalent ones is this strange bias that ufo or alien visitation only truly began with media that can be reproduced. for example photographs. such is not the case, not in a long shot, in fact i am more apt to accept to a higher degree second hand testimony from before technology like that exist. it deals with the mindset of the people at the time. one example i always have at hand in my mind when i read stuff about visitation is the french coast invasion in the 14 hundreds. there were three disc like objects that flew off the coast in full view of hundreds of people. they went a few miles offshore and in each, an occupant in a suit that can only be described as a deeps sea diver type leaped off and dived below the ocean surface. this was while the french naval batteries were trying like mad to shoot them in the water. they wasted over one hundred rounds of cannon fire, to no avail. the discs eventually scooped their passengers up and they flew off over the land and up the coast. subsequently there were sightings in different regions of France two more times, one more inland and the other more north up the coast.

     so what of it? why would i focus on that as a guideline when reading the reports and paraphernalia of the ufo stuff? well, compare that to the tale of a person who when she was a little girl in 56 claimed to have been abducted. she stated (later in the mid 80's) , that a huge green fireball went soaring over her farmhouse and collided into the ground and barn. she then recounted that the military appeared and they were scooping up everything with gadgets and even stated she saw some officers walking with aliens at one point. she was in her room and story goes that an alien was smooth talking her, and telling her that she is safe , the military then advanced into the room and she describes the military in a  derogatory fashion from the start. she describes that she was wary of them and that she didn't trust them.this is in 56. the problem? there is no real likely reason a little girl in 1956 would distrust the military. they were seen as heroes by one and all. they had just won the war very recently. the greater part of the populace didn't see the military as anything like one would see them today. in other words the more you read her description , as she describes the event in her recollection as a little girl. it becomes mysterious why she automatically was thinking of the military personal ( who were trying to calm her down and give a sedative) . in fact, in one objective view , you would actually interpret the military personal , a nurse and someone else, as trying to help a little girl that was suffering trauma from having a bromide meteorite smash into her barn. the fact they spent hours trying to help her talk it out and help her relax, shows only the true dedication and genuine concern. the female, didn't see it this way. she describes it, as if she was living in the 70's and it was the 'man' that had come to brainwash her.

     no matter how modern the story looks, no matter how detailed and recognizable it is, you have to question the time and place. so, the french 14 or 16 century one, i submit, there is no way these people, could have perceived technology that would exist centuries after them and further more not refer to it in a religious context. but as a deftly inscribed description of alien craft. they were able to describe the craft and the divers, the fact they could fly (with no wings?). this remains remarkable. i can only assume that this is as true and reliable as a photo. 

     and so.. this is how it goes, things like this swamp the ufo as a condition in society. we all have an individual stance and further an individual myth behind it. to some it is totally human made. this is not probable. sightings, reliable as detailed and highly relevant as modern ones go before written history. multicultural too. though i am skeptical of the daniken artifacts. i am not dissuaded by the testimony of individuals throughout history.

    one example was a priest in 15 century italy. who was visited by two beings. he described the two individuals as explaining the meaning of the universe and the philosophy as a metaphysical condition.the whole thing was almost based on existentialism. the ideas that the priest related were far , far , very far beyond the way people of his time envision the universe.there is no way such modern vision of life and death would remotely exist at that time.yet there it is, written down, eternally, for people to read and contemplate. this priest was visit by two aliens who told him tons and tons of information.not a god, not a holy spirit , not an angel , he describes them as being from space. which is where they informed him they came from. so before the sky was understood to be gas and with a boundary, this priest knew that earth was finite and space was eternal.it boggles me.

     i trust that story more then i trust 99 percent of the footage or photos i seen on the net. it is because. in the 15 century, the church was totally against any philosophy that contradicts the churches.they were actively making sure that none of the conflicting attitudes of the pre-socratic greek philosophers spread. in other words, there is literally no way the priest could have a concept of metaphysical existence.none at all.

    so as you can see, the idea that only modern accounts are reliable is poppycock. many of the ancient ones don't describe a father figure type of alien or an all seeing and wise one. they were described in all sizes and shapes with mischievousness to emphatic traits. don't recall one that was hostile to any human in the ancient literature.
