I started writing a lot today but it was all bits and pieces, half finished thoughts that were typed out between wiping a poop covered bum or switching laundry or fantasizing about sweet, chocolate, sugary goodness. Everyone in my house is asleep, except for me of course and the only noise is the TV and the dryer. I am dangerously alone with my thoughts and some strange little ideas floating around me.
I watched a documentary today about aliens, UFOs, extraterrestrial life and questioning whether or not they exist but also if they have visited our little planet. Food for thought. I honestly think it would be naive to believe that life would not exist on other planets. Let's face it, our sun could very easily be a star in someone else's sky. Wouldn't it be interesting to think that when we look through our telescopes at the night sky that someone, at a distance hard to comprehend, is also looking back at us.
It seems lately that there is a lot of information being released to the public from many governments, including our own, sharing all documents (military, civilian, local police, observatories, etc) relating to UFOs and their sightings. This does not include the United States, sadly enough because wouldn't we all love to read the real information regarding Roswell and Area 51. There are many high ranking government officials and professional people coming forward with information of things they have both seen, experienced and took part in.
One would include Dr. Steven Greer, a recognized medical doctor from the state of Virginia and North Carolina and the former chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Caldwell Memorial Hospital in Lenoir, North Carolina. He is credited as the founder of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence as well as The Disclosure Project. He believes that it is imperative that governments release all their knowledge of UFOs and alien life as it is believed that these foreign species may hold the key and the technology to free humanity's reliance on natural gas and help us to curb our ongoing fight on pollution, global warming, etc. In my humble opinion, this is a valid argument.
Another notable person speaking out about the existence of alien life and their presence on our planet is Dr. Edgar Mitchell, an astronaut on the Apollo 14 mission and the sixth man to walk on the moon. He claims to have first-hand knowledge of aliens and also claims that many governments, including the United States, have had contact with alien species over the last sixty years. It all sounds crazy but when reading about this man's history including his work with both the US Navy and NASA as well as being educated through numerous science degrees including a Doctor of Science Degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Michigan Institute of Technology (MIT) and numerous honourary doctorates from multiple universities, it could make even the most skeptical raise an eyebrow and pay attention.
Recently, on September 27, 2010, a news conference was held where Robert Salas, Charles Halt, Robert Hastings, Bruce Fenstermacher, Dwynne Arnesson, Patrick McDonough, Gerome Nelson and Robert Jamison (all retired) give testimony about their UFO encounters while they were on official duty in the US military at nuclear weapons sites. These men all held high ranks and security clearances. They are trusted and educated which makes this conference a little creepy and an interesting watch.
Another interesting new conference had the former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer speaking about full disclosure of governments regarding UFOs and alien life which he claims to have a vast, first-hand experience and knowledge of. He is another believer that aliens could supply the knowledge and technology to stop and possibly reverse the effects of our pollution problem by helping us develop clean energy sources to replace our use of fossil fuels.
Does the fact that Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist has been named the head of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs make you go "hmmm"? Yeah, me too. She is the first Malaysian astrophysicist and credited with creating the curriculum in astrophysics at the Malaysian national university. This world renowned mathematician and astrophysicist, oversaw the development of Planetarium Negara, Malaysia's national planetarium in Kuala Lumpur at the directive of the nation's president. The United Nations claims that this position is regarding space debris, laws between countries regarding independent space exploration and possible catastrophic events such as asteroids approaching Earth. It also makes her the first person to speak to an alien race if one should make it's presence known. Hmmmm ...
There have been retired NORAD officers, British, Mexican, Argentinian, Australian, etc military intelligence officers, numerous highly educated scientists and multiple government officials speaking out in recent months. Could a disclosure of the existence of alien life be coming? Maybe. Nothing is impossible I guess.
There are things that could be sketchy or skeptical. Recently on a CNN broadcast, two young men proved how easy it is to fake a UFO sighting. Add to that how easy it is to manipulate still and video shots and sightings can be called into question very easily. Genius and insanity also border very closely so could all of these people be bordering on insanity and reading too much into vague documents from the 1940s and on? I guess that's possible too.
I suppose one has to decide for themselves what their level of belief is going to be. As for me, I think they're out there but to what extent I actually believe that they're also here, I'm not sure of. I want to believe as much as some people already do believe. Some to the point of wearing their tinfoil helmet and filming every shooting star in the sky while fantasizing about being abducted to the mother ship. Sadly, the belief in UFOs and life off of our planet is ridiculed and sometimes grounds for being committed.
Is it possible that if we were more open to the idea of alien life being an absolute truth that the absolute truth regarding alien life would be confirmed? Maybe.
