Why the Golden Age of "UFOs" Ended

a reply to: mirageman

Flatwoods monster.

Floaty, gassy, half mechanical with big claws and eyes and a collar like a big ace of spades.

Definitely Golden Age!

Ah yes, my bad.

So high strangeness it is probably OD strangeness.

I thought that was the robot, flying goblin KPB was talking about.
That thing was supposed to have floated around in a nasty fog.
They said it looked like it was in some kind of machine like bottom half (I always imagine Davros from the Daleks), big claws and was quite scary by all accounts.

Multiple witnesses too.
Grown ups and kids saw a light come down behind some trees in a field at the end of their road and found the thing there with its ship.

They ran when it approached them but there were others who might've seen the same thing in the area later on but I don't know how long it stayed around.
Strange indeed.

I think that the three most relevant things to discuss in "UFOlogy" these days are:

1) Which groups have been pushing to make "aliens" a global religion.

2) What was up with those golden age cases, and HAS their incidence been blocked with EM (or something else) and has this been purposeful or accidental?

3) What are BTUFO? They are in a league of their own. Are they just props to assist with rolling out the one world religion? Or something else.

If we let ourselves get distracted from these core realities, IMHO, the deceivers running the show will keep us engaged in pointless activity.

Yeah. I only brought up flatwoods because I was trying to see what might've fit with the robot goblins you mentioned.
Mirage beat me to it with Hopkinsville.

They don't make em like they used to.

a reply to: Tulpa

I think that they still do.

But we have so blanketed our planet with EM pollution, that whatever was trying to communicate with us has been browned out. (and replaced with disinfo).

My opinion.

I know That I'm night and day different when I'm in a remote nature area. Of course there are multiple reasons for that.

Mentioning religion there is an entity that fits very well that predates a lot of religions. The Djinn.

I'm not sure how you feel about religion but they have been influencial in terms of human history in the religious sense.

Lets say tptb are in league with something evil, the last thing they'd ever want us to know is the truth. Which apparantly would be that djinn are devious free-willed critters made by god. Neither good nor bad just like humans but they had access to the divine arts. God forbids us from learning these arts apparantly. Apparantly god cursed the djinn till they make their "peace" with us so I guess from that perspective, if they are god fearing they wouldn't want us being so smart.

Their is a lot more to the djinn, just thought it worth mentioning.

Always fascinated me the djinns, even from a sci-fi point of view it's a hardly tapped oil well.

"Yoga" can take you every bit as far as "divine plants".

Maybe the golden ufo age served its purpose. The UFO trail can lead us eventually to looking at consciousness. Maybe that was its purpose all along. Now that is a vast unexplored area not for the timid. A place where we might bump into...well who knows.

a reply to: DaveBowman

Not a bad concept Dave.

But "UFOs" have driven millions of people bat # crazy.

I'm not convinced there is anything positive about them.

I have posted about "djinn" in the past.

I'm also on good terms with a famous author who writes about Djinn.

Its a complex and nuanced topic.

Putting the nuts and bolts saucers aside as artifacts of; Cold War, those great 1950-60 sci-fi movies, start of the space age. As you ounce said everytime we look at UFOs we find intelligence agency's finger prints all over it.

I do think we sometimes bump into phenomenon on a consciousness level. I know I have.

A friend much more into this than me believes we are co-creators of our experiences. Anyway I do take WOO seriously enough I'm very careful what I open myself to or invite in.

It makes you wonder if the activity has slowed down or if new kinds of technology is being used.

I'm always up for discussing this topic. If anyone has new
data or observations.

It depends on how you define the “golden age”. If that’s defined as more physical (not electronic) documents, declassified files, people coming forward that yes - I’d say it’s over. In my mind, it ended with Gary McKinnon and Greers efforts at the national press club. That was your peak.

Since then, three letter agencies have materially enhanced their surveillance and COINTEL capabilities. Most everything has gone digital and can be easily controlled or deleted. The PsyOp against UFOs is 70 years long and counting. Scotty-FI as a genre has taken a big hit. Pop-culture isn’t interested in science or questioning the government/legitimately digging in. Remember, anything that doesn’t fit the official narrative is a “conspiracy theory” but you won’t see any logical, well informed person going on TV and laying out their case - last one was Biggelow and guess what? Aside from
His 60 minutes interview all of his other lectures have been wiped from the net - and those were the good ones.

As for “sightings”, we have more reports today than ever. We also have amateur hoaxsters, things that aren’t clear in photos, and more - so the truth is fairly watered down. We also still get really “creative” swamp-gas-like explanations when something does seem legit. Recall, you don’t need 10,000 cases of things we “couldn’t explain”. One solitary case says there’s something potentially there and shouldn’t be discounted - and we have a lot more than one of those instances.

The “Golden Age” may be over in some ways but the search is not. Researches need to upgrade their tech, test new theories, explore things from a different point of view and ultimately leverage AI to connect dots we haven’t connected.

Like any other field, UFOlogists and their debunkers are dogmatic and stuck. Need some fresh ideas and reopened minds if we want to usher in a new, productive era of UFO research.

Maybe a question for the thread... what do we define as “golden age” and when was the “peak”?

It's been my theory for some time, that humans will not formally meet the 2 space-faring races in the Universe until we heal our fractured psyche on Earth, and act as "one people".

That's the limiting factor.

I agree with this.

I get slammed for supporting a Global World — but, this is one of the main reasons. I believe we need to unite as a planet before “official” contact.

I honestly believe there is a type of Federation of Planets — “politics is everywhere”.

I do think we are being monitored. And I think observers have been pulled back because of our newer technology in discovering them.

I believe in physical, multi-dimensional, and energy consciousness.

Currently, unless there’s proven contact — what more can be said.

It’s kinda like being on hold. Which lacks excitement.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I were an alien from wherever, I wouldn't want to go anywhere near a violent, ignorant, specious that murders its own woman and children, starves the weak, loves the rich and is perceptively deaf, dumb, and blind. Produces and guard weapons that can destroy half the solar system and all life on earth and do nothing to rectify these horrible circumstances and traits.

And then has the unmitigated balls to strut around thinking their God's gift on earth.

If anything, humans are God's curse on earth!

back in the day there was a spirit of anticipation. the aliens (or whatever) were scouting us and would eventually land and communicate.

they never did and we got tired of waiting.

and the novelty of metallic discs on grainy photos is gone with the advent of photo effects.

a reply to: ElGoobero

According to Steven Greer, and abductees they do communicate.

So when we get slammed by the universe I hope it understands we're not all f____ed up!
