"Aliens are abducting humans and using them for experiments. And there is nothing we can do about it."
There's nothing our government can do about it because these "abductions" are mind tricks leading the abductee to believe that they are real, when they are really illusions created by spiritual beings.
explains a lot.
tons of sightings, no good recordings/pix, no hard evidence after 50+ years.
John Keel speculated in 'Mothman Prophecies' that all this saucer / abductee phenomena was otherworldly beings ('nonhumans') toying with us for reasons of their own.
substitute 'unknown hostile nonhuman metabeings' for 'demons'. same principle.

I agree with you. There was a time, years ago, when this forum was fun. I hate the word "community" but for a while it was. Yes, there were always the PITA and one constantly dealt with mods when trying to shake off the fleas. My idea of a forum is for clear-headed thinkers and not allow believers 'cause they taint logical discussions. Only problem with that fantasy is that the membership would be small and we would get bored fast 'cause UFOlogy is down by the gutter. Nothing exciting is happening and the threads menu here proves it.

too much 'yer quoting this guy and he's an idiot so yer an idiot too blah blah' would be nice to discuss without all the name calling and snarkasm.
and some people use every opportunity for bashing people of faith.

I'm just saying that these spiritual beings have a way of manifesting in and out of the physical world, but I don't believe anyone has ever touched or captured one.
Why not?
I put together a list for you.
Alleged Crash site - Possible body count:
snip - and well deserved!
That seems like a lot but there may be more. Like in 1978, a saucer supposedly crashed into a Soviet fighter plane and fell into the sea off Finland. A Soviet slavage team recovered it and found bodies inside.

If you want to accept the official version that we are all alone in the universe and ignore all the evidence that there is more to this picture than we are being told, you can.
You are imagining an official version. The rest of us use logic and common sense, and the religious have their beliefs. But there is no evidence. UAP are not evidence of alleged aliens.

Pope is one of the worst sources to quote. He was lucky to hold a cushy job where he received sightings reports and he filed them. He didn't produce a product and he really doesn't know any more than you and I. Besides, when you hear him speak he gives himself away as a devout believer. Skepticism is far from his belief system. That's why Ancient Aliens love him and Richard Dolan, his twin.

So, you're telling us that your common sense tells you that UAP aren't controlled by any kind of intelligence?! Shouldn't common sense be telling you that when these UAP's react and interact with naval pilots that they are?
No, I didn't say any such thing, you made that up. I have said over and over that we have no evidence of who or what controls the UAP. It could be beings that we cannot imagine, it could be robots, the UAP could be remote operated, etc. I cannot say anything concrete 'cause I just don't know, no one does. The fact that Navy pilots interact (not really) with UAP means nothing as far as anyone or anything controlling the UAP.
Some of your thoughts on this subject appear to be a little conflicting to me.
This is the way it should be, it's normal. You don't know me and the way I express myself here is "alien" to your way of thinking. Even my life partner of 48 years has the same problem because we're 2 different people. She was brought up believe and I wasn't. Conflict.
After reading some of your previous posts, I noticed that you claim to have had one or two "extra ordinary" experiences of your own. Did you interact with something during these experiences? Or do you think your subconscious mind created everything in this experience on it's own?
I've had 5 or 6 extraordinary sightings all above illusions, etc. I could take them to the bank. I was able to videotape one and I showed the screen grab in another thread. I had no interaction with anything and no MIB ever visited me since they've never existed. My subconscious doesn't create anything, my conscious mind (or me) does. Good talking to you.

It seems that your post is the one that has no common sense or logic in it.
"Insulting" to who? I asked another poster "Why", since he did not believe anyone had ever touched another body when there are so many "alleged" bodies that have been found.
Your own "Alleged" obviously does not match up with the historical "Alleged".
So you are just making up your own facts.
That is as I said an "Alleged" list of crashes in modern history.
I did not make up the list, only compiled it form several known list.
If you want to believe Roswell or any of these others never happened and everyone is lying then that is your problem.
But do not act like history is not aware of at least some of them.
snip
ALL of these "Alleged" crashes are known to UFO researchers.
I have already seen their craft in person, only hundreds of yards away, so I do not need anyone else's "facts" to know they exist and are not man made ~ therefor Alien.
If I was the only one to have seen these things then you would have an issue, but I am not. They exist and for you to think they have never crashed even once means you must think they are something special. And without bodies in them you must think these machines are piloting themselves. Or you must think they do not exist at all, which once again means you think everyone is lying. Which once again, is your problem, not ours.

UAP are not evidence of alleged aliens.
Not only are UAP evidence of aliens but the term UAP itself is evidence of the military cover-up.
The military invented the term "UFO" to steer away from the term "Flying Saucer", which was definitely referring to "Alien".
As the term "UFO" merged into meaning "Alien", the military had to come up with a different term to cover their involvement.
Anyone searching military records for "UFO" would not find all of what they were looking for unless they used the new official term "UAP".
Terminology
The term "UFO" (or "UFOB") was coined in 1953 by the United States Air Force (USAF) to serve as a catch-all for all such reports. In its initial definition, the USAF stated that a "UFOB" was "any airborne object which by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to any presently known aircraft or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object." Accordingly, the term was initially restricted to that fraction of cases which remained unidentified after investigation, as the USAF was interested in potential national security reasons and "technical aspects" (see Air Force Regulation 200-2).
During the late 1940s and through the 1950s, UFOs were often referred to popularly as "flying saucers" or "flying discs". The term UFO became more widespread during the 1950s, at first in technical literature, but later in popular use. UFOs garnered considerable interest during the Cold War, an era associated with a heightened concern for national security, and, more recently, in the 2010s, for unexplained reasons.[1][2] Nevertheless, various studies have concluded that the phenomenon does not represent a threat to national security, nor does it contain anything worthy of scientific pursuit (e.g., 1951 Flying Saucer Working Party, 1953 CIA Robertson Panel, USAF Project Blue Book, Condon Committee).
The Oxford English Dictionary defines a UFO as "An unidentified flying object; a 'flying saucer'." The first published book to use the word was authored by Donald E. Keyhoe.
Of course, skepticism is far from his belief system! Skepticism only exists in those who either have not seen real UFOs or have seen an overwhelming amount of convincing evidence, as Pope has.

Skepticism is only the state of the ignorant. It is NOT a virtue that is needed by those who have seen sufficiently strong evidence of UFOs.
The trouble with those who preach the virtues of skepticism and demand it from investigators of UFOs is that they don't really believe anyone can have sufficient proof of UFOs, and so they think EVERYONE should be skeptical because they don't believe there can ever be proof of something which they don't believe exists.

It should be noted that Nick Pope, whom this thread is about, found zero evidence of UFO or UAP or aliens or whatever they're called today while working for the MOD.
