I always found it intriguing that the bible says God created the heavens and the earth, and created man in his own image. That's all fine and dandy. The bible does not make one single mention of earth being the only place where man was created. I always thought it was insanely arrogant for man on this earth to assume he was the one and only "man" an infinite God ever created in an infinite universe. In other words, we may not be able to see their house, but we have neighbors...


I agree. Especially when you look at the amount of versatility in the life on our planet, to the point of hinting that God has a great sense of humor, I too always thought it was extremely egotistical to think that our planet and its inhabitants are the only living, thinking species in the universe.

This discussion is about NASA hiring theologians in order to better understand how disclosure will affect the majority of the world's people.


Why? WHY WHY?
Why does NASA need theologians?
Why is it NASA’s responsibility to understand how disclosure will affect the world. That already tells me they know.
Is NASA part of the church? Is it their responsibility to make sure people don’t freak out?

The truth is NASA and the Church have both known for a long time. For whatever reason now too many people already know and they have to let the cat out of the bag fully.

Did a bit of digging.
Study was done in 2016, so already paid for by NASA. Everything keeps revolving around a Anglican priest from Cambridge University who just wrote a book. Uhhhh-HUH!
Have no idea why all of a sudden 7yrs later this story is "a thing" but guessing it's a slow news week.



Back in 2014, NASA awarded a $1.1 million grant to CTI to examine the interest of worshippers in openness to scientific quest known as the Societal Implications of Astrobiology research.

Interesting for sure. It's possible NASA knows nothing more about these aliens/entities than anyone else does. If the role of NASA has been politicized by the radicals, as everything else has been, then perhaps it's become their job to convince the public that literal aliens from outer space exist. So maybe it's really less about figuring out how to handle it delicately and more about how to persuade enough people into believing it. This possibility leads to dark places.
Yes. It’s also possible they’re the proxy and “toe in the pool” so to speak.

NASA handles all this because:

In other words aliens are from outer space right? Jetsons, Lost In Space, War of the Worlds, Star Wars, Independence Day, etc. but. We all agree….they are from space right?

We’ve been told this forevah-evah.

But. What if they weren’t.

I mean right?

Yes, this could be about ultra-terrestrials. Hardly anyone ever talks about this possibility.
They could be right here on earth hiding under our noses

They would definitely be superior to us in many ways.

Why? Now that is a good question.

Because the existence of aliens challenges the worldviews of nearly everyone on earth. It is one thing to believe aliens are "out there" it is entirely another to disclose contact and have reality change in such a profound way.

Then there's the meat and potatoes of your post. What purpose does religion serve? Maybe not much in your life but in the lives of the vast majority of people on Earth it makes all the difference.

For every religion, barring few, the existence of non-human beings also calls into question the foundational beliefs of particular religious stories. Maybe those stories could need a review in lieu of disclosure. Our identity as a society is shaped very much on thousands of years of religious structures, teachings, and cultural impositions. It is centered around the human identity as the chosen people of God.

Should those aliens have similar ideas of their own, you can bet that friction will build in that direction. War even.

The consequences are enormous for us and as such pretending like an entire aspect of our development is unnecessary isn't going to lead to a correct answer to these questions.

Here's a question for ya:

Why would a space agency whose main purpose is to turn its gaze outwards to the heavens in the pursuit of scientific discovery suddenly redirect its attention on how to handle the people down below from a spiritual context?


Does it fall within their scope of responsibilities to hire religious spin doctors to indoctrinate the masses concerning reality?

This is like if Disneyland were to start hosting the Nobel prize ceremony.

Do we need to soften the blow of truth for the proclaimers of the true truth?


Why indeed? "Why NASA?", for me, is the most important question on this topic.

My thought process immediately jumped to the assumption that this is some type of mass manipulation of public sentiment on the UFO phenomenon, i.e. just another government psychological operation.

Maybe, maybe not.

If one wanted to instill a sense of .... (at least for the general public) ... legitimacy and the appearance of an honest, forthright approach by the government to this subject ... even if the goal was merely about optics and a superficial attempt to make this project LOOK legitimate....then NASA would be a great choice. If you're interested in the appearances of how you reach a conclusion on this subject, rather than the actual conclusion itself, what better group than NASA to loop in.

"Oh. Well, this was a NASA project, so....it must be legit!"

Keeping in mind your point about this project ("what will religious people think if UFOs are E.T. vehicles??") not being in the mission statement/charter of NASA, if one already had a study result in hand, and wanted to lend it credence with the U.S. public. you wouldn't attribute it to some no-name think tank, and you certainly wouldn't put it in front of a Congressional committee.

"Optics" is the answer, for me.

No, its not NASA's responsibility to understand how disclosure will affect the world. However, NASA is a government agency and the government has taken it upon itself to control how and when this kind of information is released, based on the damage it may cause to society.

I read once many years ago that disclosure would only happen after a lengthy period of indoctrination, using the popular media of the time, to ensure that society is not shocked into dissolution. It was also suggested at that time that disclosure should be made by both secular and non-secular sources simultaneously. This implies a concerted effort to control the flow of information from top to bottom. As such, it is highly unlikely that one rogue agency will be the one who breaks the story to the news. The only caveat to that would be an agreement made ahead of time where that one rogue agency gets thrown under the bus for "forcing" the disclosure, removing the responsibility from other agencies who can say they were trying to find a more opportune time to inform the masses without causing a massive breakdown.

This would be yet another in a long line of glorious cases of government creating a disaster only to subsequently protect us from it and laud themselves in the process.

I always thought that people,whom claimed to see UF0’s,were looking for attention. Then around a decade ago;I was in DeLand Florida. I saw a cigar shaped UFO & it was enormous. Less than a minute later I heard and saw a few jets. They looked to be a thousand times smaller than this cigar shaped craft.Then this craft disappeared,but it actually didn’t. It appeared to reflect the surrounding clouds onto itself. It was like the movie Terminator!a reply to: slatesteam

It would be a waste not to fill the universe with all forms of life. Large, small, visible, invisible, smart, dumb, etc.. God made them all, and then some we have yet to imagine.

Surprised they have not used it as a reason to mandate the vaccines.

We all know what happens when humans travel to areas for the first time. We bring those microrganisms, that make those we encounter for the first time, sick or we kill them.

Maybe that is a bit too much for the masses to handle.

It was a neat idea for the ending of the "War Of The Worlds. As long as it was the aliens dying.

Now if it was us dying from exposure to the aliens, I could envision a huge mass panic.


What if the COVID-19 vaccines are really to protect us from the aliens THEY know are coming soon?

Then, all the discrepancies and inconsistencies in their "science," could make sense. THEY would have to try anything and everything to get us all vax'ed before the aliens get here with all their cooties. It would explain why the vaccines don't seem to really do what THEY say they do (or much of anything, really). Maybe they only work on the real alien bugs and not the plandemic kind?

Whatever you can imagine, it likely exists. The universe it so huge, every life we can imagine can be "out there" and none of us ever see each other due to the vast distances.

And, unless we find a way to see and communicate in "real time", what life we do see evidence of by peering across the galaxy, could have long been extinct.

Quite a while back, around 2009 or so, someone had taken a video of an object in the sky, that did exactly that same thing.

It was completely invisible except from the right angles. It was clear that the UFO only looked like it disappeared because it was reflecting light and had just become a giant mirror in the sky.

I have not been able to find that video anywhere, for a long time now.

The reality of aliens and ufos are two different things. A ufo only infers alien or ET. There is no evidence of any ETs though certainly credible evidence of Ufos.

Other than so-called alien abduction testimony, which is fine for one to believe it if you wish, but is no credible evidence of aliens other than abduction testimony, which is as credible as religious testimony.

Personally, I never believed any admission that Ufos are legitimate would lead to a mass panic, nor admission that aliens are real (though I don’t think the government can make such an admission, since I don’t think they know).

If hypothetically aliens came down to the white house lawn and gave a speech, it would be big news for a while but soon it would become mundane and any aliens we would become quickly use to them and soon the novelty would wear off and unless they unleashed some kind of universal mass something or other, they would become a part of the woodwork.
No big thing.

UNLESS, the so-called aliens, some of them at least, are the archangels who come to do apocalypse time--then all bets are off!

Of course, if they are they would act just as they are acting, surreptitiously.

Optics is the right answer for me too.


First they broke the news via msm, during a plandemic. People barely reacted because real life was confusing enough.

Psychologically speaking you would want to tell your dad you broke a window after he received a divorce letter through moms attorney.

He can give it some attention but his attention is already elsewhere.

Remember how the democrats mysteriously complained how Trumps presidency put them 4 years behind schedule?

Looking at how Biden and the elite carries on it is hardly because of climate change.


I believe they are expecting something big is going to happen and they need to ease us into that eventuality with a mixture of lies and some soft truths.


I know this sounds crazy, and I don't believe it myself, but if Nibiru somehow exists and does visit from time to time over thousands or millions of years it would actually tie up a lot of loose ends.


We could track it with the Webb telescope.

We've been told ufos exist and the government does not believe they are terrestrial.

We all might die because climate change upheaval.

We've proven the economy can carry on even while most of us stayed at home...

We've proven that some of us are still trusting authority too willingly that we'll inject anything into our bodies without questions and turn against our fellow man.

Digital news communications worldwide have shown how they can simply feed the people the vaccine narrative, credibility be damned.

Investigative journalism has died for the most part or has been successfully sidelined and finds refuge with opinion talk shows.

Billionaires are taking the first steps into outer space.

99% of people do not grow their own food.

Governments are openly giving their people the middle finger with strong arm tactics like we haven't seen since WW2.

The strongest country in the world are destroying themselves from the inside out.


This is definitely the moment you want to tell dad that you broke a window, with 24 pastors standing behind you for backup.


They have used shock tactics to create a split personality within society itself.


We won't own anything and we will have no privacy.

Facebook wants to sell you a fake reality in exchange for this one.


It's all happening at once after decades of softly conditioning us through movies, scientists speculation, religion pondering the possibility of first contact etc.


Something big this way comes.

Exactly. If God created the heavens and the earth, then created man on that earth...what is the rest of it for? What is the purpose of billions of galaxies so far away we cant see them and likely never will? That seems like an awful lot of work just to put some pretty images in space telescopes for us to gaze at.
