I explained in a response to another thread that I have been quietly doing some personal interest research in UFOs for a few years, and there is
something quite alarming that I have seen far too often. Although the number of contacts I have made directly (one-on-one) are statistical
insignificant, the ratio of those who report some degree of threat and/or intimidation by governmental, military, or other authoritative personnel is
appalling. Of course, there is always the possibility that some or even most of these individuals are stretching the truth or simply manipulating more
mundane facts for a myriad of potential reasons, but wouldn't it still hold true that if even one were to be telling the truth that would be one too
many? Of course I will respect anonymity to anyone who has discussed their stories with me, and I should mention that I have not experienced the
problem myself. But does anyone know where the trigger lies? How far can one delve before becoming a real or perceived problem child for someone with
the wherewithal to create such a barrier? Or is it all nonsense?
This leads me to the question I am posting. Have you or someone you know to be reliable and trustworthy ever had interactions that could or should be
construed as abuse of power, intimidation, threats, etc from the aforementioned "authoritative" figures? I suppose I might want to recommend that
if it did happen to you personally and feel compelled to respond, refer to the situation as third person but somehow let us know it actually happened
and is not conjecture. Do not place you or loved ones in harm's way, but if you have a story to tell hopefully you will be able to share.
Finally, is it possible or what would the logistics look like for ATS or fellow members to create a more complete proactive layer of protection for
members who brave the waters to warn, discuss, or inform us regarding sensitive issues? Can we perform a service that would make it possible for those
wishing to provide critical information without fear of retribution from TPTB? On the surface, this is quite daunting, but somewhere in good
conscience doesn't it become something of a moral imperative or, at a minimum, a project worth the undertaking for the betterment of all?
Thanks for any input, and hopefully we can all learn something here.
