Mad Men, Aliens & Exopolitics

Many humans have worked for the Military on top secret projects. That’s a fact. A subset of this group has allegedly worked with alien entities such as the greys. That’s not necessarily a fact and yet some of these people, with dubious CVs and $12 hair cuts, are quite happy to announce their anecdotal sci-fi channel tales from the comfort of a leatherette armchair, or hidden only by sunglasses whilst standing in a deserted field.

Are these people exhibiting early stage schizophrenia? Are they exhibitionists? Amateur Gurus perhaps? … Or do these UFO spruikers genuinely want to share real knowledge with ignorant humanity?

All this is absolute hokum, right?

We’re talking ; reverse-engineering of flying saucers, mind-linking, thought-control, advanced genetic experimentation and more specifically, head to head meetings with grey aliens (known as grays) sporting advanced technology.

Without a mote of evidence, anybody could make this up. Who could prove you wrong?

We chattering monkeys thrive on tall tales. Indeed, we may even be perceived (by an alien race) as a conglomerate of 7 billion story-telling monkeys. If Hollywood and Who Magazine are anything to go by, we’re prepared to lie even if it costs many millions of dollars. And we’ll happily do it – even without a profit motive.

People need to know this stuff and it’s our duty to tell the human race what’s really going on.

Who in their right minds would make up a story about face to face, non-verbal alien communication or side by side genetic manipulation in Area 51 and release it to the world non-exclusively and completely for free? Why is YouTube bursting with alien contactees?

Is any story true?

Some are so unbelievable that they become … believable again. These men and women are brave to say the very least.

What’s really weird, fascinating and incredibly attractive to me, is that these stories – assuming the tellers don’t know each other – on the whole, tie together remarkably well. They all link up rather nicely into an almost seamless patchwork story of human / alien interplay. It’s mind-bogglingly woven.

The internet.

True. We do have the internet. They may be reading each other on a daily basis. After Barney and Betty Hills’ very public abduction in 1963, the market opened up to wannabe abductees who loved the idea of getting their picture in the paper. Today the rumour-mill spins at light speed. Truth is but a complex game of Chinese Whispers.

It’s just that – none of these people seem particularly mad – or even skilful when it comes to telling stories. Their tales are made all the more attractive by a kind of clumsy realism and notable lack of fanfare or superlative. These mad people sound pretty genuine. And there doesn’t seem to be any real reason why they might tell super-sized fibs.

If you really want to knock yourself out with this stuff, you can also check these links to some not-so-mad pioneers – perhaps…

I can’t promise you won’t have nightmares after hearing some of this stuff. ;)

Where does this admirer of train-wrecked personalities sit? Where there’s smoke … is what I say.

The people who work at Area 51 had better be doing something at least as interesting as talking to greys or back-engineering flying saucers. If they aren’t, then the whole UFO thing amounts to a weird kind of religion, without which we probably can’t imagine ourselves playing our small part in the greater whole that is reality alpha. Universe one.

How would life on Earth be without such brazen individuals? Just a little more boring is my answer.

I’m going to give Michio the last bit of airplay. I’m pretty sure there’s a UFO hovering in the sky outside my bedroom window right now and it’s putting on an unbelievably good show – pretending to be a Cessna Skyhawk 172 – engine noise, lights and all.

I’m no fool.
