The most enduring mystery of the last 100 years has been the phenomenon of what appear to be ships or craft in the sky which completely defy gravity. Along with sightings of these craft, there emerged other phenomena including the idea of aliens from other galaxies as well as people being taken aboard these ships and meeting the extraterrestrials in what can be called abductions. Everyone in the western world knows about Unidentified Flying Objects and what they get up to. But is there another way to approach the whole topic that makes it something more than just wondering about visitors from other planets? It’s time to take a different perspective on the whole mystery.

- More of my thoughts are explored in a Podcast appearance I had with Luxa Strata on Lux Occult Podcast. Listen up! This is one of my favourite podcast appearances
To go along with this episode, I produced a 90 minute follow up episode on my Patreon. It’s chock full of more of my perspectives regarding Conspiracy, Military craft, the current Disclosure season and a tad of Abductions.
I am so glad that other explanations besides the “nuts and bolts” theories are being expressed. Personally, I believe most of the stories of Bigfoot, Mothman, greys and blond aliens, fairies, are all versions of the same tricksters, supernatural entities that cross over from other dimensions to mess with humans.

It’s certainly a better theory than spacecraft from elsewhere, that’s for darn sure! 😊

It sounds like dissociation…..what do you think? (Referring to the cinema thing you described). It’s a defense mechanism that the brain does to lessen the trauma. Perhaps this is the scientific definition for something psychic that is happening. I believe psychic phenomena is scientific , we just don’t know it yet. Someone who dissociates too much, to the point where they avoid their reality, would then have a disorder. Otherwise, I think it’s a pretty common mechanism of defense.

Perhaps. But Trauma is the word. There was nothing traumatic about the experience. Just odd and otherworldly.
