They Want to be Seen, Not Discovered |
reganlee writes "One of the cliché questions some of us ask, regarding aliens and their flying saucers, is why don’t they land on the White House lawn? Critics of all things UFO point to the fact that thousands of witnesses report seeing lights in the sky.
If, these critics point out, the UFO occupants don’t want to be seen, then why are they zooming around up there with fantastic light displays? Isn’t that a bit obvious? It is obvious. Way too obvious. That seems to be the point. The aliens and their ships want to be seen; they just don’t want to be discovered. Either intentionally or not, their antics all around us are well known.
We see them and hear of them every day from reports made all over the world. But these aliens (and whether they’re from outer space or somewhere else is in question) don’t seem to give a damn if we see them or not. They may even enjoy driving us crazy, who knows. That may be part of the game. Beings with technology that allows them to do what they do, that are more intelligent in many ways than we (in certain respects, and I’m not including a spiritual superiority) surely know enough to “land on the White House lawn” if they want to. But they don’t want to. They’ll buzz over the White House. They’ll cause confusion at nuclear facilities. And do we have to mention alien abductions? Between all that and the lights, triangles, orbs, spheres, blinking in and out craft, psychic communications with “them,” and a whole long list of weirdness, they continue to create great debate and divisions between witnesses and experiencers, (the “folk”) and the institutions of society that continue to deny and debunk (academia, science, government, media.)
As long as we argue amongst ourselves from our various camps about such minutia as what the term UFO “really” means, behave in disingenuous ways, as the scofftoid crowd does so neatly (insisting that the term UFO “really” means, in pop culture usage, ET in a saucer, and so on), fights among UFO researchers (who have the ability to act like the insulting whiny babies they can be,) expect the government to release all its UFO info to the public, as with the Disclosure movement, “they” don’t have a thing to worry about. No one’s discovered them. Oh, okay, there’re probably a few frozen bodies in hangars here and there -- and even a live one or two -- but who cares? Because none of us here, out in the public (us lowly folk) knows for a fact, and so we remain powerless in the scheme of things. This is why the phenomenon is personal. Highly, intensely, intimately personal. No doubt it’s all wrapped up with bewildering entanglements that include interactions with other dimensions, metaphysics, psychology, technology, spiritually, biology -- to list a few. We can only try to get at this phenomena from the individual human to “them.”
This idea drives all the scofftoids crazy, as it’s seen as a huge woo cop-out. It also drives a lot of UFO researchers crazy for the same reasons. It’s likely some of those within the institutions are aware of this, and help to keep it this way. As long as we, out here, fight amongst ourselves concerning flying saucers, we remain distracted, and don’t tell our own stories. Even for many of us that do tell our own stories, some of us find ourselves defending ourselves against being called liars, hoaxers, nut cases, kooks, mentally ill -- you know the drill. Still, it seems that telling our stories, no matter how different they may be from another's (or how similar) no matter how utterly unbelievable or confusing, is the way to go. UFOs, flying saucers, spaceships, aliens, extraterrestrials, have been playing an elaborate game with humans for thousands of years. “They” would have announced themselves to the world -- all of it -- if they had wanted too, a long time ago. For whatever reason, they prefer doing things covertly, even if it’s out in the open. While that last statement may sound contradictory, in the world of trickster and ufos, it’s perfectly reasonable. Half the human race gets this, the other half doesn’t. And that seems to be their objective, or at least part of it. So far, they’re winning. It’s possible “they” want to be discovered on their own terms, and in very personal ways. Being seen is one thing, being known is another."
