UFO sightings bring town to a standstill | the Daily Mail
I agree that it's hard to believe some people still deny the existence of UFOs. But I am still learning about human denial - its depth and methods. No amount of evidence can override willful denial - it doesn't work that way.
If you leave the culture of denial and mass media, and venture into the research done, the witness reports, the overall picture of contact, you are left with a very different field of view.
At any rate, it's important to move out of the 'are they real?' questions and arguments and get to the more interesting ones. What is their nature and purpose?
One thing is clear... they hover and show their lights deliberately. They put on shows to raise awareness of their presence. At the same time, they actively hide - generally discourage clear photographs (although some do exist), remove concrete evidence, etc. The govts cover it up too, but obviously if the UFOs wanted to provide more widespread evidence they could. To me, this is part of an engagement strategy that implies they do not seek to override denial. They don't want to force belief, but merely tickle the awareness. This alone is a sign of mastery.
It is also a great myth that UFOs merely remain in the skies and don't initiate contact with people. Literally millions of people have had such contact, and have reported it, written letters and books about it, and often these involve multiple witness encounters.
In short, they're here. And they always have been. In my view, they (at least one of the groups of them) are responsible for seeding life on this planet.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
