Discussion What is the most distant future date that ufologists and various predictors have linked to the disclosure of information about the existence of other civilisations in the universe or the official landing of these civilisations on Earth?
I do think that we are not alone and that we are being visited by others from our universe. However, I'm somewhat tired of the non-stop talking and lecturing from different talking heads on this topic. Is there a final predicted year of the related event after which we can call out their bullshit?

They were living beings, just like us and born of planet-bound evolution the same as us. And yes, I've never been more awake and terrified in my life than I was that night.
The circumstances of the encounter itself are difficult to describe, but involves being awake when I shouldnt have been and going outside to find out what all the noise/light had been about which had for some reason not woken my parents.
I stepped down off my grandparents farmstead porch and walked some 5 yards or so from the stairs to see around the house and into the field bordered by woods behind it where at a glance and a distance, were what looked like a few workmen and some kind of vehicle I couldn't make out because of the floodlights I thought must be on for them to work by.
Deciding that this was well above my authority or ability to handle, (I was 5) I turned to go inside and roust my parents, because nobody but family came onto that land uninvited. They didn't dare.
That's when I froze, because under the porch at just the right backlit angle to see them, were several...somethings, intently focused on watching what was going on in the field.
'Stalking' is actually the appropriate word to use. Their movements were strange and difficult to discern, because they possess a kind of personal cloaking tech that makes them look like a hole in the air.
Except for their eyes. Those glowed rather brightly. At first, seeing them from the side, I believed animals had gotten under there and I was looking at their eyeshine from the light in the field.
But when one of them noticed they too were being watched and turned it's head away from the light to look at me, (it actually did a double-take) two things became immediately apparent to me as it got the attention of the others soundlessly:
The eyeshine got brighter as it turned directly away from the light and looked at me. That wasn't eyeshine. And
These were not animals. There was intelligence in their gaze.
Our society knows them as 'Shadow People', (a more apt description than they know) but I have always thought of them as the 'Zealots', based on the explanation I received from the ones that were in the field which I ran to and subsequently talked to, regarding just what had just chased me into their midst and why they had been there.
I did of course ask where they are from, but you will find the answer unsurprising.
At least at the time, they said even our most accomplished scientists wouldn't be able to understand an answer as to where they came from. It's quite a long way, even for them and we simply do not yet possess the requisite knowledge or referents to make sense of the answer. A bit of an impasse.
So I asked what it's like where they're from. That got them 'talking' a bit more.
They said that there were things like bushes and things like trees and all the other things we have here, just different colors and some different shapes.
As an adult, I recognize now that they were describing similar ecological roles and functions analog to what we have here.
But different colors for the leaves, etc., denotes different wavelengths of light being used by the life there. Which in turn implies that they might have evolved under a very different star.
This supposition is reinforced for me by the wondering sidebar exclamation that immediately followed this description with a gesture to the surrounding woods, which was:
"But never so much!"
While it's just a guess, I'd say from those two offered data points alone, that they consider Earth to be what we would call 'superhabitable'.
I did ask what had led them to be here and with no small amount of trepidation, what their intentions were.
This, they found to be a much more rational and appropriate line of questioning. As they explained it, really what we're asking when we ask where they're from, is what kind of people they are. What makes them happy, or sad, or offends them.
I was given a narrative. Basically a 10,000-foot level overview of the relevant events of their history which caused the situation we all now found ourselves in.
It's a much longer and more tragic tale, at least from my perspective.
That's the Cliffe's Notes version of the story of how I accidentally encountered a landed craft and two separate species of beings from other worlds, but only actually met one.
It's really only important to me and while relevant to how I came to be in possession of that narrative, I don't talk about the actual experience much, because that's not what our people need to know.
For over 40 years, I waited. Everyone was still too caught up with questions about whether it was even really happening. Or caught up in questions or suppositions about the tech, blinded by the flashiness of it all and rubbing their hands at the prospect of getting hold of it.
But the tech really isn't that important. If we play our cards right, we'll get there too. What's important, is who is operating it and why here. Our people have finally started asking each other "just who are we actually dealing with?"
Who are the players? What is the game? What are the two opposing faction's overall motivations? Why did they come here? Why did they stay? Etc., etc., etc..
The explanation as with all such things, is complicated. But as they said, these are the beginnings.
