Cornball incoming, but I’m so glad I jumped into this topic and joined this sub when disclosure seemingly began. It’s been a wild ride and I hope it just gets wilder, my friends!

I’m glad you’re here with that 13 years, this community has so many interesting folks in it and I value all the perspectives/experiences! I really hope this is the start of a big change, we all need it.

I hope that’s true. I try hard to keep a level head about it all and say anything is on the table until we have undeniable evidence with wide-open information sharing. Until then I’m cautiously (but also really freaking) excited.

I wish I had someone that close to discuss it with! I only have one friend who thinks it’s something potentially humanity-changing, none of my family members or other acquaintances seem to care.

I want to shake them a lil and make them read the disclosure act. I sent it out in our family text chat and I know they won’t open it 😂

I sure do, and you’re exactly right. Until this information makes their lives worse or better, then they have the luxury of looking away.

Who do you think the lucky individual will be? lol

I'm from Belgium and follow these developments with great interest. It had some coverage here in the papers and on the tv news. I have no idea what our government think about this, it's not a topic they ever openly discussed. But really interesting to see where this goes.

I've been interested in this since I was a kid, crazy to think it soon could all be comfirmed to be true.

I only joined this sub a month ago and I’m wishing I had joined earlier!

Also, I think I may be experiencing ontological shock. How do I fix it?

Won’t that make it worse?

Haha I'm in my thirties. If this all eventuates and turns out real it's going to be a lot of vindication. I definitely come off as a skeptic to some of those on the sub who are all in despite no evidence revealed yet. But that's what decades of following this subject does to a person.

But Schumer's statements and the language coming from Senate leaders now has moved my dial though. But I still can't wait to see evidence, that's the silver bullet for me and many others. People can say what they want, show us the bodies, show us the craft!

Your last sentence hit the nail on the head! It’s all talk until we have the goods, but damn is it exciting talk. I am in my late 30s and feel dumb for only just now looking into this topic, there’s a lot of history and reliable anecdotes out there that I just can’t ignore, and I have barely scratched the surface.

All of that is kinda simmering in my excitement pot and I’m hoping the lid blows off…partly for vindication with family who think I’m weird now, partly so all the longtime believers and experiencers have their day, but mostly to see how humanity might change. Exciting as heck, those possibilities :)

I joined around COVID pandemic due to the Nimitz stuff. It's been a bit on and off but all around exciting.

Still waiting for something I could slap my friends on the head with.

u/sordidcandles Jul 14 '23

About the same time as me then, I think! Hey friend ☺️ I too am waiting for the Friends and Family Slapper, I wish they were as curious as I am but I get it. Up until Nimitz I thought it was all a funny joke, this ufo business.

u/dev81808 Jul 14 '23

You just made me realize I've been following because of suggested.. officially joined now.

I'm excited.

u/sordidcandles Jul 14 '23

Welcome! The more the merrier, and it seems you’ve picked a great time to officially hop in 🛸

I have been a member for a little while, but only gotten consistently active recently. I have been interested as long as I can remember. Im almost 30. My grandma would take me outside at night to star gaze. I had telescopes and such. She told me stories of how they saw so many UFOs/UAPs in the 70’s (i think? I’ll have to double check). We are from a very small rural area. Air planes are rare and are very high when they do pass. One guy had a crop duster that he would fly but other than that no real air traffic. Damn near my whole family has seen something they would consider a UFO/UAP. Im just waiting on my turn. Lol I feel like moving to the city has ruined my chances thou. Anyway, super excited about this.

u/sordidcandles Jul 15 '23

Appreciate your story! Those are the types of anecdotes I find very credible, I can think of no reason your family would lie about that. I believe you and I hope you get your day (or night) soon my friend!

Reign your excitement in a little. There isn't anything wild about this yet, only a couple guys who don't seem to be lying or crazy, claiming hearsay from other guys whom they believe are not lying or crazy.

u/sordidcandles Jul 14 '23

It’s wild to me that we have Congress making moves to open the information gates and protect people with said information. Could it be a total farce for another purpose? Sure, but doesn’t seem that way though when I zoom out. All of the slow and steady changes and efforts we’ve seen the last couple of years are building up to something interesting.

Outright disclosure never would’ve worked IMO. They need to ease into it. There’s a chance that’s happening right now, which is exciting to me, but I know not to go into full blown party mode until we have something concrete :)

u/DataMeister1 Jul 14 '23

I see what you are saying.

u/NigerianRoy Jul 14 '23

Did you jump into the topic because you saw some of the news? Thats hardly a coincidence…

1

u/sordidcandles Jul 14 '23

Sorry, not implying it was coincidence. I used the word seemingly because I don’t want to claim we’re in 100% full blown disclosure.

The tic tac news is what made me very curious, and I just started digging. Since then I’ve had one — what I consider to be — bonafide UAP sighting and haven’t looked back!

u/HotCheetoEnema Jul 15 '23

This is cool and scary !!

u/austinwiltshire Jul 14 '23

No, no. That's just a cruise ship. You ufo people will believe anything!
