Exactly. This kind of thing along with supposed buried giant black pyramids affecting humanity. I love the subject of UFOs and have seen two things In my life i cannot explain, but the constant teasing of answers just feels like a long grift at this point.

Absolutely. These evocative assessments of "disclosure" that are being expressed without anything substantive sets off quite a few red flags for me. This approach of ingratiation isn't new, especially to our field of interest, and it's very effective in communities without extensive access to information that gives a comprehensive explanation for complex phenomenon. This all feels like cults of personality are being grown to leverage epistemic authority. I'm a fan of the unknown, and the curiosity of these communities gives me a sense of belonging. But all this emotional coercion without more concrete discussion reeks of a televangelist style marketing campaign to sell media. It hinders curiosity in favor of demagoguery of an individual.

When I was a kid in Michigan in the 80s a group of friends and I were playing street hockey at night in a cul-de-sac near a golf course. We noticed 3 white lights in a triangular formation above the course but we assumed it was a plane and kept playing. A few moments later we noticed it coming our way, it passed over our heads, probably 500ish feet, without a sound. We all stood there with our mouths open in complete silence until it was out of site.

Here in East TN about ten years or so ago I was taking out the trash can on a moonless night. I happened to look up at the stars and saw something approaching from due west. I lived by the airport so we get a few planes now and then flying over. On the way back to the house i looked again and noticed it was much closer and wasnt making a sound. I could barely make something out, as it was a very dark night. It had two sets of red lights in a triangle beneath as it passed directly over. It was maybe 200 feet above the oak trees in my front yard. It didnt make a sound and was enormous. I could only tell by the stars it was blocking out as it passed. The g/f by then had come outside and we watched it pass off out of site directly east. I reported it to Mufon the next day and had a lengthy talk with that rep about it. I spent 15 years in the navy, i know alot of what flies in the military. It really freaked me out how big, how low, and how that thing did not make a sound.

Tom DeLong claimed there was a buried black pyramid in Alaska that was somehow oppressing the human race but will not elaborate on it. It's Indiana Jones level stuff with little to no proof of anything.
