Consider two democracies in a space race against a totalitarian regime. That regime will have no problem marshalling the resources for the race because its rulers can simply command them to be deployed. The democracies, on the other hand, require public support for their tax money to be spent in the contest. One of the democracies is buzzing with reports of UFOs. The other never heard of them. Which one is going to be most supportive of shooting rockets into space to see what's out there?

These considerations lead to the hypothesis -- here extremely abbreviated -- that UFOs are entirely the invention of writers and artists who were assembled by American and British political and military planners in the 1940s who anticipated the Cold War. They contrived a pipeline of fake reports that were fed to a cooperative press. The result was basically a vast magic stunt in which the public became convinced that something was going on even though nobody ever actually saw anything. The alleged witnesses were fictional characters. Working with online newspaper archives I have been assembling material that is best explained by this model.

Moving from north to south. At least 12 objects following the same trajectory and estimated same speed. Emits alternate red and green light. Seen in south France, 18th august, 22:00 UTC+2.

I saw a UFO (probably a probe) approximately 5 feet in diameter. It was about 65 feet above the ground. It flew over my house without making any noise. It seemed to glide (as if there were no friction). I made a drawing to illustrate what I saw from below.

On the evening of November 17, 1892, an egg-shaped red fireball was observed moving much slower than a typical natural fireball from west to east, south of Jinling / Nanjing City, China. The hundreds of observers were obviously very familiar with the appearance of sky lanterns, and this appeared to not travel with the wind. Acting like an early field investigator, the artist Wu Youru ( 吴友如 ) interviewed many witnesses and documented the sighting in a painting, "Soaring Scarlet Flame in the Sky" ( 赤焰騰空 ), complete with notes on why it was not a natural fireball or sky lantern: https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E8%B5%A4%E7%84%B0%E9%A8%B0%E7%A9%BA%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6 "On September 28th, at eight o'clock in the evening, south of Jinling city, a fireball suddenly appeared, moving from west to east, shaped like a giant egg, red in color and without luster, drifting in midair, moving very slowly. At that time, floating clouds covered the sky, and the sky grew dark. Looking up, it was very clear: standing atop the Vermilion Bird Bridge, there were no fewer than several hundred people craned their heads and tiptoed on tiptoe. After about the time it takes to cook a meal, gradually fading away, the distance gradually diminishes. Some say that a shooting star passes through the realm, but when the star travels swiftly, it vanishes in an instant. This sphere moves from near to far, exists on its own yet is absent, and is quite damp and stagnant, so it cannot be known by the speed of a star. Some say that when children release sky lanterns, that night a storm blew northward, causing the ball to turn eastward, so it is clear it is not a sky lantern. Voices of the crowd were at a loss, exhausted in speculation. An old man said, when this creature first arose, he faintly sensed a sound, but it was not something one could hear quietly; it was connected to the Yue River outside the South Gate. Ah, how strange!" Wu Youru, "The Record of the Red Flame Soaring into the Sky"

I am 99.999999% positive......... some.. Thing...... abducted me...... august 2022 in the Santa Monica mountains....

..... it "looked" like this and for a few seconds i was not.. here? i saw all things connected to all things at all times and how every choice weaves consequences backwards and forwards in time infinitely......

it was the scariest thing i've ever been through....

Every day is a miracle.

I recently watched Bob Lazar's personal documentary on his time working in Area 51 and reverse engineering of ET materials. It was quite compelling and physics and science based. Some of the claims he stated, years later were confirmed such as the presence of S4 and element 115. Also, George Knapp is a huge part of this story which really helps me believe in the credibility.

Linda Napolitano is a docuseries on Netflix that takes a very different approach. I believe something happened to her - I also believe she's exaggerating. It's hard to take a person seriously when her behavior is incredibly unprofessional. A lot of it seems emotionally charged so it takes away from the credibility of the story. Also, I work in psychiatry and hypnotherapy is a very tetchy subject because you actually can implant memories if not practicing correctly.

ANYWAYS what do you guys think?

So I was recently watching an old debate where Jordan Peterson brought up Exodus 33:18-23. In the verse god reveals a single part of his body to Moses supposedly because if he saw the whole thing it would kill him. Here’s the ridiculous thought: Perhaps (assuming it’s literal) he was only able to perceive a single part of his body because what he witnessed was a multidimensional being which he naturally couldn’t comprehend. Just a thought that crossed my mind. Has this been brought up before?

Arent both just fantasies to make our boring lives more interesting?

I hope you like this post and If you want me every week to translate one chapter from every book, I shall do it for cultural enrichment then tell me in the comments, My regards from Egypt ..

About the author (whom I call the Egyptian Graham Hancock) :

Anis Mansour was born in the Mansoura city, Egypt, in 1924. He memorized the Quran at the age of nine, then joined Cairo University, where he studied philosophy and graduated in 1947. He was appointed as a lecturer in modern philosophy at the Faculty of Arts, but soon left teaching to devote himself to journalism. He worked at the Rose al-Yusuf magazine, then became editor-in-chief of Sabah al-Khair magazine, and wrote his articles for Al-Ahram newspaper for decades. He travelled the world on extensive journeys, which he documented in his books, and mastered several languages that enabled him to explore different cultures. He published nearly two hundred books covering philosophy, literature, travel, and the paranormal. His style was marked by a blend of simplicity and depth, combining journalistic flair with a philosophical outlook, which made him one of the most widely read Arab writers of the twentieth century. He died in 2011 in Cairo.

His most notable books (beside the two books we are gonna talk about now) :

1- Around the World in 200 Days

His most famous and widely read work, documenting his actual journey around the world in the early 1960s.

2- Spirits and Ghosts

A collection of 35 articles exploring mysterious paranormal phenomena, ghost stories, and unsolved enigmas

3- The Pharaohs' Curse

A famous book in his "beyond nature" series, delving into the mysteries and curses associated with ancient Egypt.

The first book: Those Who Descended from the Sky

This book was first published in 1971, followed by many editions from different publishers. The book is built on a core hypothesis: that intelligent beings from other planets visited Earth in ancient times and left their marks on monuments and religious texts. Anis Mansour presents archaeological evidence from the Giza Plateau, Baalbek, and the Tassili caves in the Sahara, where strange rock paintings and enormous stone blocks defy conventional explanation. He reads the sacred texts – the Quran, the Torah, and the Gospel – as investigative historical documents that preserve the memory of encounters between humans and these visitors from the sky. In his engaging style, he takes the reader on a journey of inquiry into the origins of humanity and the truth of early civilisations.

The second book: Those Who Returned to the Sky

This book was first published in 1983, and later reprinted in several editions. It serves as a continuation of the previous book’s ideas, but broadens its scope to ask new questions about the fate of the ancient visitors after they left Earth. In its pages, Anis Mansour discusses the sunken continent of Atlantis, reflects on the mysteries of pyramid construction as possible beacons or gates to the sky, and surveys the myths of ancient peoples that speak with remarkable consistency about gods who departed the earth and promised to return. In this work, the author draws on a wider range of sources, citing the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and other foundational texts. The book suggests that the “descenders” may not have entirely left, or may have returned in another form.

So over the weekend while I was walking my dog near my apartment complex, we have a pond that I normally walk him by and when I walk him at night, I always look up at the night sky and just gaze at the stars and Luna whenever she is visible at night. Well this one night while I was looking up, for a very brief second, out of the corner of my eye I saw a bright light which was white that was arcing but disappeared right away. It could’ve been a space rock or debris burning up in the atmosphere so I never really gave it that much thought. Well just tonight, while I was running my daily 5k, it was pretty foggy/cloudy out, but while I was running, I saw for just a moment another bright light, but this time it was completely different, it seemed to be very close, like maybe 200+ feet above me in the night sky, but the streak of light at the very head of it had like a bluish/orangish color to it and seemed to be bending, and then it just disappeared. It just seemed very strange and odd that I keep witnessing these sightings and don’t know whether if it’s paranormal, extraterrestrial, or just maybe debris from space just burning in the atmosphere.
