World is getting weirder and weirder for every year, it is such a mess atm people in same society appear to live in different realities. Specially if one if in the belief that everything and everything government's and (hate this word) Main stream media tell people what is up.

Then we have the opposite side, flat earth and well.. What is labeled conspiracy.

One could say we have a huge issue if even people in center of things are labeled, so things become black and white. Wrong and right, guess who is right.

Feel the ufo topic clearly shows how we have compliantly lost connection to reality, and reality is what ever powers that be paint. And it seems, no amount of evidence for or against will convince any of the extremes. Both extremes will label those in center. Feel this is a huge issue that has grown without limits. If anything, one side seems to want this. And use it. Perhaps as justification to reach goals set.

Even the right to express one self, share opinions or ideas is no under attack.

Maybe it is because free speech combined with internet, even the shady platforms of today with censorship is a threat to powers that be. Same powers that made the ufo topic a mess, and continue to follow same playbook used since at least 1950's.

Ufo topic is allot more than beings from another planet, how we respond to it reflects the conditioning we are all affected by. Question is, will we snap out of it? It is getting self destructive in more than one way, specially when looking at today's ignorance that seem to have no limit.

Or, will people for once demand the known truths? And, how would we respond if we do not like the answers we hear? Will we prove powers that be right, we are children. Need even to be protected against fundamental truths, even if it perhaps involve questions and answers to humanities biggest questions. Or, will we grow up. And truth can change the world, in a positive manner, tho a very few will feel a negative impact. Its not hard to speculate, what ever is going on is to protect those on top.

No matter what the phenomena represent, even if we dont know much. What we do know has the potential to change what we think about reality, and what it means to be a human or be alive.

I do not think we have the luxury to be ignorant to this subject, i dare to say our ignorance has already had a huge cost in all ways. Be it money, quality of life, progress, understanding, probably even life's has been lost to keep things hush hush.

I'm aware this sounds nutty as f***, but to think we live in normal times demands more mental gymnastics then even the nuttiest conspiracy's. And, if you are a grown up and able to think for your self. You should also care about your existence, and stop being ignorant and lazy when authority throws you a bone. If, you dont want ignorance and destruction on basic values to be our legacy to shape the future for probably generations to come. If we haven't blown our self up. xD

Anyways, just a few tough's. I would think most think they deserve the truths, but im not so sure. Maybe a government acting like a parent is addictive because it does not demand your attention or gives a false sense of security?

Tnx for reading, or reply. Im just spitting out some toughs, i mean. Conspiracy theories... :)

Thanks for writing. “The significance of children is that they are not yet exposed to the world, and they communicate better with the spirits and nature,”

Avi Loeb chides the "adults in the room", he says because they pretend to know all answers (he asked awkward question growing up). The adults are now some smarty-pants colleagues who are having significant psychological issues with ET being here (or whatever they are). He says he's still a "farm boy". The man is a beacon.

Great. Looking forward to watching the doc.

Nickerson’s documentary focuses on the impact the incident had on individuals, which is one point of view (and he does it very well). Another point of view is data gathering, which ultimately provides answers to the nature of the phenomenon.

I found it fascinating that one pupil described an entity as running in slow motion, but within an animated loop, suddenly starting at the beginning again. Another described one or more entities as vanishing and reappearing. These differences might suggest that at least part of their perceptions were being manipulated; so it would be very beneficial to know what each of the pupils witnessed (although I realise there are practical problems with that exercise). The same applies to the incident at the school in Australia in 1966 (no entities) and the alleged incident in Voronezh in 1989.

Ruwa seems to fall squarely in the category of ‘technologically based’ rather than witnesses seeing entities from specific religions. The Ruwa entity appeared ‘alien’ and while passing on an ecological message, it didn’t leave behind any strict commandments or requests to build a church (as has been reported in other types of incident).

Human interpretation:

It may be easier for adults, steeped in a specific culture or religion, to ascribe unusual events to something they are familiar with; whereas children may be more inclined to stick with their direct perceptions because they are still trying to understand what’s what.

If a subset of UAP represent non-human technology then what do we expect to find inside? God in a can, or entities somewhat less impressive than the technology they wield? (Or perhaps remote controlled machines?) We should be prepared for some relatively disappointing answers, given that nothing from the heavens has been purely beneficial or benign.

UAP – confused terminology

I’ve not finished watching A Tear in the Sky, but came across another reference to the term UAP being used as a specific category for ‘presumed non-human tech’. It seems to be a post-TTSA phenomenon that intelligent people are compromising the term. The acronym UAP encompasses anything that remains unidentified. When the U.S. officially acknowledged that the leaked videos were ‘real’ it didn’t mean they were alien tech. When intelligent people use the term UAP to imply ‘apparent non-human tech’ they are causing problems for the entire field, exactly the same as when UFO became synonymous with ‘flying saucer’.

My understanding is that many of the children (we're talking elementary school ages) interpreted the entities according to their cultural upbringing. For example, some of the black African kids thought the entities were spooky spirits as described in their native mythologies, while others with more exposure to western media said the entities looked like Michael Jackson.

When confronted by the unknown and mysterious don't we tend to summon memories that might provide context?

Like Billy mentioned - it's the apparent disparities that are curious and might provide a clue; aspects where there are significant differences in memories where one might expect the details to be more similar.

The basic common elements were one or more vessels(/UFOs) and one or more entities, plus the description of the eyes seems consistent and the general colour of an entity.

I'm guessing there's an underlying concern that if too many discrepancies are emphasised then the credibility of the claims might be degraded. For those of us who want to understand, we need to know as much as possible. If we accept the possibility that perceptions are being affected/manipulated, then every detail becomes much more significant in understanding what the children experienced (and what we're dealing with).

Very interesting! I wonder if anyone is keeping a archive of all the Ariel info.

And I wonder when the heck the mainstream media are going to take a close look at this incident and do some real reporting for a change, rather than simply be stenographers for Pentagon pablum.

I think that's those are the broad strokes, historically speaking. But even taking cultural cues into consideration, in this case there were disparities concerning things like, how many were they, exactly where did they appear -- around the craft, on top of it, did they blink in and out? Just high strangeness all the way around.

You've got that right. I heard an interview several months ago with one of the originals. She said that at one point she was standing at the schoolyard / bush boundary with one of the entities "at arm's length" in front of her. It didn't make a sound, she said, but she got a clear telepathic communication.

Excellent, Billy. You always manage to imbue your writing with an appropriate measure of emotion.

I've seen Mack's and a Zimbabwean UFO investigator's interviews with the children. Among those who claimed to have received a telepathic message from the entities, one boy's summation of the communication has stayed with me: "Pollution mustn't be!"

As always, I'm hopeful this new doc. will open another breach in the bulwark of denial.
