Trajanus's latest activity

Way too optimistic in my opinion. Sure, once familiarization is deemed complete. But this is different--fear of the unknown, and not just any unknown but advanced alien beings with incredible powers. That's why there's familiarization, to...

Skeptics and disinfo agents have the agenda driven approach. UFOlogists like KDR accept some cases and reject others based on evidence. What he saw was no mere light in the sky. It was a technological craft, of an unknown type, with beings in...

I don't buy the takeover scheme notion of Jacobs, but the witnesses clearly had a highly unusual experience and highly suggestive of ETs. Barney spotted the craft through his binocs. If the Hill case was just a military psyops operation, they...

A "significant proportion" (33%) indicates progress has been made but it's not adequate. Maybe around 80--90%. And just because a person believes aliens exist doesn't necessarily mean he's ready to accept their presence here calmly--if or when...

Sure. IMO there's no valid comparison between irrational concepts like "sky gods" or "demons" and what we ourselves appear to be rapidly advancing toward. And it's not just a subjective exercise. The phenomenon shows up on radar...

Of course they're familiar with the alien idea in sci fi but real ET ....right here...different issue. Fiction poses no theoretical threat to our safety or existing beliefs. Some are but I doubt they would if they knew the full truth about what...

That's the issue that familiarization is intended to rectify. It's precisely because of what you note that familiarization is a slow and very subtle process. It'll take decades more IMO. Frankly I think that's happened already. As The Alien...

I’ve been following the UFO enigma since the early 1970s. As a young man, I was very naïve regarding the ramifications of first contact. After a lifetime in this society and looking at our world as a whole. I am convinced that human society...

That's misleading. Certainly skepticism remains. But since 1947 polls have shown increased acceptance of the idea of ET visitors. It certainly says something that many UFO books have sold well, witnesses have been respected guests on TV talk...

I don't think their real purpose or goals are so difficult to figure out. The phenomenon is very deceptive but it isn't really all that hard to see through it. In many cases, their purpose looks like study but it's a facade. See e.g. 1973 The...

I think they already have--in some cases for a long time--all the basic data, including the psychology of those chosen to be witnesses. As the aforementioned work argues, witnesses tend to be credible people. The idea is to help increase...

It's a long story. Familiarization is essential for eventual open contact involving rational interaction. But not entirely pacific. :) Not a bona fide takeover but to ensure a future Earth regime is "tied" to the ETs, for the sake of lasting...

Oh of course not. ET/UFO appearances have two other important objectives. The phenomenon is slowly familiarizing us with the reality and presence of alien visitors. But it doesn't want us to be certain of this yet. To prevent it, they...

I doubt it. Even if they need samples they wouldn't have to reveal their presence, or make their ET nature obvious. Dubious. While they occasionally appear with technology as primitive as ours or more so, that's likely just a facade...

I'm not so sure it's wise to draw such generalized conclusions. Maybe they ( whoever "they" are ), does need physical samples in order to perform their analysis. Maybe our biology is as alien to them as theirs is to us. Maybe some of our tech is...

But wouldn't the result of a "gradual familiarization" program necessitate an ongoing analysis of our reaction to them in order to measure their progress? Looked at it that way, "Gradual Familiarization" is just the name of that particular study...

I think they're advanced enough to know how we, or many specific individuals, would react. I've long thought that ETs select people who are credible and at the same time least likely to "freak out" when encountering UFOs and alien entities. The...

I don't think their real purpose is study. Many cases make it appear that way but they're deceptive. The real purpose is gradual familiarization. If ET just wanted to study us he could do it without any of us even knowing he is here.

We still have quite a way to go it seems e.g. high speed movement without rockets or reaction mass, in most cases. For those not strongly inclined toward skepticism, there are many unexplained (in prosaic terms) cases, and not all involve HS. At...
