RE: What If The UFO Sightings Are Actually Real?
I think it'd be really cool if it WERE true, but I don't believe it is. This reminds me of a story that one of my best friends used to tell me and had 100% faith that what he was saying was true.
He told me that he was abducted when he was a child. He remembered hearing loud wizzing sounds and high pitched frequencies like sirens.
He hid in his closet and could also hear loud banging and the walls seemed to shake after each loud noise he heard.
There were also bright flashing white blue and red lights that were coming from outside and he could see them through the slots in his closet door.
His mom told him the next day that he had been abducted by aliens and explained it all to him in that way. I don't know if he was a believer before that or not, but I do know that she told him that, when he was around 4 years old.
Now if you're like me, you've paid attention to the details and related it to the most likely ACTUAL occurrence.
It sounds like police had arrived at his house for one reason or another, there was the breaking down or kicking in of a door, or some sort of struggle. The lights, sounds, and shaking are all clearly explained.
I told my friend this and tried to explain it to him in what i perceived to be logical but he refused to accept anything other than the fact that he had been abducted. He had believed that is what had happened his entire life, someone he respected told him that is what happened, for him that was the truth.
Do I believe he was abducted? NO, but he sure did, probably even to this day, and he's now in his 30's.
I think there is a very real possibility of intelligent life on other planets, our universe is massive. I also think we are kidding ourselves to think that some superior species has been checking us out and probing us for the past 50 years. What makes us special? Why do they care? Why is it not much more well known?
Interesting though. I think it'd be awesome if even part of it were true, I just don't think it is. I don't think it'd happen the way that people have described it. I think it'd be a much different experience, better, or worse, but either way on a much larger scale.
I agree with you that most of the sightings and people's experience of abduction are not true at all but are beliefs based on several different things one of which you mentioned as your friend's experience. But I think there are 1000s upon 1000s of reports and I can't help but wonder what if at least 0.5% of these were true. I don't know what makes us special that they would want to visit. Maybe there is something that we don't know, something so significant that they might be interested? But yeah, the whole thing sure is interesting :D
