Humankind’s Hail Mary Play

It may turn out that the only thing that can let us see our similarities over our differences is a robust transparency on the UFO/UAP issue.

Yes, as a journalist by training and experience, I’m still obligated to say that we don’t know exactly what the explanation for the UFO/UAP issue actually is.

Thanks to the four shoot-downs of early February, more than a few people are ready to say that it looks like it’s either Chinese balloons or drones, and get back to their lives.

But unless China (which didn’t have an Air Force until 1949) was flying drones back in 1945 when pilots saw foo fighters, or 1946 when Sweden saw ghost rockets, or 1947 when Americans started seeing flying saucers, we need to strongly consider looking beyond the usual suspects for an explanation. There have been hundreds of thousands (and probably millions) of UFO sightings in the years since the end of World War II. Unless we choose to believe that the Chinese have developed time traveling drones, that just can’t be the explanation.

We need to stop screwing around if there actually is evidence that we are in the middle of some kind of contact scenario with one or more Non-Human Intelligences. If that’s the case, then this really can’t wait much longer.
