There, we are not alone.

Look, I know I’ve told you this before and there are a whole bunch of you that likely think I’m a kook. That’s by design; you’re supposed to think I’m kooky. But I tell ya, kids, we’re not the only show in town, not the only cats on the couch.

This past week, Barack Obama said aliens are real. And after a few days of clarifying what he meant, the current president said Obama shouldn’t have said anything. Then moments later, he directed his minions to release the alien and extraterrestrial files.

Whoomp! There it is.

Maybe?

Two editions of the Roswell Daily Record, breaking the news of a crashed flying saucer in July of 1947.

It’s been a long time coming. The modern UFO story began back in July of 1947, when the newspaper in Roswell, New Mexico published a story saying the nearby Army Air Field had captured a flying saucer. The news went international for a full day, until a panicked government and military walked the story back, saying it was just a weather balloon (That was the first of their three different explanations over the years!)

Decades of denial and ridicule in popular culture began to end in December of 2017, when The New York Times published a front-page story about the Pentagon’s secret UFO program.

Let’s hear it for newspapers, then and now!

The paper shared video evidence of UFOs, wrote about key U.S. Senators funding the study of these things, military officials — like Lue Elizondo — coming forward and even discussed the advanced capabilities and recovered materials from these craft.

Navy pilots react to an unknown object flying against the wind in the now famous “Gimbal” video.

In the ensuing several years, there have been a bunch of Congressional hearings about UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon) — the new, less giggly name for UFOs. We’ve now come to this point, a sort of soft disclosure from two different presidents. Did the stock market crash? No. Did religions crumble? I don’t think so. Did Hall & Oates end their feud? No can do.

Mostly, we all saw this as just another attempted distraction from The Epstein Files, a higgledy-piggledy presidency and likely (at this writing), another dumb war — this time with Iran, Greenland, or who the heck even knows. But society has continued chugging along. We’ve all been forced to think about everything, everywhere, all at once.

You don’t have to believe politicians, though. Big business either. Military officials and top scientists have been saying for years that not only are we being visited by non-human intelligence, much of it has been here since the dawn of humankind. And that becomes mind boggling to the Xth degree.

Film makers and documentarians have entered the chat too. There are some fantastic, fact-filled flicks that you’d really love; I guarantee it. The Age of Disclosure is a great movie released last year, featuring almost three dozen governmental insiders talking about UAPs. The Phenomenon came out a few years back and it, too, lays out the UAP discussion deftly. And, of course, the granddaddy of all filmmakers in the alien genre is a dude named Steven Spielberg. And his Disclosure Day (coincidentally?) comes out this summer.

Two exceptional documentaries on the subject: The Age Of Disclosure, directed by Dan Farah and The Phenomenon, directed by James Fox

I, for one, am excited about where this hopefully-soon-to-be released information will take us. Several scientists who study the Phenomenon have said we’ve been able to conquer the Free Energy equation, sucking unlimited energy out of the vacuum of space all around us. Others have written and testified about instantaneous travel, leaving the speed of light in the dust.

There has also been talk about darker aspects to all of this, though everything is mere speculation without concrete proof. But regardless of what’s in store for us, it’s high time we, as a society, knew what we’re dealing with.

We can handle the truth, probably. Hopefully.

Maybe?

EDITOR’S NOTE:
The lead image on this story is not a real depiction of an alien; it is an after-the-fact illustration that goofball Rodney typed into ChatGPT with the prompt:
“Would you draw a horizontal illustration of a fun alien sitting around the living room drinking an iced coffee please?”
And then when the first picture was generated, the second prompt asked, “Thank you, would add a cat on the couch too?”
