Calikid,
It's a long post. Figured you'd enjoy reading it, and get a few chuckles...
Since childhood, I've had an interest in Alien Life and UFO (now UAP). My family has joked the first words I spoke as a baby was "Aliens"...
Some early childhood memories stay with us...
Around five years old (roughly 1962), I built a large rectangle with Tinker Toys and airplane type of steering wheel to sit inside of. My mother thought it was a car... I told it was a spaceship. In kindergarten the teacher said I would argue with her. She was using a stick pointer and going over a color chart that was posted above the chalkboard and going over the colors. Of course, I had to raised my and blurted, "There are some colors missing. There's colors in outer space you haven't seen yet."
In grade school, I sat backseat nearest the window. Always staring out the windows, looking at clouds and wondering if there was a spaceship hiding. Teacher come-by, "Oh you're having a difficult time focusing. Maybe it's time for your afternoon douse of medication." Ritalin... State University used me as part of a "study group" to learn the sideeffects of Ritalin on children. Those pills were huge! Tringle shaped. 900mm three times daily... Morning, Afternoon and Evening... I'm think it was 5th or 6th grade, maybe part of each school year. Not sure.
Had UFO Sightings as child and teenager. One of the sightings, three people were with me. I wrote something about it on the
Outpost Forum, click here to read.
Pre internet... Few books and articles on the topics. As a child shows like Star Trek, Lost in Space and Time Tunnel kept me going, along with a few outer space based cartoons... There were classic films out there...
Late 1960s into the mid-1970s, from time to time I was able to talk with people about my interest in space ships, other worlds and alien life. Lot of them were Christians, yet they were open to the idea of it. Often they'd make another biblical references. The New Jerusalem was a city in space, and on its way here to our solar system. Another biblical reference "that we look through a dark glass", and upon joining Christ in the heavens and or His return that we'd see clearly. They never ruled-out the possibility of life on other planets.
Some of those people were similar to Christian Hippies without the long hair. Two of them were University / College Students from Chicago IL Area. They were with me for that 1971 UFO Sighting. In the days that followed, I think they mentioned that 1947 Roswell New Mexico UFO crash and recovery. This was early 1970s... I heard rumor they had taken part in the anti war protests at Kent State that involved the National Guard. It wasn't something they talked about. When Kent State was mentioned, they changed the subject...Where they at Kent State? I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me.
It's crazy how often I've heard... No one was talking about Roswell before the 1980s. They think that no one knew about the 1947 UFO Crash near Roswell before the 1980s.
In 1947, it was in the news papers and television news for a few days. Yes, soon-after it was kept out of the Press... But people did talk about it... Back in the Day, "Word of Mouth" was something. While I don't recall anything off the top of my head, from time to time there were books and articles on it. It simply didn't get a lot of media attention.
MJ-12 is an interesting topic.
My entire life, I've had a keen interest in UFOs, alien life and space travel.
It's interesting studying the comings and goings of people in the field of Ufology. Lot of hoaxters have come and gone.
U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability is different. I assume that people testifying are under oath. That is a major shift toward Disclosure.
When Disclosure happens, it will likely be partial, and laced with lies and deceit. We must question it. Are they telling us everything? Are they telling us their version of it, and attempting to deceive us? We should always question the narrative. Who is telling it, and why are they telling it? Is there a long-game that people testifying are not aware of?
A Top Secret Security Clearance within the military is not taken lightly... The fact they are testifying before Committees means something. It's possible they were given prior authorization to speak on the matter.
If Disclosure is partial and laced with deceit, it is a step in the right direction.
Again, it was a long post... I figured you'd enjoy it..
