Essay by Eric Worrall
Tucker Carlson recently asked why claims by David Grusch that the USA is in possession of alien artefacts and spacecraft is not top news. An obvious explanation – nobody has produced any evidence.
The original claim;
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY U.S. HAS RETRIEVED CRAFT OF NON-HUMAN ORIGIN
LESLIE KEAN AND RALPH BLUMENTHAL·JUNE 5, 2023
A former intelligence official turned whistleblower has given Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin.
The information, he says, has been illegally withheld from Congress, and he filed a complaint alleging that he suffered illegal retaliation for his confidential disclosures, reported here for the first time.
Other intelligence officials, both active and retired, with knowledge of these programs through their work in various agencies, have independently provided similar, corroborating information, both on and off the record.
The whistleblower, David Charles Grusch, 36, a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan, is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). He served as the reconnaissance office’s representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. From late 2021 to July 2022, he was the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and its representative to the task force.

Can you imagine the value of even a small item of alien origin, produced by science centuries or millennia ahead of our own? What impact this would have on human technology – personal nuclear reactors, AIs which can fit into a matchbox, handheld blaster guns straight out of Star Wars, all virtually overnight?
What is the chances the military could keep that kind of capability quiet?
We’d all love to believe we are not alone in a vast and so far terrifyingly empty cosmos.
But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And nobody has produced anything like the level of evidence required to make such claims convincing.
I’ll believe in alien artefacts when someone does something tangible to prove this – shows me an alien ray gun, or lands a flying saucer somewhere public. Otherwise the latest claim looks like just another chapter of the aliens among us nonsense people have been peddling all these decades, ever since elves and fairies went out of fashion.
For what it’s worth, I’m a big Tucker fan, I think he’s done a great job of exposing corruption, and holding the powerful to account. But Tucker, please don’t ask us to believe in space aliens, unless you know someone who can show us an operational flying saucer.
Update (EW): If anyone would like a more terrestrial explanation for the apparent uptick in military UFO sitings, check out the Russian Skyfall, their “flying Chernobyl“. The Soviets developed a working nuclear powered jet plane, the Tupolev Tu-95LAL, in 1961 – if you can call “working” a flying vehicle which kills the pilots, because of the lack of radiation shielding. This was a Soviet attempt at solving the problem of reaching the US mainland, before the widespread deployment of ICBMs. So it seems plausible that Putin isn’t lying when he claims Russia has built a nuclear powered cruise missile which can stay in the air for weeks. If Russia actually does have this capability, what better target to buzz than US military vessels which mistakenly believe they are well out of aerial reconnaissance range.

Back in or around the ’60s it was believed that the only way to world peace was a common, external enemy. It would not surprise me if the Davos crowd, or a portion thereof, haven’t decided that the UFO/UAP area might provide the right level of external threat needed to boost the acceptance of their proposed one-world government.
The idea that beings who can navigate space and time, yet cannot navigate Earth’s atmosphere.
Although, it could be that only a stripped down craft can be sent here, and the last time the pilot actually flew in ‘hands on’ mode was in the academy.
A “training accident”?
I told a deceased friend of mine to explain why they need lights after crossing all those light-years of space? His consternation was hilarious. I topped it off with questioning do they have turn signals and emergency flashers? I miss his facial expressions of confusion.
No offence meant but the way you’ve written it gives the impression you were having a rather one-sided conversation with a corpse. I’m guessing you had the conversation before your friend died?
“His dad died when he was 7.”
Pretty active little kid. 😎
Tucker has hit the big time again, something like 100 million views for the whole episode!
As for Deep State UFO’s Area 51 all over again, remember Fermi’s famous question – where are they?
An civilization capable of vast interstellar travel would completely engulf, populate the Earth in about 42 minutes.
Come to think of it, the WEF and Neocon crowd sure do talk alien.
They are already here!
Rabbit hole time, not from any other solar system, trans dimensional entities, Something screwing with us from the other side manifesting in UFO’s, Bigfoot,etc.
I think Tuckers point is if Russia, Russia, Russia can dominate the news cycle for 2 YEARS with zero evidence then alien craft can get a passing mention without evidence either …
Perhaps an attempt to discredit the “whistleblowers” that have come forth with evidence against Biden?
Message: “You can’t trust whistleblowers!” (except for the one that launched an impeachment attempt of Trump over a phone call.).
Would a medieval scholar have been able to reverse engineer a cell phone?
I suspect our scientists would have as much luck reverse engineering any alien technology.
We ‘umble lubbers managed to reverse engineer the Antikythera machine in 40 years.
Steady progress, what?
It took 40 years to decipher a fancy clock? That’s nothing to brag about.
The only thing slowing that down was belief in our exceptionalism.
Bad war strategy, I’ll say!
I know your “special”, but we don’t usually talk about it.
I would love to know how you came to that conclusion, or is it just what the voices in your head told you to say.
Regardless, it took 50 years to develop imaging technology sensitive enough to see what was inside the unit. The original discoverers decided, wisely, not to try and take it apart as it was too delicate.
You don’t need alien technology to create a bunch of gears.
Reading problems there.
No one said Antikythera was alien!
Belief in exceptionalism today blinded people for decades to the capabilities in 220BC.
Sure we got a scan in the 1960’s already.
Mass production methods did not begin with Henry Ford.
The scans in the 1960s were quite limited, with little ability to show depth.
Bromley and Wright managed some much more detailed tomography later, but Bromley’s illness halted progress.
Freeth et al used more sophisticated methods later, which is about the current state of play.
re: “I know your “special”,”
Hint: “You’re” works better in the above.
Here’s a good way to remember: Either you know your sh**, or you know you’re sh**.
A spelling flame accompanied by a veiled insult.
I bet your nanny is really proud of you.
Jim, mebbe the content was as intended.
Read as ‘I Know your special (purpose), but we don’t usually talk about it.’
re: “Would a medieval scholar have been able to reverse engineer a cell phone?”
WHEN you as ‘a medieval scholar’ can’t even explain a battery? NO.
In 1800, Volta invented the first true battery, which came to be known as the voltaic pile.
It seems pretty simple. We just spent weeks following the flight of a strange-looking Chinese spy balloon. If it’s not a reflection issue at night, it’s probably something from a foreign country we haven’t seen before.
If little green aliens with tentacles and ray-guns were zooming about, they’d have communicated with us in some way by now. Or we’d have something. I know the odds suggest we’re not alone in the universe, but if the speed-of-light problem is absolute when it comes to objects bigger than (I don’t feel like looking it up right now) entanglement particles (or there’s a better explanation), then we’ll probably always be alone.
We seem desperate for something extraordinary in our lifetimes. And there’s already plenty of it with technology. But not every extraordinary event is going to happen in one tiny window of time.
It’s too bad Tucker is wasting whatever he had on this nonsense. A lot of people seem to like him and he seems willing to take on some people who need to be taken on. This alien coverup thing… another disappointment.
re: “It’s too bad Tucker is wasting whatever he had on this nonsense.”
I was a throw-away line used to poke the sleeping bear known as MSM … r/whoosh. It went over and beyond where you were standing …
Too bad I didn’t get a picture of it. Just a blurry something…
Are you saying this item is incorrect – that Tucker didn’t interview this guy?
This brings back fond memories of my childhood – Ancient Astronauts, Erich Von Daniken and *The Chariot of the Gods,* etc. etc. Heady time, heady time.
Life was more interesting then. I just never understood why adults were so blasé about it. I just wish there were more sideshow distractions like that. And the aliens never lectured anybody on privilege, either.
We have such a sense of self importance that we overlook the obvious. We obtains things from other companies and countries and we can reverse engineer it because our technology isn’t that much difference. Even when early semiconductor information was captured by Russia, they obtained the chip mask and use them to duplicate our semiconductors. How do we know? The manufactures logo was on chips produced in Russia.
Consider what would happen if you gave a cell phone to a cave man. Given time you might get the concept of what it was across but for them to understand what it was would be impossible without a lot of theory.
Yes, alien technology would have to rely on some of the theory we use today, but there probably is a good deal we have yet to discover. If they are with us, they found a way around the light barrier, something our current theory says is impossible. They may also use antimatter or may even have another source of energy we have yet to find.
If the military has something, it’s probably something pretty to look at but well beyond their understanding.
From a science fiction story. Consider if a disposable calculator from today was moved back it time to just after WW II. it would have been well beyond the ability of science to understand and duplicate. That’s only a few years compared to how advance another race could be.
re: “Consider if a disposable calculator from today was moved back it time to just after WW II. it would have been well beyond the ability of science to understand and duplicate.”
What kind of ‘science’ personnel?
Understand – no … Are you familiar with how the German Enigma codes were cracked? Early mechanical relay-based ‘computers’, calculators?
Duplicate – yes. “well beyond the ability of science to … duplicate”
I know about Enigma and the first two computers constructed during WW II. One used telephone relays and the other vacuum tubes. In addition mechanical calculator existed as well as tabulating machines that dated back to somewhere around the start of the century. Read IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black if you want to understand just how important machines were for handling data during the first half of the twentieth century.
The point is that even the simplest computing machine weight over 20 pounds and most were in the neighborhood of tons. A disposable calculator given away at trade fairs weighing under an ounce would have been a total mystery. It would have looked impossible to construct but half a century latter they could be given away as advertising material.
The big break was the transistor in 1947. IBM put two transistors in a single package. Then manufacturing became reliable enough that they could put more than one transistor on a single chip. Eventually we ended up with multiple computers on a single chip. All of that couldn’t be envisioned just after WW II. What flaws are there in our science today that when corrected will change our view of the universe?
P.S. I am old enough to have laid hands on a tabulating machine, a card sorter and several card punches so I understand how we got from there to here.
Good. I’ve punched a few cards on the old IBM Model 029 card punch too, ran a few jobs meant for a System/360 but ran on the present day (at the time) System/370 and while on one project at TI did actual component-level troubleshooting on a TTL digital computer that used open-collector gates on the several data buses on account of tri-state logic gates had not been developed yet (the “TIPI” computers). Later on we actually used TI 990/12s and VAX 11/780s as RJE ‘terminals’ to the corporate’s (CIC) IBM mainframe hardware.
While working at the TI GaAs Facility (we did RF/microwave MIMICs) foundry I actually met the guy whose name (along with a few others) is on the first TI calculator patent that hangs in TI’s main corporate lobby: Jerry Merryman. He had some interesting stories on getting the first silicon for those devices (the calculators) ‘operable’ shall we say. Point being, I don’t need lectures in this area, unlike lesser, inexperienced men.
I take it, then, that you concede my first point.i.e., they would understand the pocket calculator, i.e., using Boolean logic no matter its implementation technology.
The tabulators could do arithmetic. One application would be to take a sorted deck of card with all the telephone calls you made for the month and produce a printed bill and update card for next months records. It was done through the magic of relays and the programming would be on an exchangeable plug board but it was done well before WW II. They could have duplicated the function but it would have been a very large cabinet and it functions would have taken seconds to complete. They had mechanical calculators that would do the same job and were smaller but they didn’t use a boolean approach.
They would not understand what was going on in the calculator chip because it would have been beyond their comprehension that the logic could be compressed that much and yet be that cheap to make.
As for alien hardware, it might be so advanced that our science would have to advance just to understand it. In the WW II example, we had the tools to understand it. We might not have the tools to understand alien hardware.
re: “The tabulators could do arithmetic.”
Moving the goal posts; The subject being addressed was per this line you previously posted: “Consider if a disposable calculator from today was moved back it time”
You want a game of trivial pursuit, I don’t.
re: “They would not understand what was going on in the calculator chip because”
Do you know what a ‘half adder’ is? How about a ‘full adder’? I don’t think you are up to speed on where you are taking this …
HAVE you ever reviewed the calculator patent Jerry Merryman filed while he was at TI?
I was first exposed to digital electronics at ASU in the early 70’s. I really appreciated the AMD2903 because it sucked a lot of logic into a single chip. I have used gray codes and state machines to make complex constructs in PALs of 128 logic elements. Most of my professional work has been with assembler on the metal including hardware drivers. This means that I would from time to time discover the hardware wasn’t functioning correctly so I had to program around it or if possible correct the hardware.
To answer your question, no I haven’t reviewed any patens but I have reviewed a lot of technological documentation from IBM and other manufactures.
To answer your question, yes I know what a half adder and full adder are but after the AMD2903 came out, I haven’t had much need to think about them.
I fully believe that you make a better design if you understand everything that took place before. We handled massive amounts of data long before computers came along. How did they do it. The truth is they stored data on cards. They had card sorters to order the cards. They had tabulators to process the data. These same functions were sucked up into the computers and exist as software instead of hardware.
See – George Boole and his work (‘Boolean logic’). He lived from 2 November 1815 until 8 December 1864.
This precedes WW2 by a wide margin – no?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Boole
So what? Unless they can figure out how an integrated circuit works, they lack the ability to figure out that boolean logic is even being used.
Hand cranked mechanical calculators go back hundreds of years. That was not the point. The point was the ability of engineers and scientists to reverse engineer and duplicate the integrated circuits used in an electronic calculator.
They couldn’t make semiconducting materials, for starters.
re: “Hand cranked mechanical calculators”
Off-topic. The subject was electronic calculators. If you’re going to respond, please at least be on subject. Is it an age thing with you now MarkW?
Is it even possible for you to disagree with someone without insulting them? Or are you just so convinced of your own infallibility that you no longer feel the need to get along with anyone else.
Perhaps if you got your nose out of the air you might be able to keep up with the conversation.
PS: I could make the same comment to you, when you brought the German enigma machines into a conversation about electronic calculators.
I saw a flying saucer in 1967. A friend was flying a kite really high. As we were talking and watching it a shiny disc shaped object came into view. We assumed it was a plane that we couldn’t see the wings until it came to a stop above the kite. There was no way of telling if it was a small object close or a larger one farther away. It made no sound and hovered there for at least 10 minutes as we tried to figure out what it was. It then moved off on a vector, abruptly changed direction 90 degrees and shot out of sight in an upward direction at an unbelievable rate of speed.
Without proof I wouldn’t claim it was an alien craft but I don’t think humans had technology that could do that then or now.

Remember SETI, and Fermi’s Paradox?
Reconfiguring SETI in the microbial context: Panspermia as a solution to Fermi’s paradox
https://www.panspermia.org/microbialseti.pdf
There are many papers there on viral RNA and DNA dispersing throughout interstellar dust over aeons.
Earth regularly ploughs through dust and some of this can survive and bring new RNA, DNA.
Now this gets really explosive when one looks at Flu seasons.
And yes, pandemics such as the recent one that cannot be named.
There was a comet or asteroid fireball reported not long before Wuhan and the prevailing wind pattern, over the Himalayas nicely fits the explosive case-timing in Iran, Italy and NY.
And the infamous Spanish Flu pandemic spread before airlines between India and USA.
Anyway these dust trails mean many solar systems plough through them. Which means “aliens” might look very like life forms here, even, especially the weirdest :
What is astounding, there is no global monitor system for incoming dust RNA and DNA !
So instead of listening for SETI radio or artifacts, sample this dust – it could save millions of lives and lockdowns!
PS, not ruling out military gene fiddling, nature is way ahead…
There is no RNA, much less DNA on asteroids.
They have the chemicals that are used to build RNA and DNA, but it hasn’t been assembled.
The problem with panspermia, is that you have merely shifted the problem of how did life start, from our planet to some other planet.
The problem remains – how advanced evolution seems to repeat DNA or RNA sequences. Shifting the problem of life off planet merely challenges the land-lubber’s ‘*stake my claim here on my patch’ to the real world.
Without a dust monitor, incredibly lacking, leaves us open to pandemics.
We all know what that means after the pandemic that cannot be named.
Sequences are repeated because they are inherited from common ancestors.
As to the rest of your nonsense, whatever they are medicating you with, it needs to be doubled.
Not just the chemicals to build RNA have been founf on asteroids, but whole nucleobases, ie the key components of RNA, ie uracil:
https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-discover-rna-component-buried-in-the-dust-of-an-asteroid
It’s also known that short RNA segments, ie oligomers, self-assemble in the pockets of liquid water in ice.
And of course meteorites are loaded with hundreds of amino acids, far more than used in the proteins of life on Earth.
Uracil is one of four nucleobases in RNA. The other three are the same as in DNA, in which thymine, the methylated version of uracil ,replaces it.
Exactly. Some here are very much land-lubbers. It is a vast cosmos out there.
Even JWST pulled this in :
Webb Space Telescope detects universe’s most distant complex organic molecules
https://phys.org/news/2023-06-webb-space-telescope-universe-distant.html
In Nature.SPT0418-47 is 12 billion light-years , by redshift.
The Earth is not the center of the Universe, nor of life.
One thing is for sure: It is far more likely that we are or have been visited by alien spacecraft than that our CO2 emissions are in any way shape or form “dangerous to the planet”.
Those would be as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Imperial storm troopers couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with them – from the inside.
But it wasn’t the guns – Obi Wan fired a blaster in Revenge of the Sith, and hit his target 😉
But of course. That was Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Use The Source, Luke.
Nah it’s the Stormtrooper helmets with those dark lenses over their eyes – can’t see squat out of them!
The simplest explanations are often the best. William of Okkam would have approved 🙂
OK, now explain the “A Team”.
re: “INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY U.S. HAS RETRIEVED CRAFT OF NON-HUMAN ORIGIN”
Were any of the “INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS” one of the 51 intel officials that signed the memorandum that said the “P P hoax” document was ‘real’?
Indeed.
Stolen from another venue: In a world were every single person is armed with a cell phone you’d think sightings and evidence of UFO’s would go way up, but nope. It’s all made up. UFO’s sightings were more numerous back when cameras were crappy and you couldn’t tell what you were filming. And now in 4K – good luck faking it.
Two points: if they have the technology to get here, they have the technology to not be observed. Second, the effect of having advanced technology would be obvious. We don’t see anyone in this world so advanced.
I was an engineer with Boeing. Several ex-Air Force officers I knew were sure the reason the US had superior technology was because we had access to alien tech via crashed UFOs.
If their technology was so great, how come they crashed all over N. America (period), and no where else? And why are the Russians and Chinese surpassing us in vital technologies?
Small minds are drawn to silly conclusions.
We never saw ANY so-called ‘advanced tech’ roll through TI’s GaAs Facility (Gallium Arsenide semiconductor front end fabrication factory) that could be attributed to something ‘off-world’ (as an SGC Stargate crew might put it) and we were building all manner of RF ICs for use in various test equipment and mil and civ RADAR and comm systems … ALL the tech used in device/GaAs fabrication can be found in Ralph Williams book “Advanced GaAs Processing Methods” for anyone interested. The circuit designers used the at-the-time commercial RF design and modeling tools e.g. EESoF Touchstone, Microwave Spice and the like.
We fabricated WBDA, power amps, LNA discrete devices (used in satellite DBS receivers), HBTs, MESFETS, step/logic-driven attenuators – you name it.
All of these technologies have long and well documented histories. There are no sudden jumps in technology that can only be explained by “alien technology”.
Back when I went to college, most integrated circuits (ICs) had dozens to a few hundred transistors on them. The first 8080 cpu, had about 6000 transistors. The 8080 was preceeded by the 8008, which was primarily in calculators and had about 3500 transistors. Modern CPUs have 10’s of millions of transistors, however the increase in complexity and transistor count has been more or less steady and consistent over the last 40 years.
The existence of extra-terrestrial intelligent aliens on Earth is statistically almost impossible.
Premise 1: Humans are capable of interstellar travel. Even with current technology, building a multi-generational interstellar colonizing ship is possible. The cost is currently prohibitive, and there are survival questions because of the long term exposure to cosmic radiation. We also need to find a habitable planet around another star. But if it takes thousands of years to overcome these problems that’s still insignificant compared to the age of the universe.
Premise 2: I’m talking about the Milky Way galaxy, but the same arguments would apply if a civilization arrived at our galaxy from another.
If Faster Than Light Travel (FTL) is possible, any species that developed it would spread throughout the galaxy at approximately the speed of population doubling. If a population can double in say 100 years, then it would have enough beings to fill one planet per star in 3,700 years (2**37 stars). This would mean that after 15 billion years without any such species, two such species (humans being one) arose in the last 6000 years (human history starts approx 4000 BC). Had the other species arose sooner, they would have populated Earth long ago. If one wants to claim that this is a benevolent alien species and has set aside Earth to preserve humanity (a “Prime Directive”), even then the window of the creation of the two species is only about a million years even if the most primitive hominids were set aside.
If FTL isn’t possible, then expansion is limited by the speed of travel. It would still only take a species capable of interstellar travel on the order of a million years to populate the galaxy at one tenth the speed of light, although it would take at least 100,000 years with even .99 c speeds. This still means that no space-faring species arose until the last million or so years. The slower the travel the less likely a species would be to send out live beings in a small exploratory ship. The only craft sent out would be either robotic explorers or colony ships. Even a colony ship full of ‘eggs’ would have to be large enough to carry equipment to sustain the initial colony. There would be no setting aside of Earth, and no ship with a couple of little grey men.
Lets give the galaxy all but the last billion years just to form and develop heavy elements. By my calculation, the probability of two species in a billion years both arising in the last million as 1/250,000. Multiply that by the probability that the other species would visit Earth with live beings but not as colonists.
One other possibility mentioned is that humanity is a lost colony from another world. The problem with this is that we can trace our biological roots to creatures living on Earth 1/2 billion years ago.
As far as alien technology, I see no evidence of any sudden technological breakthroughs in the post WW2 years. By WW II we already had transistors (the basis for all modern compuer technology), jet aircraft, masers, nuclear theory …
That’s disappointing. I wanted us to be descended from Pak.
Well don’t let reality stop you – apparently you can self-identify as anything these days, even a protector.
Unfortunately, some of the changes seem to be occurring, but only the bad ones 🙁
It’s nice to see somebody else familiar with Known Space.
Commenters here are not very bright if they link “fact” to “media reports”. Think of it this way.
It was mass media led by Hollywood who, in the formative stages of movies and TV were instrumental in having a gun culture as a big part of many story lines. These days in the US there are hundreds is mass shootings each year, leading to hundreds of murders. In the simple case of a 2 person homicide, the offender often gets a long jail term. Bot, who in Hollywood has ever been investigated, charged, tried or put away for those mass shooting deaths that they were plausibly complicit in assisting?
Similarly, the Brits have just released a 200 page report on the massive economic harm of lockdown globally, compared with the marginal decrease in Covid -19 deaths, recommending lockdown never be tried again. Some people made decisions that have led to at least thousands of excess deaths in UK alone. They goofed, with immensely tragic results, yet it seems that the offenders will escape Scot free as the media and others weave their untrue excuses for mass murder.
Be careful, very careful, of what you read in mass media. And in social media if you have adopted it with your non-optional KoolAid.
Geoff S
Did you run a computer model to determine how many murders “Hollywood” has caused over the years?
Aldous Huxley about Soma “And there’s always soma to calm your anger, to reconcile you to your enemies, to make you patient and long-suffering. In the past you could only accomplish these things by making a great effort and after years of hard moral training. Now, you swallow two or three half-gramme tablets, and there you are”.
Action is a the distraction but even vicarious action on in the virtual world can be the perfect distraction… the perfect Soma. Even the Pentagon is getting into the business.
In the 21st century, we know Huxley’s SOMA cannot be a drug because we also know drugs are death and the derangement of families. But the phone and the internet together are the perfect Soma. Distracted people living, spending and consuming are unable to tear themselves away from the endless search for the next variable interval SOMA hit.
Our SOMA is the perfect Skinner box regardless of the content… UFO, freak show. We carry around the 20th’s century country fair freak show with us everywhere we go.
The content is no different than the tabloids of the 20th century yet spectacularly repackaged. authorized by experts, realistic and far more compelling with the endless pull of an ever flowing year book of images with comments of strangers and token friends
When super AI enters fully enters into the distraction business….. every thing we will see and have access to will be designed, sequenced for who we are, who we want to be and what we want to consume all within a strategically shaped gestalt derived from the online history of our lives.
This 21st Century SOMA shapes us to be half minded impressionable and willing to believe anything long enough to remember it as it flows into a pile of speculative impressions of our remembered experience.
It turns us into caricatures because we are severed from the more nobler and rewarding pursuits of humanity of the bygone ages.
The next great Philosopher, Theologian, Poet, Writer, Painter, Song writer, composer, musician, playwright, Architect, Choreographer, historian will not be us.
We will not desire new ideas they will be desired for us by others or IT.
We will become phantoms of IT’s imagination…like our UFO’s long after we are gone.
The UFO hoax is rapidly cycling blather of fringe elements.
