There is concern being expressed that ufology is dying, that the best encounters are past and that disclosure is nowhere in sight.
But..... could there be a reason why?
There are a number of people who claim that human-looking aliens reside among us undetected (Timothy Good, Ingo Swan, Medvedev -if he wasn't joking). If so, why? What is their purpose here?
I have puzzled over accounts that make Aliens seem dumb - about our world and how politics works.
Putting it all together, did the Aliens collectively realize that their visits weren't working and might even be counterproductive?
Have they "paused" in favor of a better, wiser strategy? To infiltrate human society and change our world away from elite domination (who want to hold on to power by any means) and end the isolation of earth by discreetly removing the obstacles here?
Could the basic message of the 'Ascension' types - about removing the "Cabal" before disclosure - be correct? I think there may be a chain of thought that leads in this direction.
The Galactic Federation has voted and THIS is their decision...

Right now it's meteors and asteroids. According to von Braun, aliens are next.
Aliens are probably not on pause! Rather I think it strongly possible they may have just quit! Of course we all know they pick up on every piece of communication on this planet, and when they began to hear all of the communication about implementing Obamacare and TAP, they simply decided they wanted no part in it. And, of course that is what we should expect from a "more intelligent race" anyway!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

No FALSE FLAG Aliens are next not REAL Aliens
I have been saying for years that the alien visitations are dropping off. (not counting the CRITTER sightings which don't count as they are local :D)
There hasn't been a decent sighting in many years that can't be traced to a hoax or something else. The stories in the 50's and 60's were gold... good solid descriptions, etc
But today, despite the fact that everyone has a camera on them all the time... all we get is crap, fakes and hoaxes
I am pretty certain they have stopped coming for now... certainly not in numbers.
Add to that all the charlatans literslly creating artifacts and passing them off as 'new' finds... it has gotten so bad I stopped looking at new UFO cases
I figure if ONE that is worth looking at does pop up, it will come to my attention anyway ;)

And here s the real reason for the slow down. If you don't look you won't see.
And, then again, I've been in "coast" mode for about 2 months...sort of a "data analysis" period. But, the Magick will start again soon. Almost funny, the timing will prolly be just after the comets. ;D
Well gimme a ring when they land :P
I wanna hitch a ride to the Moon... seems NASA claims they found some intersting gemstones I want :D
According to the Beijing UFO Research Organization there are no extra terrestrials visiting us.
The number is zero now. But they did not rule out terrestrial visitors. Hum..
There stance is Natural, Artificial, Living things, Electrical/optical, in peoples mind and zero extraterrestrials.
I agree that the credible UFO sightings are dropping off in favor of military craft in the skies. Rather any are terrestrial craft with non-humans id up for debate.
I don't know where Orbs fit in but they should/could fit in with critters or natural.
All the real aliens went home. But don't worry they will be back. In force.... ???

Let's consider China in the grand scheme of things. Officially, they tow the line on UFO's - swamp gas, Venus, whatever.
However, I have noticed that discussions about the Cabal or international string-pullers focus on the US and Europe as if Asia didn't exist - and yet, China may the number 1 economy in just a few years.
China has already stated its official disgust with US 'abuse of its privileges' in regard to reserve currency and more. There can be no question that they are zealously undermining the whole financial and political system in favor of a multipolar world in which the UN handles Syria and Iran.
At some point - and especially if their moonprobes show the evidence- it may be greatly to their benefit to trigger Disclosure. It could be a huge body blow to the military-industrial complex as whatever credibility remains is shattered and the world wonders why life-saving technology was withheld for decades.
The Chinese leadership is clever, determined and often takes a refreshingly long-term view of the world. It would be a mistake to leave them out of the Big Picture. Their atheist/Confucian/Buddhist culture seems ready made for acceptance of Aliens, once conditions are right.
Just a theory....
I hate to talk religion but since you brought it up. We are currently being invaded by the Catholic religion. I use the work invasion because that is how I see it. It is a first step of an internal take over. The power they wield here is growing daily. My first ever bible bash by a Chinese person told me that my religion was not as good as hers. huh?
When I told her that the Bible was just a book written by men and not by the hand of God him/herself, I thought I was going to be nailed to a cross. After that I tried my best to leave but I got bashed several more times on the way out of that conversation. This would never have happened years ago.
So are the Cabal or international string-pullers the next step. If this country is not careful, Yes. People do use religion for many things besides religion.
D
That stuff is subject to ebb and flow. I can remember being annoyed, across many years, by Moonies, Hari Krishnas, Born-Agains and so on.
This is a fascinating site, filled with great information - but it all seems to be developed within a context of US hegemony. They dominate the globe, whether militarily or politically - and that deeply affects the Alien subject.
Is that hegemony rapidly ending? I think so. What happens next......?
Perhaps due to budget cutbacks, some of the black projects (synthetic lifeform programs) may be on hold until the next big money grab. Or perhaps they are converting the labs over to 3D printing capability so it may just be temporary. The other option is perhaps our planet is becomming too much of a toxic soup for them these days. At any rate the likeliness of any alien invasion is 0%. They have had several millenia to invade at times when we had no chance of fighting back. If an invasion of any sort happens it will be a false flag rendered by some lab created chimeras acting as an alien threat to further the agenda. By that time we should have a substantial drone army to combat the threat and we will suffer massive collateral damage from their "precision strikes".

For that you might want to look into the history of the Archons. Jay Weidner has done some amazing research and is a good place to start looking.

Yes Ellirum113, that is an excellent thought! Also points out what must be the real reason for all of the secrecy relative to UFO's and Aliens - secrecy because "guvments" don't want "THEM" to know how much is known about "THEM"!! And all along we have been mistaken in the thinking that they were keeping it from us, "for our own good"!! :))

I really hate those pics of space debris. They are SOOOOOO out of scale it is phenomenal! If They were drawn to scale, the bits would be invisible if the whole globe is viewed, and would not be seen until a very small portion of the globe is in background.
Its wholly disingenuous.
I would like to toss 8Man an opton. Just a thought of what could have happened and why the pause.
If we were to look back to 47 and then forwards many Alien things have happened and then seemed to stop. Is it at all possible that we are winning that space war? Has the US spent trillions on defence we don't know about to fight them off? We saw a shot from the ground go after a saucer n space. We have taken many of them down with radar and rockets. Are we using their own tech to beat them?
I know a lot of that sounds like sci-fi but what if it is really true. In the states children and adults were going missing all over the place. Has that number now dropped? With a BIG MAYBE, is the US really protecting the world and we don't know it yet. I know that is a far fetched pipe dream but it should be on the table as an option. One side of the equasion. And the big boys don't like to share their toys so other countries are in the dark until they get to a certain point themselves.
Just an idea.......
Deuem
I think that whatever adapted Alien tech they have, it is likely to be quite limited. If we believe the Gary McKinnon stuff, he saw only a few space-going craft assigned to the US and the UK. Also, I think their funds are limited because they need to keep the black budget confidential. I get the impression that the reputed TR-3B while remarkable to us, is still pretty basic compared to Alien stuff - and none of this fends off interdimensional Alien stuff, if that's real.
If they really do fund secret stuff with drug dealing internationally, then a loss of US hegemony (as 'protection') as well as the legalization of drugs tends to wreck that arrangement. There are some recent shocking allegations about the murder of 'Kiki' Camarena being actually done by the CIA and not Mexican cartels.
Another possible aspect of an Alien presence? It probably needs a whole thread on its own but what the heck is the deal with Latin Americans (in particular) seeing flying humanoids? Eyewitness claims, freaky YouTube videos, etc. Some of them seem to be wearing a belt or framework and zipping around. Timothy Good talks about this stuff, too and claims the Aliens have gadgets to do this. HeadShrink types may relate this to legends or traditional stories of brujas.
Anyhow, I think if we all agree that there has been a big change in Aliens interfacing with humans (or the lack thereof) in recent years, then we should consider hypotheses as to why this has happened and what it means to us.
I don't think it takes trillions of dollars to make a new tank. The Industrial Military Complex is up to something. Having it black only brings in more questions. What would happen if say NASA or Education had that budget? We are spending billions/trillions on what? That amount of money is war time money yet the standard military is laying off people and closing bases. It does not add up unless you take into the picture that something is going wrong somewhere and they are working at a fever pace to stop it or prepare for it.
That something might just be "they know" and want to do it also. No wars, just greed and lust.

http://www.safekids.com/2013/05/10/five-myths-about-missing-children/
Oh, and actual 'stereotypical' kidnapping of children in the US is quite minimal. I remember a good scifi novel by Damon Knight, 'A Plague Of Demons' in which Aliens steal the brains of missing in action soldiers all across history to use in giant robot warriors for intergalactic wars.
A good read but why kidnap 'free range humans' if you have the tech (and vats) to create exactly the sort of humanoids you need?

So why waste the time looking for that maybe one out of a million true ones?
If it is a valid sighting... it will soon stick :D
QuoteA good read but why kidnap 'free range humans' if you have the tech (and vats) to create exactly the sort of humanoids you need?
Yea they might have the tech to make something but to create an exact copy they can move into or reproduce with is in question. Lets say they took their limit and now they are leaving us alone, till next time. Then what. I guess no matter how large their ships could be, at sometime they get full.

Synchronicity strikes again. It is hunting season around my area. If you are suggesting a hypothesis that Aliens have bagged their limit and left - then I have to ask when these open seasons have opened up thruout history.
In addition, I would avoid human "venison" that is contaminated with pesticides, radioactivity or contagious disease.
Indeed, please consider all of the Alien encounters that seem to involve some sort of 'decontamination' before the hapless human gets into the Alien craft (especially the Boas case that involved sex - You don't want any of that human 'STD' contaminating your vats) - or Aliens themselves wearing some sort of protective suit.
H.G. Wells had a point, I think. We're germy and icky. It is said that the Tall Whites claim not to like cute n' fuzzy animals at all and did away with them on their world. Aliens also have been reported avoiding proximity or physical contact with humans.
There IS one plausible reason for repeated waves of abduction sessions...
ALIEN BIOLOGY 101
Back in high school we dissected frogs ... live... in biology class. A gruesome thing, but you were not allowed to opt out back then...
So imagine if you will... classes of alien exobiology students coming here to study...
... and just like our frog cutting classes, every year there was a new class :D
Just food for thought :D
::)
Population of a new planet with sanctioned beings.
Maybe that is what happened here!
Food for thought #2
How many people go missing every year without a trace, ever.....
I picked up a contact a while ago from a dying internet friend.
When my friend karked it unexpectedly early it seemd the right thing to tell his "contact" what had happened, and so his contact became my contact.
Now, I have assumed that my contact is more than likely creating his version of reality as he goes along, but my mate believed in him, and so I listen and try to give what ever I can.
HE tells me that a couple of years back his lot chucked in the towel, or at least split for home for something of a rethink (he isn't sure), because continued interaction with us was corrupting their millenia old matriarchal based rigid social structures...
So we are even Psychologically "germy" it would seem.. :c)
FB.
A Rethink? Exactly. Given the contrast of Utterly Naïve Aliens acting like ignorant tourists in a 3rd world country ( as in Timothy Good's book), it's hard to imagine how a rethink can be avoided.
And a population of sanctioned beings? Yeah, kinda. But since none of the Doom n' Gloom threats that would eliminate us Unsanctioned Humans ever materialize, I still gotta think they may have a nicer plan in mind...
at least, before they give up completely. So, we're on Plan B, I think.

Let us consider that many of the reports from abductees state that the visitors are telepathic; is it possible that all the emp does indeed interfere with the control systems and perhaps with their communications mentally?

Don't forget human consciousness. We know that EM radiation at certain frequencies effects human consciousness. If many researchers are correct and at least some of what is reported as contact with other intelligences and UFO sightings are linked to human consciousness then we don't even need to speculate about how it effects so called aliens.
my two cents..
i think the disconnect is with our systems more than theirs...
(if there even is a theirs.?)
our receptor channels are off line
how hard has it been for you to meditate ..or sometimes even think clearly in certain places?
brain fog seems to be a real problem ..that's just my observation lately
If we accept what Pinker says about the history of violence, then most folks in the developed world are doing better than ever. Scandinavians are a model of social justice and don't wear pointy helmets or hack people to death anymore. So, consciousness-wise, we must be doing better.
Let me throw this out there: what has always firmly stood in the way, ever since WW2 ? The governments - and especially the US government. These are the obstacles and mass visitations might only trigger a false flag sort of 9/11, given that we are ruled by greedy sociopaths.
Plan B might involve some sort of mass de-legitimizing of governments, especially the US.
And coincidentally..........how do things seem to be heading on that score?

Alternatively, the channelled claims that we would get mass landings were not made by beings who come from other planets in the first place. They are the same "beings" who:-
1. Tell a religious person that Jesus will soon return or claim to be an angel or similar.
2. Tell a Spiritualist they are your dead aunt.
3. Tell an Occultist they are an ascended master or an Egyptian priest/God.
4. Tell a New Ager they are a 5th dimensional Plaiadian.
5. Tell a Native American they are a spirit animal
You get the idea. Is it not clear that the phenomenon adapts itself to the consciousness of the recipient. And don't even start me off on the examples that are from a very human source.
That's Jacques Vallee stuff and it's a big part of the puzzle. Masters of Deception and so on.
I've wondered if many of these cases involve some sort of false memory being triggered.
The current opinion on New Age sites seems to be More Sightings But No Visitations (even as I read just this morning on American Kabuki)
However, the record of the USAF in particular is clear. Deny, deny.... Human governments remain the obstacle. The peak of willing Disclosure (I think) was the COMETA report in France - representing officials opinion but technically unofficial as a whole.
Religions would mostly be an obstacle as well but their influence is limited. The Vatican seems oddly OK with it.
A further part of the puzzle is why Aliens seemed so willing to visit humans openly in ancient cultures but not now (??).
I think the "Government As (potential blue beam) Obstacle" idea explains the Ancient Alien paradox pretty well. In the past, with ancient religions dominating, it's perfectly OK to show up as Dogon or Quetzalcoatl or Some Other Agent Of Culture. The Gods have favored us.....
At the same time, take a hard look at the Hebrew interpretation of this: Genesis 6 and the book of Enoch. These helpful aliens were seen as nasty demons, rebellious angels.
So, this takes us into the 21st century in which Hollywood is eager to see them as invaders and the governments are likely willing to encourage such a notion to maintain their power.

What if the ancients were right and you're wrong? These "beings" could be misinterpreted as aliens or both cultures could be wrong.
Philip Coppens is worth a read.
QuoteThis, and other "UFO incidents", did not evolve around whether or not UFOs were alien spacecraft, or, whether or not, ET crashed in Roswell and the Air Force put his tiny, grey body on ice. The UFO psychological warfare was a display by a small group of people, who pretended to have a big secret; a big secret they pretended to have the power to shield from the public as a whole, and the President and his entourage in specific. It was a mechanism whereby even the President was led to believe there were men somewhere in his government whom he had to fear tremendously. The latter was true - but not because they were in possession of alien beings. In truth, it was - and is - nothing more than an exercise in power, in which a myth was created, then promoted, then apparently covered-up, even though each cover-up was a confirmation of the existence of the myth, so that we would believe. In truth, it was an empty secret...
http://www.philipcoppens.com/ufo_overlords.html
The real phenomenon has been blurred by these strange activities to the point where we have discussions about political motives of extraterrestrials who are no such thing.
What then is the 'phenomena' at its most basic? Coppens would say that all of it is false - no crashes, no Roswell, no bodies, no visitations, nothing to see here, folks.
Is the claim of the military-industrial complex having such Alien tech completely false? Or partly true? Are we then seeing a 'pause' because the deception no longer suits them?
And in similar fashion, did the Soviets and others engage in the deceptions in their own homelands, for the same reasons?

At the moment this makes the most sence. It even makes sence if there were never any aliens and all of it was a cover up to hide z-guberment skunk work projects. In the early days they must have been making a lot of mistakes that they have no ironed out and are flying very high now. Minimum 100,000 feet then out to space.
Maybe if there are still aliens around they are dealing with them out in space or on the Moon. The CGI people are doing there best to fill in the missing gaps. I would not under-estimate the power of trillions of dollars spent and what that can really do.
It would take a major crash in a city to bring one of these to the light of day.
When the USA made a law that said they could test weapons on their own people then anything became possible. They do what they want where and when they want. The only reason why any of this is getting out is because it would cause a panic of the people if they were hit cold with it say 50 years from now. The future will tell us, no one else.

I think they were afraid to admit that the russians had saucers .so they just said they were aliens to keep us distracted from the truth.roswell may be real though.xfiles did an episode where they hinted that grays were created by jap scientist.its hard to belive that we didnt seize any tech from japan but did seize piles from germany.

The problem with Japan is that they were very limited on resources (at the end of the war they had many ships and aeroplanes stopped for lack of fuel), so most things were little more than ideas, so it's hard to know what those ideas may have turned into.

Hi Sinny, I don't know how covert that operation would be in the daytime with a big shinny disk and Orbs. Maybe you were brought back and you woke up quick. Chances are it had nothing to do with you and you scared them away. Like Robo daid, did something else pull them there that you don't know about yet.. Minerals ? Water ? Was anything mising ? cat dog birds plants? Did any plants die later ? Do animals now avoid the area ? Anything strange besides them bing there ? What does a compass do in that area ? Maybe there is a Line there in the Earth.
I can see that CIA directed deceptions could be part of the picture. How does that explain the lack or pause in visitations? We're talking about actual encounters, not just mistaking an SR-71 for an Alien craft.
I notice that critics refer to 'psychological ops' in regard to some of the better UFO encounters but what does that mean? Just really good lying? Or miraculous holographic technology?
These visitations have apparently gone on since the dawn of history - leading to strange "airships" and then our more familiar flying saucers and cigars. The shift in appearances is interesting to speculate about, not only in craft but reports that the creatures within can project what appearances they wish. (Timothy Good was told that 9 -10 ft tall aliens could mingle and not be noticed)
If we hypothesize that these Black budget guys want to be a sort of protected Alien Tech priesthood, I can see some logic there - did Corso conveniently die of a heart attack just before hard testimony? They may be ruthless, in any case.
This still leaves us with things such as the McKinnon claims and details about the TR-3/Flying Triangle. If real, you would have to believe that the technology exposed therein was home grown completely, rather then a product of indirect Alien help, if one wishes to dismiss all visitations.

Haha, there's nothing in my Ma's back garden apart from my small mammal cemetary, i.e - my dead Rabbits and Guinea Pigs.. Nothing of interest whats so ever.
The day of the first silver orb, me and a friend were actually joking about UFO's whilst looking out my window.
Second orb was caught on camera whilst we observed another Orb in the distance following/being followed by jets. The orb was caught above my tree, watching us, watching them apparently.
And the saucer just appeared, and watched me watch it.
If I had to guess at the motives of these 'probes' it would be THEM obeserving OUR reaction to them.
I'd find it comical too lol.
Nope, no strangeness in the area, Flora & Fauna remain the same.
No Idea about the compass - I didn't have one :)
