A question for all...

Okay.  Mind control by non-terrestrials has been posited by some.  If one views that argument as plausible, the uptick in UFO related media could be a low level attempt at letting us know they're out there.  It's also possible that UFO related media is the "flavor of the month."  I think it's more plausible that generations younger than a lot of us have grown up with the idea that we're not alone in the multiverse.  They have grown up with technology that we saw on The Jetsons and Star Trek.  I think, for a lot of them, non-terestrials are just neighbors we haven't met yet.

Is that one of our ads?
First time I've seen that.

That is a possibility,Shasta, but it would be easier to just come forward and say that we aren't alone, don't you think?

Too much effort being put into it for it to be a flash in the pan; more likely the long run of shows like ancient aliens has finally got the point across that people are interested and looking for answers

Television, movies, and video games have programmed everyone for the last 50 years to think of alien races and animals as being part of their everyday norm...

we shall see

And that's what media companies are looking for, a market, so they can get more money.

11 years ago I posted on YouTube a video of the "tether incident", when the tether holding the tethered satellite launched by STS-75 broke and started coiling back to its original shape. I received a copyright notice from someone that represented a media company saying that I got the footage from their DVD. They didn't want me to remove the video, they wanted to receive money from my posting of the video. When I told them I didn't know the names of the two companies involved (UFO Global Media LLC and Paranormal Media LLC) they told me they own many productions and that their principals were a "former president of CBS, president of Sony and CEO of PAxton" and a known producer.

That showed me that companies that we think are small and independent are really associated with the big media companies

Yes, they want to milk that cash cow for every drop they can squeeze 

Something is shaking around all this new interest and the new programs being aired; Contact and Alien Highway are actually fairly interesting, but I still have to contemplate why all these new shows are appearing now...

Perhaps they think that now is the time to move things a step forward in the public eye...

THESE ADS:


















































[The Seeker]

Thor, I hate to tell you this, but those meta ads you just posted all those screen caps of do not show when I read those posts; to the best of my knowledge, there are no meta ads in any of my posts, signature line, etc.; I didn't place any anywhere on the forum, and I am not aware of anyone else doing so

[ArMaP]

That "Ads by MapsTreck" text on the ads says it all.

Searching for that text shows that it's adware that got installed on your computer.

Very good, ArMaP; any suggestions for an easy fix to eliminate this adware? And is there any chance that this adware/malware can infiltrate the forum? Any precautionary measures we need to take?

That's NASA footage. The owners are the citizens of the United States.

Post whatever you want.

TY ArMaP:
Can I get rid of it?

[ArMaP]

Very good, ArMaP; any suggestions for an easy fix to eliminate this adware?

Here are some instructions on how to remove it.

And is there any chance that this adware/malware can infiltrate the forum? Any precautionary measures we need to take?

I don't think it can affect the forum, as it's something that is installed on the user's computer to intercept the browser's displaying of web pages, so it can inject the ads. It's not made to run on a server.

[ArMaP]

That's NASA footage. The owners are the citizens of the United States.

Exactly, but they were saying that they used that footage on a DVD and that I got the footage from there. If that was the case then I couldn't use the video, as I would be using copyrighted material. Copyright laws are a little confusing, but I think that, although NASA footage (or any other work created by the US government or related organisations) is in the public domain, any work done that uses it has its own copyright, so if the creators do not want to put in the public domain they can.

Post whatever you want.

The question was never if I could post it or not, they wanted to put adverts along with my post so they could get money from it. I sent the link from where I got the video to YouTube to show them where I got the video from, and, as far as I know, they didn't get the chance to get money from my post.
