Are We Alone? Next Question….
By November, there will be approximately 8 billion people on planet Earth. That’s 8 billion fellow human beings! A rhetorical question such as this in the blog title invariably gets asked in the media, or with a headline, a photo cutline, etc., whenever the UFO/UAP topic pops up. But it strikes me as a patently absurd question to ask.
Are the same bungling and brilliant, awful and awesome creatures “out there” in the great beyond? Or does the question ask if The Grays, The Zeta Reticulins, the large praying mantis-like creatures and the Reptilians and the tall, blonde, Norse-like figures that populate countless tales in UFO lore somehow share the cosmos with us?
I don’t know.
What I do know is that Dr. Richard Haines of NASA-Ames documented more than 3,000 pilot sightings of objects under intelligent control – decades ago! That Sgt. Major Robert Dean read an alleged classified government document called "The Assessment" during the 60’s that discussed threats posed by alien activity on Earth, and concluded that no such threats existed, even though the report also said there were many species of “ET” visiting Earth. The document, however, has never been found or made public.
I also know that in 1997, a 40-plus page document was posted on the Rand Corporation's website called “UFOs: What To Do?” written by George Kocher in November of 1968, but never peer-reviewed. Looking at historical sightings as far back as the 1500s to the modern era, including “the large number” of UFOs around atomic and military installations such as White Sands, New Mexico, and the Hanford, Washington, atomic plant, the report contains some telling information about how such sightings should be handled, and later speculates about the possible numbers of intergalactic civilizations that may be far advanced beyond our own.
Given the fact that Earth science and technical development are roughly only 500 years old... “among the populated planets, those younger than the sun would be peopled by beings very much behind us technologically, while those on older planets would be extraordinarily advanced (remember our progress of 500 years and note that some planets could be as much as a few billion years older)....we are left with the possibility of 100,000,000 planets in the galaxy having life forms very much advanced from us.”
That report is 55 years old now.
This summer, Congress continued down its alleged path of disclosure with another public hearing on July 26. This one included explosive exchanges between congressional representatives, and Ryan Graves, Executive Director, Americans for Safe Aerospace [former Navy F-18 fighter pilot], Rt. Commander David Fravor, Former Commanding Officer, Black Aces Squadron, U.S. Navy, and whistleblower, David Grusch, Former National Reconnaissance Officer Representative, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force, Department of Defense. ALL THREE MEN WERE UNDER OATH – and on national broadcasts and streaming platforms.
Congressional minds want to know, Where are the bodies, where are the spacecrafts?
Like many who have followed this subject for a lifetime, none of us could have predicted or expected to hear the kind of startling revelations implied in the questions and revealed in the answers from these courageous witnesses.
Check out Grusch, for one, talking with Congresswoman Mace (R-South Carolina) about the U.S. government -- or some agencies and or individuals within (and without) the government -- having “Biologics” (biological parts or whole entities of “non-human intelligence” (NHI), the latest and greatest in Ufological speak and or military jargon). She asks him where these assets might be found, and he promises to give her a list of both locations and hostile and friendly witnesses.
View this brief (less than 2 minutes) but important exchange of this X/Twitter handle between Mace and Grusch: https://twitter.com/planethunter56/status/1692050239396761992?s=51&t=lrGk1S1haWxJ8nXVJ9dpgA

Nobody could have scripted this unwieldy “truthy” hearing (as Stephen Colbert used to say) and these types of questions and answers in their weirdest or wildest dreams.
But will we ever get the definitive answer to that silly “alone” question? Well, in the meantime, we have each other. For better or worse.
…Biologics!!! My work here is almost done…..
