In all probability, it is unlikely that we are not alone in the universe, but the idea that aliens have visited Earth is highly unlikely. What is disturbing is the denial of technologies that people have genuinely witnessed or experienced being superficially dismissed as conspiracy theory or psychological aberrations.    

There are people who have had very real experiences, even if they could not explain them or were manipulated into interpreting those experiences in ways that would discredit them. And what if people really were abducted by perpetrators dressing as “aliens”, as appearing in popular culture, as a means of hiding identity. Maybe it’s not exposure of “alien” activities that people need to fear.

Extraterrestrials may not be behind UFOs and while many sightings of unidentified phenomena may have been optical illusions or misunderstandings, it is a fact that technologies are developed by very terrestrial beings that do not just suddenly spontaneously generate or materialise from nowhere. From stealth bombers to lethal AI-operated drones, new technologies are designed and tested, usually in remote locations, sometimes for years before finally being deployed more openly, and it may well be that these are what certain people may have witnessed.

Most of these technologies are the stuff of science fiction – right up until they’re on the open market and the main cause for concern is the superficial dismissal of genuine experiences as either “typical conspiracy theory stuff” or “psychological aberrations”.

A good recent example is “Havana Syndrome”. What I notice is that, whether the technologies being referred to are real or not, people who should know better in general and know nothing of the people describing their experiences in particular, are being very quick to discredit them and with the typical lack of logic that often accompanies such ready dismissals. “No-one else is experiencing it”, they say, “so it must be ‘anxiety’ or ‘nervousness’ of an individual”. Two or more people report it, but instead of that being considered corroborative information, it’s then “mass hysteria”. The question is – why the denial of even the possibility that such technologies may exist, instead of immediately concluding that the ONLY possibility is “It’s psychological”, especially when psychiatrists who have actually met these people say it isn’t. That’s bad science and that concerns everyone.

A psychologist can’t say if someone’s being stalked or bombarded with infrasonic or whatever “invisible” weapons on the basis of psychological theory; only physics can do that. Material observation must come first to determine whether what people are saying is true or not. Then, and only then, can psychological explanations be sought for non-material experiences, if that turns out to be the case. That’s such an obviously scientifically, forensically correct approach, no wonder theories abound as to why it’s not being taken. I contend that the question as to why the obvious approach is not being taken may well be causing as much “anxiety” as the thought of such weapons themselves.
