its standard for a lot of us now but as theres a new alien story in the news its worth considering, if you never have, that even with zero previous assumptions, the ‘conventional’ aliens narrative literally makes zero sense.

the standard narrative here is the most implausible.

the idea that there is a race or cohort of physical beings who can makes ships that travel across light years through space, and that they do this often, to earth, to do basically nothing but fly around and occasionally scare people, then leave

is already nonsensical

but then

you also have to believe that sometimes these ships crash, and the parts are just left here. theyre not smart enough to travel in packs or even pairs on these trans-universe journeys.

and then the government is able to collect these parts, basically unhindered.

lmao. ok.

these journeys are important enough to make, across the universe, over and over, for decades, but not important enough to have any protocols about or to actually do anything on other than accidentally get discovered by the government after appearing randomly to pilots and farmers

the framing of it is so strong that any ‘normal’ person who even touches the UFO phenomenon now essentially always takes this frame and adopts it in total. UFOs are already packaged in such a way that its hard to zoom out and realize that this literally is completely nonsensical.

the idea that aliens are actually what we call supernatural (not simply physical beings) or, properly stated imo, that theyre an extension of the demonological phenomenon, has only recently made a dent in the conversation (which just happened in the last few years btw).

so now, if thats addressed, thats framed as the narrative that requires a ton of prior assumptions and worldview baggage.

but its the total opposite.

you would never come to the above conclusion naturally at this time of you really looked it all over, because it makes no sense.

ur still stuck with the problem of squaring hyper literally interstellar competency with apparent incompetency

in my opinion its way easier to incorporate an element of intentional deception or “messing with people”, + then ur playing more on my turf (malevolent entities)

imo

the last thing which is only my intuition based on my own studies is, personally i believe the “literal aliens traveling in ships” narrative was easier - and developed - when people could think they were from closer planets

its a lot harder to square with full on galactic travel

this is just my own intuition based on a variety of things. mars is pretty close, you can imagine a ‘ship’ coming from there. but once our tech advanced, the story kind of changed and they had to be from the pleiades, or places millions and millions of miles away.

the question of “what is it” (how do you explain the UFO phenomenon) is harder to go into because most normal people only consider “is it real” (is the UFO phenomenon real)

totally different things
