I just came back from another informal UFO gathering, a Milwaukee pot-luck where two speakers shared fascinating information.
The first individual spoke of his extensive research into the 509th composite group, the group that was intimately involved in the dropping of the two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What surprised him as he assembled and interviewed various participants was how varied everyone's memories were of those momentous events. He mentioned the fact that recent reunions have not always gone smoothly, as certain individuals heatedly contested prior events as claimed by others. The writer/researcher's conclusion: Much of what has been written and subsequently published in popular books by historians have quite naturally been extracted from the testimonies and memories of these individuals who themselves can no longer agree amongst themselves as to what exactly happened. Of far more interest to me was the second individual, a UFO abductee/experiencer. I thought she was an intelligent and perceptive individual. Her abduction descriptions were the typical "abduction" scenario: eggs being collected, viewing and interacting with hybrids. She was also shown images of horrible global disasters that will happen to our planet if we don't mend our ways. This is all standard stock footage of the UFO abductee kind. Her experiences are also multi-generational in the sense that the abductions are now happening to her daughter, and possibly her grandchild as well. It is not my objective to either prove or disprove the veracity of these abduction claims. I will only say that she is among many who have experienced remarkably similar events - in the vacuum of cross-checking and collaborating with other "abductees" order to makes sure everyone gets their "stories" straight. I will, however, offer some personal eccentric conjecture here in that, IMHO, attempts by both believers and debunkers to legitimize (or debunk) these abductions experiences as allegedly "real" (or not) sometimes seems to miss the mark. I've come to the suspicion that way too much effort is being put into legitimizing the experience as physical 3-D events, as compared to simply trying to understand and comprehend the complexity of the experience itself. I have little doubt in my own mind, after hearing testimony after testimony that what most of these individuals are experiencing is REALLY being experienced. However, to then attempt to legitimize the experiences as "physically" real, as having happened in the physical sense, I suspect, is doomed to failure because invariably the experiences seem to possess unique qualities that strongly indicate (at least to me) that the experience is operating in a very different sector of reality. We can debate forever what these other realities and/or dimensions could possibly be or be comprised of, but that is for another time. And now... back to the present: Here, we already have disagreement among supposedly observant individuals trained in the rigorous techniques of scientific investigation and rational deductive thinking within the Vort-Collective who cannot agree on whether this alleged UFO video footage is "real" or "fake." I must admit that when I first viewed the video, it looked "real" to me - even as I puzzled over the fact that this was the first "ring" UFO I had ever seen. The ringed UFO also did -seem- to fade away as it abruptly ascended into the clouds. But then Mr. Blanton had to spoil my creative "reality" by posting the follow-up denverpost.com article - and suddenly my perspective on the matter, my personal "reality" of the experience shifted into a different dimension, a dimension that is the more commonly referenced one, the one where you and I can operate in collectively, the reality where we are allowed to post emails and converse back and forth within in the "physical" sense. The reality I pay my bills in. In the end, I suspect each and every single one of us will prescribe whatever "reality" we personally feel is most important to manifest in regards to what actually transpired. It doesn't matter if it was a mysterious intelligently operated "ring" originating from a galaxy, far far away, or whether it originated from a mysterious sector of the universe known as Wall-Mart. What is more important is the fact that the experience, its manifestation, has impacted many creatures in significant ways across our insignificant planet. I think we tend to lose site of the importance of the "reality" of the experience itself, particularly how multi-dimensional our personal experiences are. I suspect that is the true "reality" we actually operate in. As late author, Jane Robert's, was prone to say many times in her writings: "You create your own reality."
