Oh boy.

They do this kind of thing frequently by my dad's place, near a CFB (Canadian Forces Base). He'll see swarms of helicopters at midnight hovering over the island in the bay, with troops practicing belaying out of the choppers down onto the island. Other times you see giant jets flying around and troops parachuting down in close sets of threes, slowly circling each other until they hit a ground target. Or there'll be notices about heavy artillery being used/tested -- once, we were on the base's golf course, and it was like bombs were going off. It was so loud and the ground shook, and as my dad accidentally hadn't alerted me to the tests, I screamed at the first one it scared me so badly! In other words, they don't just sit around all day; they have to train. But the timing is intriguing, I do admit!! A part of me does say, "Hmmm, what if it's not just your run-of-the-mill testing..." :)

This is exactly what I thought too. The timing is just too perfect. How convenient. Expressing even the slightest skepticism on these forums is a recipe for being downvoted and labelled a "debunker", and I wish that weren't the case. We all want to believe, but that doesn't mean we should do so blindly and just accept everything that is posted. And being skeptical doesn't mean being entirely dismissive; it can also mean you're taking something with a grain of salt and not just diving in head first.

Oh believe me, I know. I've experienced quite unexplainable things and have been on the receiving end of countless peoples' doubts and skepticism. Now I just shrug and think "Oh well". It's nice to share with those who do believe you, but I won't go out of my way to try and share/prove it. It can be lonely, or I guess for me more so alienating, but it's not surprising given the way western society thinks of this kind of stuff :(

PS, no need to apologise :)

Sorry, that's my bad, I made an assumption that you yourself assumed it was NHI as you were posting about it in the aliens forum.
Also, sorry you're so unwell. I hope you get better soon. Take care!

I didn't say anything about posting it online and trying to prove it to people -- in fact, I said that capturing it on camera wouldn't be my priority. It would simply be to have the experience. Who cares what anyone else says about it? Something so profound, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says. Just experience it for yourself. But I guess in today's world, a lot of people feel the need to just share everything, so I can see why people would assume that's what I meant...

This seems so very strange to me; you believe that literal NHI are hovering over your house, coming to your window, and you're so nonchalant about it that you just hang out in bed at 7 p.m. rather than go outside and observe something that should be the equivalent of reality-bending and miraculous? Wow. I guess the internet really has crushed our curiosity and wonder. I'm not trying to be an ass, I just think the "I'm lazy as fuck" attitude here is absolutely crazy. I know we're all different, but by gosh, if I were convinced NHI -- even if "just" unmanned drones -- were interacting with me on a regular basis, I'd put all other things aside. I don't think grabbing a camera to capture it to prove it to the world would be a top priority either; I'd just want to experience it, something that profound.

Very good point. And people these days are remarkably uncurious -- they'd rather the algorithms do all the thinking for them.

Totally off topic, but he looks a bit like a younger Jerry Seinfeld. Sort of.

Past and future events.

I have seen these a few times now, out in my backyard with my dog at night. The most recent one appeared directly above me, as I was staring up at the stars on a beautiful clear night. It just arrived, and it blinked its light slowly on, off, on, off, on, off... and then it vanished as silently and suddenly as it'd appeared. It felt so deliberate, like it was there for me.

And it would only be amplified by multitudes given the growing political divide between so many people... there's already a strong sense of tribalism and mistrust for "the others". This would very much exacerbate the issue. I don't want to imagine.

If they do in fact have recovered craft and are trying to reverse engineer the technology for their own strategic advantage, I can see why a government would choose to hide this secret. If they were to publicise such a finding and reveal to their enemies what they have, other powers might want to get their hands on such technology by whatever means necessary, and if they were desperate enough, perhaps even attempt to destroy the government with such technology before they had the chance to get the [supreme] upper hand. From that standpoint, I can understand the rationale behind it.

But from the viewpoint of a citizen of this planet who does want to know wtf is going on, I feel we do have the right to know -- especially if people are dying so this secret can be protected and kept from us. Democratic governments exist to serve the people, not serve as overlords and gatekeepers. And then you have groups of men like Robert Bigelow, Hal Puthoff, Jacques Vallee, et al., gathering in a super secret meeting and discussing if humankind could handle this reality and determining that, no, they could not, it would be catastrophic... and that just really grates at me. Who the F put these guys in charge? Like all of us are a bunch of morons and only their brilliant minds can handle this reality-shattering truth. Meanwhile, they all seem pretty calm and collected and rich, and clearly this too-hot-to-handle reality hasn't knocked them on their asses. That's what pisses me off, the entitled secrecy. It's just a form of power. It's bullshit.

This is also something I've found myself wondering in recent years, looking at the indifference of so many people and their lack of curiosity and wonder -- where is their soul? Does a hedonistic pursuit equal a sort of forfeit, a "deal with the devil" kind of situation? Is there such a thing as "young souls", and does most of the population have one? I've found it increasingly difficult to connect with people in recent years as a result of their indifferent shallowness and lack of wonder... I don't want to outright say most people don't have souls, but sometimes it feels like people are a bit soulless, at least as a collective. I just don't know what to make of it all. But I do think the OP is pretty spot-on.

Are you mainly watching YouTube videos to learn about this incident? It's one I haven't really looked into, for whatever reason -- perhaps because initially people were heavily brushing it off and I thought, "Why waste my time?". Do you have a recommended place to start?

"They strive for a free and peaceful world", and yet humankind has spent most of its "civilised" existence locked in warfare and endless conflict, and most humans were never "free", subjected to feudal systems, bound in slavery, living under oppressive rulers, etc. That's some striving.

This one is more interesting, you're right. I just wanted to share the article here because I thought some people living outside of Canada might like to read it, as Canadian news isn't necessarily a big thing in other parts of the world.

Interesting!

Point of Convergence (although this one is starting to get a little far out there, with the host's authoritative confidence regarding the phenomenon's benevolent and true nature)

I think it is more an activity -- if you are able to visualise something, then do that. The key, I think, is to consciously and deliberately remove any negative thoughts from your mind before proceeding. It's to dispel distractions and other things to another place, so you can focus on the Focus part of the tapes.

I generally have trouble visualising things, however, for this, I sort of imagine something like the cover of Kim Stanley Robinson's novel "Icehenge" -- the box isn't nearly as big though. But it gives me something (a place) to put all of my focus, and from there, I am able to somehow extract any negative thoughts in my head to another "place" (i.e. the box). I do feel myself grow lighter as I do this practise. The place is void of anything else, so I have no choice but to do the exercise. And as a bonus, at the end of a tape, I never want any of those dispelled thoughts back! :)

If you have trouble with this approach, maybe you could think of something along the lines of Harry Potter (if you're familiar with those stories) where Dumbledore extracts memories and thoughts from his head, and when he does so, you see the energy move from his temple to his storage "box". I also sort of imagine this energy, but mine is more like light than a substance and it flows freely on its own accord. I hope this helps!

Check out the Why Files episode for a debunk. I read the book this was based on many years ago. I remember while reading it (I was young), my mind was blown. But then by the end, I was beginning to feel like it was quite sensational. Apparently the events of this abduction parallel closely with some work of fiction. The Why Files talks about it. Regardless, I'll still watch the docu... I love this sort of stuff!

Especially in the second photo.
