For me, it’s disappearing. That someday something will happen to me and no one will ever know what it was and where I am. That I will become one of those mysteries you see online and on TV shows. Whenever I think about it I feel nothing but dread.

    Almost certainly not real… :)

    I think there is an extreamly high probability they are real, considering it’s been millions of eye witness reports by now.

    I guess it’s easier to assume every single one of those are just wrong. But if even one of them is right, we have visitors.

    I don’t even understand why people find it so difficult to believe. I keep hearing “yeah they can’t travel here because distance”, as if humans somehow has all the knowledge about space travel despite hardly even understanding how to get to the moon. :)

    Actually we even forgot how to get to the moon. That’s how much we care about space travel. Yet we are experts at it, somehow. :)

    It’s dumb, which is why I assume it has to do with psychological safety mechanisms and that’s why people can’t think rationally about this.

      Not one shred of physical evidence exists to support the hypothesis that earth has been visited by intelligent extraterrestrial life. It’s all fairy tales.

      BTW, the nearest neighboring star is 4.25 light years away. You might want to marinate on that.
