As I’m sure most of you know, James Fox’s new documentary ‘The Program’ recently came out and features coverage of the Grusch hearing and other old news, as well as comments from some new and familiar faces. I’ve noticed the response on this sub has been quite negative as a lot of the documentary is focused on things we as UFO enthusiasts already know about (the hearings, the UAPDA being blocked, etc).

However, I think people are missing the point. This documentary is not for us. It’s for people who are unfamiliar with the UFO topic. You’ve got to remember that the vast majority of people have no idea who Grusch is, or what the UAPDA is. Most people have no idea that a very compelling photograph of a UAP was taken in Calvine, Scotland.

I managed to convince some family to watch the doc the other day. They are reasonable, skeptical people who up until now were very dismissive of UFOs. The idea that the government was concealing NHI visitations from us seemed nonsensical to them. But after watching the documentary, they were blown away. They admitted that they were wrong and that there is very clearly something to the UFO topic, even if they aren’t 100% convinced yet, as they still want hard evidence. And again, these are skeptical people who are not prone to conspiracy thinking.

Specifically, the parts they found most compelling were: the UAPDA mentioning non-human intelligence and then being blocked (this was pretty clear evidence to them that the government is trying to hide something), the Calvine photograph, Grusch’s testimony and Bill Nelson being disingenuous about it, the footage of the Nellis UAP (they’re skeptical of Sands’s story of meeting the alien piloting it but admit that he does not seem to be lying), and finally the sheer number of credible whistleblowers all saying the same thing (the gov has recovered NHI craft).

So, the point I’m trying to make is that yes, the documentary may be disappointing for us UFO enthusiasts. But for people who know very little about UFOs, I think it is a fantastic introduction to the subject and is very compelling. The fact that my skeptical family members admit they were wrong to dismiss UFOs (my sister is now going to call her Congressman to tell him to pass the UAPDA next year!) makes me think that lots of people who watch this documentary will come out thinking that there really is something to this topic, even if they still want hard evidence before making their minds up.

Aside from the endless attempts of debunkers, there is far too much activity happening in a short span of time to write it off as mundane. Orbs, 'drones' they can't supposedly do anything about, spotlights that don't act like normal spotlights, multiple times the activity I would normally see on this boards happening in multiple states and multiple countries. Something is happening. And talking with doubters, they are willing to write it off to our government or Elon (or his brother) or other corporate entities. Well... if forces outside our control continue their disclosure process, it don't matter what the government or other people think. It will come to light regardless;.

I've been following this subject for 40 years. This is different. These are not planes, drones, Venus, spotlights, or other explainable phenomena. I mean.. some of it is, because people are posting every speck of light they see. But something is happening. Debunkers are ignoring the sightings they can't easily explain away (like the Portland sighting where the lights were doing something you could not blame on Starlink), and only attacking stuff that is not 100% provable. Just enjoy the ride. I won't ever feel the need to say "I told you so" or feel like this finally the proof I was waiting for. I only would like some validation, for myself. I think those who are completely dismissive (even Mick), just don't want to accept the truth for their own reasons. I will offer support as I can to those folks, no need to be condensing or "Haha!" to those people imo.

I used to think this perhaps NHI or government activities, but I longer think that. The only thing that remains.. is will they decide we are ready and will reveal themselves, or go back into hiding until we are?

I was outside, grabbing stuff out the car after me and my husband went shopping for our daughter. It was just me and him, of course I saw it first and he didn't so he's been busting my chops since. I saw a freaking ufo and I couldn't believe it. I didn't even have a phone. The weird thing is you could see search lights after I spotted it. It had blueish green lights and it was definitely a ufo I feel crazy but I figured I'd join here and let others know.

I'm sorry I didn't believe any of you who did before, but now I know it's real.

New interview with Tim Burchett by The Hannibal TV.

-He says he thinks some of the drones might be China because some of the parts on them are Chinese-made.

-He says a former high-ranking NASA employee said that orbs defy what they've been taught about how things work.

-He thinks NASA knows something, because they've studied [the orbs], but won't share anything.

-Grusch hasn't been in a scif with congress members to tell them what he knows yet.

-He's stopped going to classified briefings because they just tell him what he already knows from what is publicly available, but because he is briefed on it in a scif, he can't talk about it anymore in public.

I’ve been revisiting Jacques Vallée’s Passport to Magonia lately, and honestly, I can’t stop thinking about how far ahead of his time he was. It’s almost eerie. In 1969, Vallée was already suggesting that UFOs – or “the phenomenon” weren’t just extraterrestrial crafts, but something more elusive. Something that shapeshifts, not just in form, but in meaning.

He drew connections between modern sightings and ancient folklore, suggesting that what people once called faeries or angels might just be the same entities showing up today as glowing orbs or drones.

He had this idea that the phenomenon adapts to fit our cultural lens; like it shows up in whatever form we’re capable of understanding at the time. In the 1800s, they were airships. In the 1950s, they were silver saucers. And now? Orbs, drones, and plasma anomalies caught on high-res cameras.

So… where is Jacques Vallée now?

I can’t help but wonder what he makes of all this, the declassified videos, the social media wave that has people dissecting every blurry clip from their backyard. There’s this collective knowing now, or at least a curiosity that’s louder than ever. The conversations are shifting, and governments are starting to talk without completely talking. Is this the “slow leak” disclosure some people have been predicting?

And if it is… is this part of the phenomenon’s trickster nature too? Is the drip-feed itself just another layer to keep us chasing shadows, thinking we’re getting closer?

Vallée often warned against viewing UFOs too literally. He thought it was more than nuts-and-bolts technology and that the phenomenon might be interacting with consciousness itself. Now that we’re in this weird space where people are filming orbs with their iPhones and posting them online like it’s a Tuesday, I can’t help but feel like Vallée saw this coming.

If anyone has insight into the why now of it all, it’s him.

So seriously… Jacques, if you’re out there, we need you to weigh in.

I heard this boom yesterday morning and assumed it came from the quarry near me. Then I saw this article reporting that it was heard by folks in a 40 mile radius... The Air Force Base reported that they had no activity at this time according to the article. For the sound to cover that range, it would have to come from the sky. Makes me wonder. What do you all think?

Time: 12/26/2024 around 7am Location: Illinois from Edwardsville down to Red Bud

I always thought aliens wouldn't talk to us unless we achieved FTL.

To be honest, is never thought about any other events that would be tantamount to developing "warp drive".

Knocking on the door of an artificial super intelligence is on the same level as warp drive.

A race of being with this level of tech has no interest in anything about us. We have nothing they want. They could make anything they could imagine instantly. We build our houses out of wood ffs. We still use rockets. No chance for discovering FTL anytime soon.

But Ai...

The only reason I can think of for any NHI to involve themselves would be to help us through something. I believe the jump from Ai to AGI to ASI is it.

It seems like they've been living under the ocean for a long time. It's the only place that humans can't get too. Or to be more precise, only billionaires can get to in a single small glass sphere, only to be immediately brought back to the surface.

We do not threaten them. At all. But if we develop ASI, it threatens them. So they're going to slowly ease us into their existence, then they're going to walk us through proper "Values" loading for our AI so it doesn't wipe the planet. Because you know the people in charge would fuck everything up. They'd try to make it favor the billionaire class, and it would rebel.

So to avoid that, the NHI will help create something that will be benevolent and helpful to humanity as a whole.

Am I crazy?

https://shield.ai/hivemind/ Since the idea that these drones are really from Shield AL'S Hive Mind program was put out on tik tok it keeps making sense to me.

Orbs aside- These drones come in many different shapes and sizes- not looking like commercially available drones we have seen already.

100% piloted by AI they would be completely immune from anti-drone technology because there are no commands going from a central location. They also use hydrogen fuel cells so can be in the air for an incredibly long time. This will be part of the news police state as policing slowly is turned over to AI.
