Aliens in the Media (Page 7 of 14)

I was in Toys R Us and I noticed the "Bratz" line of dolls.  More "grey alien" looking things.

This article takes the approach of "Nothing to see here, move along."

It was on http://news.bbc.co.uk/.  At least the issue of UFOs was addressed - that is more than is generally seen in mainstream US news media.

UFO study finds no sign of aliens

The 400-page report was kept secret for six years

Alleged UFO sightings
A confidential Ministry of Defence report on Unidentified Flying Objects has concluded that there is no proof of alien life forms.

In spite of the secrecy surrounding the UFO study, it seems citizens of planet Earth have little to worry about.

The report, which was completed in 2000 and stamped "Secret: UK Eyes Only", has been made public for the first time.

Only a small number of copies were produced and the identity of the man who wrote it has been protected.

His findings were only made public thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, after a request by Sheffield Hallam University academic Dr David Clarke.

The four-year study - entitled Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK - tackles the long-running question by UFO-spotters: "Is anyone out there?"

The answer, it seems, is "no".

The 400-page report puts it like this: "No evidence exists to suggest that the phenomena seen are hostile or under any type of control, other than that of natural physical forces."

It adds: "There is no evidence that 'solid' objects exist which could cause a collision hazard."

So if there are no such things as little green men in spaceships or flying saucers, why have so many people reported seeing them?

Well, here is the science bit.

"Evidence suggests that meteors and their well-known effects and, possibly some other less-known effects are responsible for some unidentified aerial phenomena," concludes the report.

Unidentified Flying Object
Meteors may have been responsible for some UFO sightings

"Considerable evidence exists to support the thesis that the events are almost certainly attributable to physical, electrical and magnetic phenomena in the atmosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere.

"They appear to originate due to more than one set of weather and electrically-charged conditions and are observed so infrequently as to make them unique to the majority of observers."

People who claim to have had a "close encounter" are often difficult to persuade that they did not really see what they thought they saw. The report offers a possible medical explanation.

"The close proximity of plasma related fields can adversely affect a vehicle or person," states the report.

"Local fields of this type have been medically proven to cause responses in the temporal lobes of the human brain. These result in the observer sustaining (and later describing and retaining) his or her own vivid, but mainly incorrect, description of what is experienced."

There are, of course, other causes of UFOs - aeroplanes with particularly bright lights, stray odd-shaped balloons and strange flocks of birds, to name but a few.

Unidentified Flying Object
The report admits its findings will not persuade everyone

Yet, it will be difficult to convince everyone that there is a rational explanation for all mysterious movements in the sky.

Some UFO-spotters believe governments will always cover up the truth about UFOs, because they are afraid of admitting that there is something beyond their control.

It is not clear how much time and effort the MoD has spent looking at the skies in recent years, but it appears there are no plans for an in-depth UFO report like the one written in 2000.

A MoD spokesperson said: "Both this study and the original "Flying Saucer Working Party" [already in public domain in the national Archives] concluded that there is insufficient evidence to indicate the presence of any genuine unidentified aerial phenomena.

"It is unlikely that we would carry out any future studies unless such evidence were to emerge."

Oh, the point was about the alien-savior connection, that here is Madonna looking like an alien and "like she's landing on the spaceship from E.T" while "descend[ing] to the stage on the glittering disco-ball crucifix". I thought it was uncanny because of a dream I had several years ago that went through an alien contact scenario where nordics in golden jumpsuits arrived as our saviors and functioned as the PR team for the reptilians. I realized since that dream that this would be a workable scenario. What average human would become xenophobic about sexy blond humanoids, golden and radiant like olympian gods? And that if this were the plan, there would be preparatory stages preceding it to condition us to the alien-savior idea, which is exactly what's been happening with the Exopolitics/Greer/Boylan/Webre thing as well as pop stars like Robbie Williams, and perhaps Madonna, plus others we'll hear from in the future doing their part. I just find it interesting, that's all.

If only the final score could be settled with an alien vs. human dance-off.

I came across this today on a fashion blog:

The NYT hack also reports that "...a call has gone out for models to suit the new interplanetary look, that is, for women who resemble aliens. The latest types to find favor with designers have tiny heads, upturned noses, enormous eyes and undeveloped chins. They are said to "look 50's," as do many of the season's clothes. If so, it is not the 1950's of ripe cinema goddesses but the decade of the adorable Z-movie geeks who appeared in films like "Plan 9 from Outer Space..."

This casting call went out in 2004 and two years later ALIEN CHIC (that's what the fashionistas are calling it!) is all the rage. Gemma Ward is their official poster child. What freaks me out, is that I find this look appealing. But, if you'd shown me Gemma’s picture, say, when I was 16 years old, I would've thought she was awkward. See... it's working!

Gemma Ward.  Yeah she's kind of hot.  Damn, why do they have to play dirty?!

I think it's programming.  I've noticed a clear disconnect between women that look like Gemma, and more natural looking women, in terms of the first glance.  Something about the "hybrid look" just automatically grabs my attention.  Now upon second glance, I notice the thin hair, anorexic, unhealthy qualities that you've described, and that kind of grosses me out.

No complaints on that here!

I think they do play dirty.  I feel myself being subtly programmed (maybe through the media, maybe other methods), to be attracted to these 'hybridish' qualities, against my will.  Definite agenda there, for my money's worth.  The real me wants and is naturally attracted to curves.

One time I dated a 'hybrid' of another kind... she was half engish/norwegian, and have Chinese.  She was what I could only describe as "hot" (like many mixed ethicities).  But not someone I would like to settle down with.  It's not that she was slutty or anything... just... there is becoming more and more of a destinction between the two 'types' I think.  Anyways, long story short, she was and is an energy vampire.  We only went out 3 or 4 times.  She got me into smoking weed (she'd make me "want" to), and then we'd go back to her place and relax and watch tv... one time she even said "mmm, your energy feels good."  Well that was about it for me.  She also said she went to 'triple-6 parties' but was a Christian.  Yea, uh huh, whatever.  We also never went past 2nd base, but it was me "2nd basing" her and not the other way around.  Total OP.  Possible alien hybrid of some sort - either at the physical level or soul leve or both.  They are often very attractive, not just in the media.  (She had a crazy ambition to be a famous singer and had a definite superiority complex.)  Last thing, she was paranoid about "them" watching her through her TV, and said she had some episodes with this, like the TV turning on in the middle of the night, etc.  She said she thought people were trying to steal her creative ideas.  Whatever, crazy bitch.  hehe... i mean... ahem... lol
