I was talking to my girlfriend about how some people have a shadow person/dark figure and was wondering if Lemmiters would like to share their story so she, and others, get to know about them.

I guess potential trigger warnings.

Also, not sure if it's ok to ask about shadow persons.. leave it to the mods to mod

If UFOs are what it takes to distract idiots from obsessing about trannies and immigrants and whatever this week's hysteria is then yeah I'm fuckin here for it let's go

It's getting a bit late to associate UFOs with idiots, honestly. Both the government and NASA have frontally admitted that there are things flying around that we can't identify. The US just shot down 3 unidentified objects with F22's a few months ago (and no, they were not balloons like the one everyone saw pictures of - no pictures were release of these other objects). Congress is moving forwards with new legislation to force disclosure of secret special access programs related to UFOs, after Grusch's claims, and there will be public hearings soon.

I know the subject has been ridiculed for decades, but no one in congress who has clearance and has been briefed is laughing about it now.

Oh no the idiots I was referring to are the ones who can't stop obsessing over genitals and culture war whining.

I definitely want to see what our government has on aliens though

Sorry! English is not my first language and I misunderstood you.

I was going to comment about this too, glad that you decided to instead. Incredible things are happening with disclosure. The fact that Chuck Schumer's bill includes language on definition of non-human intelligence is insane in and of itself. Insane as in, I never thought this would happen ever. Stuff I thought I'd only see in Sci Fi.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're going to be really disappointed when it turns out it's not aliens. Because it's never aliens. People are fucking idiots.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right. And you are the only smart person in the room. lol.

You clearly don't know what's been happening. Maybe actually look into it a little. Don't know if it's aliens, but it sure as hell is something weird.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I've seen it all, and there's one thing that stand out: the extreme lack of evidence. There's blurry videos of shit that looks a bit weird, that are easily explainable without jumping to fucking aliens, and some dudes that totally swearsies it's for real. Fuck off you absolute cretin.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The physical and sensor evidence is available within special access programs, and at this point no one who as been following the subject doubts that. A lot of members of congress have been briefed on those programs, and they don't doubt that there are non-human intelligences, be it aliens or time travellers or interdimensional beings or whatever they might be.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

lmao, sure thing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The thing is we both are going to get downvoted into oblivion. People who are not aware of the latest developments still see the term UFOs and think "loonies". I am actually a bit scared that disclosure is finally upon us, and many people will have a hard time updating their worldviews.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro we have seen the latest developments, but we're not "scared" because we're not fucking idiots. It's not aliens. It's some dudes making shit up to make a name for themselves, some dipshit pilots misunderstanding what they're seeing, and fucking eejits like you making it into something it's not.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I rest my case. How will someone like you react when it ends up being officially recognized as something even weirder than "space aliens from Mars", I don't know.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Something tells me they'll probably ask for pictures of the alien's vagina.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yeah, they were very effective with their misinformation campaign.
