Non Human Intelligence European Parliament sculpture named Family is showing 3 reptile statues and one is holding people in a box
What do you think of this, also many videos that talks about how some important (humans) are actually shapeshifting reptiles or they worship them, many theories. Do you think that this is also some kind of a soft disclosure?

Discussion If the aliens are malevolent what could they want from humans?
lately evil aliens/NHI narrative seems to be getting popular among some people in the UFO discourse. even some Catholic priest apparently believes most UFO are demons.
I think its just typical fearmongering and bit of weird excitement talk but assuming its true what could their evil purpose for interacting with humans even be. why all the random appearances and abductions.

Ancient Cultures what if the library of alexandria was burned specifically to hide the actual "physics" of our reality?
i was reading a thread on here yesterday about how 97% of human history is missing, and it sent me down a massive rabbit hole last night.
i stumbled across this researcher's article and the historical theory completely broke my brain. the author was analyzing some suppressed texts supposedly guarded by an egyptian schema monk that survived the fire at alexandria.
the crazy thing is the article argues the library didn't burn by accident. it was a deliberate cover up by ancient "elites" of that time to hide the actual physics and mechanics of our reality. the surviving texts apparently treat the universe not as a mystical thing, but as a biological construct that can literally be manipulated if you know the laws.
it even connects nikola tesla's theories on frequency directly to these ancient texts, arguing that things like human fear are just biological frequencies the elites used to keep the masses trapped in a curated timeline.
if ancient civilizations actually knew the physics to manipulate reality, it makes total sense why they'd wipe out our history to keep us locked in. has anyone else gone down this specific historical rabbit hole?
here's the article for context: here ya go
r/HighStrangeness • u/Contactunderground • 4h ago
Non Human Intelligence Contactees, Sightings and the Consciousness Connection On July 28th 2019, I addressed the MUFON International Symposium in Irvine California. I described a remarkable series of sightings my contact team had in a lecture titled, "Human Initiated Contact Experiences and the Consciousness Connection."
The following material was covered in my lecture.
Thirty-four years ago, I took a walk on the wild side. I joined a group that had the audacity to go out at night and try to co-create contact experiences with the intelligence associated with the so-called UFO phenomenon. To my surprise and initial delight, we were immediately successful. During our first month of teamwork, we had several sightings while in the field.
But stranger still was that these “Others that Experiencers now call ET” (TOTENCET) targeted us to have individual sightings under circumstances that were not associated with conducting the prescribed “contact protocols.” One senior member of team reported receiving the following telepathic communication while viewing a large glowing orb flying above her driveway, “You wanted to see us; well, here we are.”
INTRODUCTION
UFO contact teams like those in the CE-5 Initiative, and the Peruvian based group called Rahma facilitate contact experiences with combined programs of psychic/ spiritual training and active fieldwork. These groups emphasize the importance of mental connections between volunteer contact workers and UFO intelligences.
I organized a contact team in 1992 and for over five years served as a CE-5 Working Group Coordinator.
HIGH STRANGENESS DEFINED
As a contact team coordinator in Los Angeles, I had ample opportunities to observe unusual occurrences. One definition of "High Strangeness" is the inexplicable aspects including the synchronicity of events that occur before, during and after various Close Encounters with flying saucers or presumed ET beings.
By definition, one cannot fully explain the inexplicable, nevertheless one can endeavor to describe the inexplicable and, in the process, possibly gain insight into the mechanisms of contact.
INITIAL EXPECTATIONS WERE WAY OFF BASE
My initial expectation after becoming CE-5 Working Group Coordinator in 1992 was that UFO sightings would occur as an exclusive function of fieldwork. I anticipated that as my team mastered the contact protocols, we would experience higher and higher levels of contact and that this would occur in a stepwise fashion.
To my surprise, however, as soon as our Working Group started to carry out field investigations, a few individuals started reporting personal sightings of UFOs. The witnesses to these sightings were members of the team, or as in one instance the physician wife of a CE-5 investigator. In her case, she became very interested in UFOs as the result of a daylight sighting of a metallic disc. She subsequently underwent formal training and joined our team.
SIGHTINGS NOT DURING FIELDWORK BUT WHILE DRIVING HOME IN THE CAR
These events transpired while the observers were driving home. It is important to note that the first series of sightings happened during the initial month following the workshop in August of 1992 that founded the LA CE-5 Working Group. Just two days after thedemonstration of fieldwork techniques, the first personal sighting occurred.
INDIVIDUAL SIGHTING 1, Sept. 1, 1992
Joseph Burkes MD: while driving home on the 405 Freeway South the Sepulveda Pass at approximately 11:30 PM, I had a sighting of an anomalous nocturnal light. It appeared over the highway as a brilliant blue-green light that silently flew by the witness in a northerly direction. It had a slight oscillating movement. At its closest approach, the light was less than 500 feet away. There was no discernible superstructure associated with the object. This impressed me because of the considerable amount of background illumination from city lights that should have made the shape of any conventional craft visible.
The sighting occurred immediately after I had carried out a vigorous defense of the CE-5 program to several prominent ufologists. They were rather skeptical of our program of staging human-initiated contact events.
Individual Sighting 2, September 23, 1992
At 2:30 PM a broad daylight sighting of a metallic disc occurred in Woodland Hills California. Dr. Eve Gordon is married to Dr. David Gordon. We were all partners in the Southern California Permanente Group back in the 1990s. Dave was an original member of our contact team. His wife on the other hand was not that interested in UFOs. In her professional life, Dr. Eve Gordon is a board-certified internist and allergy specialist. She observed a flying saucer in broad daylight hovering two to three miles away over the Santa Monica Mountains. She was driving south towards her home when the event occurred.
Dr. Eve was accustomed to identifying conventional craft as the result of her husband's status as a private pilot. It was their custom to attend air shows and other aviation related events and as a result she was knowledgeable about various types of conventional aircraft. Eve reported feeling confident that the silently hovering disc, glittering in the bright afternoon sunshine was a” true unknown.” The object was approximately 30 feet in length. The sighting lasted about one minute.
Individual Sighting 3, September 24, 1992
While driving home at 9:30 PM after attending a two-hour meditation workshop, a 25-feet in diameter metallic globe-like craft was sighted hovering directly above the witness' home in Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Dotha Weybourn was the oldest member of the initial CE-5 contact team in Los Angeles.An experienced sky watcher, she had no doubt that it was not a terrestrial craft. The sighting lasted approximately one minute; at its closest approach the silent object was less that 100 feet from the observer. She described it as being mother of pearl luminescent white. Dotha stated that she received a telepathic message, “You wanted to see us; well, here we are.”
SIGHTINGS ARE CLUES TO DECIPHER A MYSTERY
As the months rolled by after these dramatic sightings, I started to muse over the details of my associates’ personal sightings. I looked for possible hidden meanings within the circumstances of the encounters that might contain messages relating to the on-going contact work. Like a detective in a mystery novel, I kept mulling over the details of the sightings. If those particulars were clues, then I was going to use them to possibly solve the mystery as to what was going on in my contact team visa vie our relationship with “flying saucer intelligence.”
My hypothesis was that perhaps these consecutive sightings were not random events, that they might in fact be the product of conscious decisions by intelligent and technologically sophisticated extraterrestrial beings that staged the encounters for teaching purposes.
CONVENTIONAL WISDOM DOESN’T APPLY TO ALLEGED ALIENS
I wondered whether the choice of individuals selected for the sightings, or perhaps other details had special significance. Michael Lindemann, a prominent student of non-human intelligence, has cautioned ufologists to never assume that they can think like an alien. In other words, we should not try to impose what passes as human “conventional wisdom” on beings that may have evolved on different star systems.
Such extraterrestrial civilizations would undoubtedly have entirely different cultures, different value systems, and different social organizations as compared to those of Earth. With such infinite possibilities, perhaps a technologically advanced civilization for purposes unknown to us might choose to communicate via outlandishly subtle means.
AMAZINGLY CONGRUENT CHARACTERISTICS
It should be remembered that approximately 10% of the US population claim to have had a sighting of a UFO. In terms of an individual’s lifetime of experiences however, a sighting is an exceedingly rare event for most people. The fact that these three individuals who knew each other had a sighting within a few weeks should diminish the odds that they were mere coincidences.
Even less likely to occur by chance is the fact that the circumstances of the sightings were highly congruent. The observers were all driving home and were alone in their vehicles. Even the direction of travel was the same; we were all going south when the encounters took place.
PASSIONATE DEFENSE OF PROACTIVELY SEEKING CONTACT.
In my sighting, I had just left a meeting after engaging in a heated polemic defending our program of human initiated interactions with what I believed at the time was an extraterrestrial intelligence. Present at the meeting was the “old guard” of ufology. Prominent researcher and author Ann Druffel was there. She explained to me that as “ufologists” we should study other people’s sightings to determine if they are “anomalous” i.e., “true unknowns.”
In no uncertain terms, I labeled her approach “old fashioned.” I stated that the contact network which I would later call “The Contact Underground” had, “opened up a new era in UFO research.” As I left the meeting it was clear that I would never again be invited back to the prestigious “LA UFO Study Group.”
I interpreted my sighting just minutes after leaving the meeting as a show of support, not only for me personally, but also for the larger contact program that I had just defended. The sighting gave me a big personal boost that helped sustain my enthusiasm for our project during the challenging years that followed. Considering the organizational and personal difficulties that face any new contact team, I will gladly testify that team leaders need all the support that they can get.
MEDITATION FACILITATES CONTACT
Concerning Dotha's close encounter with a luminescent globe, she had just left a meditation workshop. Contact protocols employed by contactee groups involve on-site thought projection methods. Usually this involves guided meditation. In preparation for thought projection, individuals in the team are expected to reach an “expanded state of consciousness” through meditation.
Dotha told me that she thought there was an association between her meditating in the class and her subsequent sighting. If the non-human intelligence responsible for the flying saucer phenomenon were attempting to send my team a message concerning the importance of advanced meditation techniques, what better way to do so than to stage a close encounter just moments after a prolonged meditation was carried out by an experienced practitioner.
Thus, two of the three sightings described occurred immediately after the witnesses were involved in activities integral to contact project.
WHY DID DR. EVE GORDON HAVE A SIGHTING?
The most intriguing aspect of this series was the question why was Eve singled out for a sighting? Although her interest in UFOs soared after seeing the metallic disc, prior to the event her contact with the UFO phenomenon was indirect. It was her husband Dr. Dave Gordon who was the contact activist in the family.
During the autumn months of 1992, our team frequently convened at Eve and David’s house for our business meetings. Meditation is not an easy chore for all researchers; both Dave and I were both having considerable difficulty meditating. We were restless, as many are when one first attempts to still the mind. Dave was not able to follow the recommendation of meditating daily.
His wife Eve, on the other hand, was far more open to meditation practice. It was not until several months later, in December of 1992 that she was to undergo formal contact network training, and as a result she was officially not part of the Working Group when we first held meetings at her home.
I was quite perplexed as to why she had been granted a sighting. Dotha and I were active and official members of the team, why was Eve, a non-member, selected for such a dramatic daylight sighting of a metallic disk?
A likely answer came to me one night as we conducted our business meeting at the Gordon’s home. My beeper vibrated and I had to call the hospital. Eve was in the family room practicing on her harp. An accomplished amateur, she often gave recitals. I asked Daniel where I could pick up a phone away from the meeting. Daniel suggested that I make the call in the family room.
"No," I replied, "I don't want to disturb Eve."
My colleague reassured me by saying, "Don't worry. She practices at least an hour a day. When she's playing her music, she's in a total trance."
It was then that it hit me! That was the clue that I had been looking for. Eve, although not yet a member of the Working Group, was still able to access consciousness in its most unbounded form while she was practicing the harp. In that relaxed state of being carried away by the divine music that she was creating, a trance like state like deep meditation was achieved. Her meditation equivalent was her music!
It seemed to me this was an important part of the message that I was supposed to learn from her sighting. If my hunch was correct, I was impressed by its subtlety.
Another important aspect is that the sightings escalated in terms of their intensity. The first was mine, just an anomalous nocturnal light. The second, Eve’s, was a broad daylight sighting of a metallic disc. (What UFO fan wouldn’t want that?) The third was Dotha’s. Not only was the 25-foot sphere hovering above her house, but it flew down her driveway to meet her. It was there that she received the poignant message, “You were looking for us. Well, here we are.”
These personal sightings were clearly linked, not only in time, but also by a variety of other important details, thus indicating that they were not random events. Across the network that I call the “Contact Underground”, similar patterns of sightings and other contact experiences are occurring. In their totality, they confirm that contact groups have entered a special collaborative relationship with the non-human intelligences associated with the flying saucer phenomenon.
CONCLUSION
I believe that these sightings are part of a much broader range of experiences that attest to the virtuoso psychic technology of what I like to call, This Otherness That Experiencers Now Call ET, (TOTENCET), the so-called aliens. They, who or whatever “they” ultimately turn out to be, were able to track the three of us and choose the times and places of what were clearly staged events. If “they” could do that with us, perhaps there is no such thing as a “random UFO sighting.” I am suggesting that the millions of people that report UFO sightings are possibly telepathically linked to “this otherness.” For me the implications of this proposition are awe-inspiring for the following reasons.
The Earth’s population is eight billion currently. If the prevalence rate of a UFO sighting is 10 percent, this suggests that hundreds of millions of people may have an ongoing consciousness link with UFO intelligences by virtue of their having even just one sighting. Understandably, such individuals often have an increased interest in the subject of flying saucers. Under the right circumstances, for example if they had additional sightings or were in an area where a UFO wave had occurred, they then might join the growing number of people who are proactively seeking interactions with UFO intelligence. As one that has promoted human initiated contact events for three decades, I find this possibility very encouraging.
Comments:
Name Deleted: Thank you for this article -- it is very clear and articulate. One question does come to mind, which concerns other experiencers who may not be as "high-functioning" as the group you were part of. I'm referring to people who have had NHI (non-human intelligence) contact for many years, often since childhood. For many, being an experiencer is a debilitating ordeal.
I do understand that you've had enlightening and fascinating experiences with the NHI, but what of other experiencers? Are you familiar with them, and what do you make of the dramatic difference in the nature of contact?
Joseph Burkes MD: Thank you for the question. I am aware of the challenges that many contactees experience because they have been traumatized doubly so. First by the high strangeness aspect of contact triggering what has been called ontological shock. Then, when such experiencers try to share the shocking aspects of contact with family, friends, and the larger society they are again injured by a massive wave of ridicule and denial.
It is clear to me that UFO intelligences work with a wide spectrum of people, many are contacted at sub & unconscious levels. This permits them to live their lives, have a career, supportive family life and would be characterized by the term you used, "high functioning." When the time is "right" as determined by UFO INTEL, they are "activated." Suddenly they develop a tremendous interest in this subject. I am convinced, but in no way can I prove that every member of my team had a pre-existing sub/unconscious relationship with flying saucer intelligences and that their memories of prior contact events were suppressed. I believed this proposed mechanism probably applies to me.
The implications of this analysis are colossal. We are seeing the creation of a major shift in societal paradigms being driven in part by advanced non-human intelligences that have awesome physical and mental capabilities. I discuss this further in upcoming blogs. Again, thanks for the question.

Personal Theory What if we’ve misunderstood what free energy means?
You know how it’s a widespread theory that NHI have free energy technology and the elites and/or governments keep it from being made public and accessible because it would change the power structure if people didn’t need to use fossil fuels anymore?
What if it’s far beyond that but those in the know would never ever want that potential even in the realm of possible - what if “free energy” meant not having to EAT. Far beyond powering mechanical machinery - the energy that we need to live, like food…other living beings. Powering biological beings.
And then I remembered reading about a monk - one of those men who go to great lengths to get some peace and quiet from the rest of us, like the top of a mountain - who it was claimed stopped needing food to survive… I think he was getting energy from the sun.
And there’s also that bit from Christianity (I think) about the lion laying down with the lamb. I’m not religious and am neither qualified to or interested in debate about books and teachings of faith, so let’s just pretend it’s not important other than it came to my and I decided to include it. Anyway, I think the basic implication is the lion doesn’t eat the lamb. Perhaps that could come about if an animal doesn’t need to eat meat, rather than making the decision than it shouldn’t eat meat.

Personal Experience During Hypothermia, I Saw 7–8 Figures Watching Over Me in my tent - Hallucination, or Something Stranger?
Hallucination or Something More?
I’m an avid hiker and thru-hiker, and I spend a great deal of time outdoors. I’m no stranger to all-season camping. Last year, I was primitive camping at a state park. The forecast was supposed to be clear all weekend, with a low around 60°F, so I brought my lightweight sleeping bag, but I also had all of my emergency layers with me just in case.
A massive rain squall came through unexpectedly. I was camping with three other people, and one of them had an emergency tent issue, their tent was taking on water. I wrapped up, got out of my tent, and helped them fix it before returning to mine.
Knowing I was essentially soaked, I started the process of drying off, putting on all my layers, and warming myself inside my sleeping bag. Almost immediately, I recognized that I was entering that strange place where you can begin experiencing mild hypothermia. My jaw was shivering uncontrollably, and my breathing felt slightly off. I checked my thermometer, and the temperature had dropped to 38°F.
I was slowly warming up, so I knew I was going to be okay, but I became somewhat lightheaded. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, in the dimness of my tent, I saw what appeared to be a group of seven or eight figures encircling me and looking down at me.
They appeared to be Indigenous, possibly Native American, shamanic, or spiritual elders, but I can’t identify them as belonging to any particular Indigenous nation, culture, or tradition. They were dressed in animal skins, fur, and leather. The central figure stood out to me most. He was very muscular, perhaps in his late 50s, with a wise expression and chiseled features. Across his chest was a large beaded and metal necklace featuring an eagle with its wings spread widely. The others were similarly dressed, though each appeared somewhat different. It felt as if they were looking through me, judging me deeply and with careful discernment. There was a great deal of reverence in the entire experience.
Instead of being anxious or concerned, I immediately felt a sense of peace fall over me, and my body grew much warmer. The vision remained with me for a while, overlooking me. They didn’t speak to me, but I had a strong sense that I was welcome, and that they were watching over me. Eventually, they slowly faded from view.
I stayed awake for quite a while afterward, feeling completely bewildered by what I had just experienced. Yet strangely, I also felt welcomed. I felt safe in a way that is difficult to explain, safe enough to finally let myself fall into an extremely deep sleep. When I woke the next morning, I felt completely refreshed, more so than I’ve felt in years. I packed up my things and went on to hike an 11-mile trail that day.
I’ve thought about this experience many times over the past year because, in an unexpected way, it changed some of my previously limited views about consciousness, entities, and the possibility that there may be things we simply don’t understand.
The rational, medical part of my brain tells me that hallucinations can occur with hypothermia, and that’s probably the most straightforward explanation. At the same time, the experience didn’t feel like a typical hallucination to me. I was aware of the figures, aware of their presence, and distinctly remember the feeling that they were judging me carefully, then watching over me while I warmed up. There was no sense of fear or confusion while it was happening, only an extraordinary feeling of peace and safety.
I’m not necessarily looking for confirmation that it was something supernatural. I’m genuinely curious how others might interpret an experience like this. And for those familiar with Indigenous traditions, wilderness experiences, or anomalous phenomena, is there any perspective that might help me understand what I experienced?
[The area was near the backcountry of Henry Horton State Park, along the historic Duck River in Chapel Hill, Tennessee.]
Thank you.

Cryptozoology Some art inspired by my favourite cryptid, Sam the Sandown Clown
"HELLO AND I AM ALL COLOURS SAM"
- The supposed introduction of a 7-foot-tall, seemingly biomechanical entity spotted on the Isle of Wight in 1973.
Sam the Sandown Clown has long been a favourite cryptid of mine, due in part to the sheer surreality of this sighting. Allegedly encountered by two young girls while they were playing on the swampy shores of Lake Common, Sandown, this creature was described as having triangular eyes, square nose and yellow lips, on a face that sat directly on his shoulders without any discernible neck.
Now, while I'm not sure I believe in old All-Colours Sam (he does sound an awful lot like an especially odd child's imaginary friend, after all), he has still captured my imagination over the years and I felt it was only right to immortalise him in my art.

Discussion Dark Matter: Has it been seen for the First time?
There's this experiment called LUX ZEPLIN, or LZ for short, and it's basically a giant tank of Liquid Xenon buried almost a mile underground in an old gold mine in South Dakota.
The reason its underground is so all the cosmic ray noise from space gets filtered out and the only thing that can really reach the detector is something that barely interacts with matter at all, like dark matter supposadly does.
Dark matter makes up something like 85% of all the mass in the universe. We can see its effects everywhere, like how galaxies spin and how light bends around massive objects in ways that dont add up unless there's a ton of invisible mass out there.
In 90 years of looking for it directly, nobody has ever actually caught a glimpse of it. It's just been indirect evidence the whole time.
Well, a few days ago, a team led by a physicist from the University of Bristol announced they picked up a single particle interactian in the LZ detector that they are struggling to explain using any known background source.
Normal matter, cosmic rays, radioactive decay in the rock, all the usual suspects that cause false alarms, none of it lines up.
It happened right in the exact energy range where a WIMP, which is a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle, one of the leading dark matter candidates, would be expected to show up if it existed.
Now, before anyone gets too hyped up, like me, when I first read about it, it's just one event. Statisticaly its only about 2.6 Sigma, and you typically need 5 Sigma to call something an actual discovery in Particle Physics, so this is nowhere near CONFIRMED!
The researchers themselves are choosing their words carefully about the whole incident, but the guy running the project called it the most compelling hint of dark matter they've ever recorded.
This is a pretty big statement from someone who has spent their whole career chasing this thing.
It was presented at a Particle Astrophysics Conference in Japan, and now, there's a submission to a journal for peer review. I guess we'll see if it holds up or if it turns out to be background noise they just haven't identified yet.
Either way, I think it's epic that we might be very close to literally confirming what 85% of the universe is actually made of.
What's your thoughts?

Simulation Calling it a simulation has an artificial connotation, why not call it a Divine Play like the eastern religions?
The universe may be computational. It follows the rules of mathematics but all current evidence points against it being an artificial simulation.
The amount of resources to simulate even a tiny amount of electrons is massive. It requires exponential resources. There are computational limits and quantum anomalies that require exponential resources. I read that some phenomena requires memory growth larger than the available atoms in the observable universe.
The evidence is strongly against simulation theory.
It seems people want to cop-out from believing in the Divine by believing a "created power" created us or our reality.
The universe is an illusion (probably holographic manifested from "Brahman") but not a simulation. A play orchestrated and written by our own (limited) free-will to entertain the Divine. And for us to grow and be His children.
Edit: Look into reality shifting. A consiousness based multiverse. That the brain is a receiver. And you can swap timelines. It gets really deep in the rabbit hole.

Discussion Portals in Appalachia
Anyone else ever hear about the Portal in the forests of Southern Appalachia, guarded by dogmen in the surrounding forests, used by a secret miltary-backed agency? On a compound with a large barn? Big enough for large craft and tall slender humanoids to pass through? Theres also a major roadway near the hidden access road that leads to it deep in the forests.

Ancient Cultures Alternative History of Egypt in Proto Arabic Manuscripts (Article)
I hope you like this post, My sincere regards from Egypt ..
Sources are in the comments section ..
----------------------
Maybe the first attempt to solve the mystery of Hieroglyphs was done by Abu Bakr Ibn Wahshiyya, though it was a failed attempt but some Egyptologists credit Ibn Wahshiyya of considering Hieroglyphs to be letters of a language, as at the time, people used to think Hieroglyphs were magical symbols.
Before the discoveries and scientific research whose door Champollion opened, what was known of the history of Egypt was what was mentioned in the religious books and the story of Pharaoh, Moses, and Joseph. This is despite the fact that there were books by Greek and Roman travelers and historians (such as Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Strabo, Plutarch, and others) who visited Egypt and wrote about it, its history, and its religion in an objective way. And this is the reason that the Europeans knew much more about the history of Egypt than the Egyptians did in the post-Pharaonic eras, who, from their writings, it is clear that they mostly did not look at these books.
And this is an observation pointed out by the orientalist Van Homer in his book on the history of the Ottoman state, where he said: "Most Turks, Persians, and Arabs do not see the wonders of Egypt the way Europeans and the ancient Greeks and Romans see them." And he said that at a time when Europeans consider Egypt the first source of sciences and arts, the cradle of engineering, construction, agriculture, writing, and navigation, and they respect it, respect its beliefs, and admire its antiquities, temples, pyramids, obelisks, and statues, we find that the East does not see in the temples, statues, and the Sphinx anything but magical hiding places for buried treasures guarded by the statues and images. And they do not find in the hieroglyphs anything but talismans that hide from people the ways to extract gold. And he continued: "They (the Easterners) do not know of the Pharaohs except the Pharaoh of Joseph and the Pharaoh of Moses whom the sea swallowed."
Of course, he is speaking about a period in which knowledge was non-existent or nearly non-existent in the East, and people who cared about the antiquities and history of their country had not yet appeared in Egypt.
The Egyptian thinker Salama Moussa (1887 - 1958) tells that when he went to Europe in 1908, the Europeans' interest in the history and antiquities of Egypt caught his attention, and they asked him about them because he was Egyptian. So as soon as he returned to Egypt, he traveled to Upper Egypt to get to know the history and antiquities of Egypt that the Europeans were interested in and that the Egyptians were unaware of.
--------------------------
After Christianity entered Egypt, Pharaonic Egyptian history disappeared from memory, and people became unable to read the letters of the ancient Egyptian language (hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic), and many Egyptian temples were destroyed. And after Islam entered Egypt, it continued on the rest until its ancient history was completely forgotten. The Christian Egyptians did not care about anything beyond the history of Christianity in Egypt, and they contributed to the forgetting of ancient Egyptian history. They were the first to destroy the temples of Egypt, scrape the Egyptian texts off them, and took an aggressive stance towards the history of their ancestors. And the Muslim Egyptians did not care about the books of the Greek and Roman historians, and they transmitted from the Arabs who, although they cared about the other books of the Greeks, did not pay attention to their historical books. And the books of the Muslim historians began with alternative stories telling the "alternative" history of Egypt.
For example, al-Maqrizi (1365 - 1441) begins the history of Egypt by saying about the name of Egypt: "It is said that its name in the first age before the Flood was 'Jazla', and then it was named Egypt. And the people of knowledge disagreed about the reason for which it was named 'Egypt'. Among them are those who said: It was named Egypt after the name of 'Misr bin Markabil bin Dawabil bin 'Uryan bin Adam, peace be upon him' - and he is the first Egypt. And it was said: It was named after the second Egypt, 'Misram bin Naqrawish the tyrant bin Misrim bin Taysar bin Ham bin Noah, peace be upon him' - and this was after the Flood."
Ibn Taghri (1410 - 1470) agrees with al-Maqrizi on the origin of the name, but he disagrees with him on the name Jazla, which he wrote as "Zajla", and he said it comes from "muzajala" (meaning contest or rivalry). Ibn Iyas (1448 - 1523) for his part said the same thing and told the story of Shem, Ham, Japheth, and Arphaxad, the sons of Noah, and that Noah prayed for Misrim bin Baysar bin Ham to dwell in the blessed land, which is the mother of countries and the refuge of the people.
All the Arabic books in the Middle Ages, even the Egyptian books, that dealt with the history of Egypt begin by repeating this alternative talk. Even Ibn al-Ibri (1226 - 1286), the Christian who wrote about the history of the world from the days of Adam and passed over Persia, Greece, and the Mongols and left nothing without writing about it, did not say anything about Pharaonic Egyptian history except that Hermes is the Idris of the Arabs.
The Egyptian historians mentioned above, of course, did not invent these alternative stories, but they were transmitting what they heard and read from the Arabs, regardless of whether they were convinced of it or not. And they were careful to say "it is said". However, they transmitted to us the idea that was prevailing in their time, in the Middle Ages, about Pharaonic Egyptian history.
Al-Jabarti, who lived in a later period (1754 - 1822), and whom Napoleon appointed as a scribe in his diwan and who was familiar with the work of the French scientific expedition and visited it, did not mention anything concerning its effort in describing and recording the Egyptian antiquities, and sufficed with saying about the Egyptian statues: "None knows their value except the Knower of the Unseen." (Allah)
The Egyptian historians transmitted the alternative tales about the history of their country from the Arab writers. And the strange thing is that the Arab writers did not pay attention to the Greek and Roman historical books and preferred to transmit the alternative tales from one another.
---------------------------------------
The alternative history of Egypt covers two periods: before the Flood and after the Flood. This alternative history of Egypt tells that Egypt before the Flood was named after Misraim bin Marakil bin Dawil bin 'Arbaq bin Adam (the first Egypt), who settled, either he or his son Naqrawish bin Misraim, in Egypt with seventy descendants of 'Arbaq, all of whom were tyrants. He dug canals there and built towers on whose walls the secrets of wisdom were inscribed. He divided Egypt among his sons, so he gave the west to Naqrawish, the east to Sorid, and to his son who was also named Misraim (Misraim bin Naqrawish the tyrant - the second Egypt) he gave a city called Yirbiyan. The father Misraim died when he was 180 years old, so they embalmed his body and placed it in a golden coffin along with his treasures, golden statues, and talismans necessary for repelling reptiles and anyone who tries to dig up his soil.
The first (alternative) king who built a Nilometer was called Khaslim. He placed at the Nilometer two bronze statues of two eagles, a male and a female. When the Nile flood was about to begin, King Khaslim would go there with the priests who would read incantations until an eagle whistled. If the male whistled, then that year's flood would be good and the Nile water would rise high, but if the female statue whistled, then the flood would be terrible and drought would occur.
The one who built the pyramids, which in another alternative tale are attributed to Shaddad bin Ri' and the Amalekites, was King Sorid bin Salhouq bin Saryaq bin Tarmil Dun bin Qadrashan bin Hosal, one of the kings before the Flood who lived in the city of "Al-Ashmunayn". He built them to save himself from the Flood that he dreamed about 300 years before it happened, or, as in another alternative tale, about which the wise man Filmun had predicted. Sorid placed in the pyramids the history of the kings and what was written for Egypt on the Tablet of Destiny until the end of time, along with talismans, money, the bodies of kings, all known sciences, pictures of the planets, medicines, poisons, and many other things. This Sorid bin Salhouq is also the one who built the fortresses and monuments found in Qift and Akhmim. He ordered the carving of the secrets of the sciences, the names of the stars, the properties of plants, and the method of making talismans on the walls and pillars.
And Ibn Taghri says, transmitting from the Arab writers including al-Mas'udi, that Hermes, whom the Hebrews call Enoch and the Muslims call the Prophet Idris, was the one who knew from the movements of the planets that a Flood would occur. So he ordered the building of the pyramids and placed in them the money, the books of the sciences, and all the things he feared would be lost.
-----------------------------
Misraim bin Baysir bin Ham bin Noah (Misraim III) in the alternative history of Egypt was the first king of Egypt after the Flood and the first to build ships. He married the daughter of the wise man Filmun and she gave birth to Qiftim. Misraim died 700 years after the Flood, and Qiftim became king. He married when he was still 90 years old, and he fathered Qiftarim, Ashmun, Atrib, and Sa. They built the city of Mafa (Memphis), and they discovered where the treasures that had been hidden before the Flood were, from their grandfather Filmun, who also taught him how to read the writings on the walls of the fortresses, and he built the city of Raquda on the Salt Sea.
After Qiftim, Qiftarim took power for 400 years, and he built the pyramids of Dahshur and the city of Dendera. In his reign, Satan discovered most of the idols that had been drowned by the Flood and returned them to the temples in order to plot against people. After 400 years of ruling Egypt, Qiftarim died and was buried among his treasures, sitting on a chair in the western mountain near the city of Iram of the Pillars. His tomb was protected by two large bronze statues, each holding a sword in his hand that would move and cut off anyone who tried to enter the tomb.
After Qiftarim, Al-Budshir ruled Egypt. This one was a great scholar specializing in talismans, magic, and priesthood, and he was able to perform wonders. Among them was that he made a bronze tree; any animal or bird that passed in front of it would be impaled, so it would be taken and eaten. And in his days, because of this tree, the Egyptians were satiated with eating meat.
Hermes also lived in the time of Al-Budshir, who sent him to discover the sources of the Nile and to make some talismans there. Suddenly, Al-Budshir disappeared because he had gone up to dwell in the clouds, and then he reappeared and called the soldiers and ordered them to install his son "Adim" as king over Egypt.
Adim was a tyrant king who ruled Egypt for 140 years and died when he was 930 years old. So Shaddad came after him - and this is not the same Shaddad bin 'Ad - and he built the temple of Armant, and he domesticated greyhound dogs from wild beasts so that he could use them for hunting. He ruled for 90 years and died when he was 440 years old, and he was succeeded by Manqaus.
Manqaus divided the taxes of Egypt into four parts: one quarter for himself, one quarter for the army, one quarter for land reclamation, building bridges, and digging canals, and one quarter to save for emergencies. The revenue of Egypt in his days exceeded one million dinars. After him, his son Mataus ruled, and he was the first to worship the calf in Egypt.
Ashmun bin Qiftim ruled Egypt, and he was one of its greatest kings. He ruled it for 800 years, and he was the one who built the city of Bahnasa. In his reign, Egypt fell into the hands of a people, but he was able to recover it from them after they had controlled it for 90 years. After him, his son Manaqyus ruled Egypt, and he was the one who invented the balance scale. Then after him came Marqoura, who domesticated wild beasts and tamed lions, and he used to ride them. After he died, his son Balatis came, and this one was a small child, so his mother "Marhaba" managed the country, and she was a wise woman. The situation remained like this until his uncle Atrib took power.
Toutis in the alternative history of Egypt was the first of the Pharaohs. He was the one who tried to seduce Sarah, the wife of Abraham, and after he repented, he gave his daughter Huriya to Sarah, who in turn gave her Hagar, whom Abraham married and from whom he fathered Ishmael, the ancestor of the Arabs.
Huriya ruled Egypt after her father Toutis, and in her reign, the giant king of Syria sent an army against Egypt led by Jirun, but in the (alternative) version, it is more likely that the giant "Al-Walid bin Dum'a" was the one who invaded Egypt.
-------------------------------------
With the invasion of Al-Walid bin Dum'a of Egypt, the rule of the alternative giants began. Al-Rayyan bin Al-Walid succeeded Al-Walid bin Dum'a in rule, and the Egyptians used to call him Nahrus. He was a tall, handsome man, a scholar in talismans, and a just and honest ruler. He believed in prophet Jacob when he went to Egypt, but he hid his faith from the people. And he was the one who built the Wax Palace (Fortress of Babylon). And in his reign, prophet Joseph built the city of Fayoum, and it was named that because he built it in "a thousand days". But Al-Rayyan was overcome by an evil spirit and his morals deteriorated, so he left the affairs of government to one of his men named "Qatfir", who is known as Al-Aziz. And when Al-Rayyan died, Joseph took his place.
After that, Darum, the third of the Pharaohs, took over, and after him Drimus. And this Pharaoh used to perform wonders; he had an oven that cooked without fire (like a microwave) and a fixed knife that slaughtered animals by themselves (like an automatic slaughterhouse). And after him, his son Milatis ruled, who drowned in the Nile.
Al-Walid bin Mus'ab, whom the Egyptians used to call "Talma bin Qumis", was the sixth Pharaoh. And this was the Pharaoh of Moses. His origin was from the city of Balkh or Hauran. And he originally worked as a perfumer, but debts piled up on him so he left his country and went to Egypt. And he was one-eyed, short, lame, and had a beard seven spans long. He ruled Egypt for 300 years or 400 years, and people were dying around him while he was still alive, so he became tyrannical and arrogant and said to the Egyptians, "I am your Lord, Most High." So he drowned and died, he and his people, while he was chasing Moses. In the reign of this Pharaoh (according to some Arab statistics), there were about 240,000 magicians in Egypt.
-------------------------
The alternative history of Egypt says that when Pharaoh "Al-Walid bin Mus'ab" drowned with his family, there were none left in Egypt but the slaves, servants, and women who had not participated in the chase of Moses. So the women started marrying the servants, and they would free their slaves and marry them. Then the women agreed to install one of them, named "Daluka", as queen over Egypt. Daluka was a wise and sensible woman, about 160 years old.
Daluka built a wall from Aswan to Al-Arish and placed guards and bronze bells on it, so that if an attack occurred on Egypt's borders, the guards would ring the bells, and the news would reach Egypt quickly so they could prepare. The remains of this wall still exist in Upper Egypt and are known as the "Wall of the Old Woman".
Daluka brought a sorceress named "Tadura", and she built for her a fortress in Memphis that had doors on its four sides. Inside it, on its walls, she drew men, mules, horses, and ships. If an attack came from outside and Daluka and her army could not withstand it, they would enter inside the fortress, cut off the heads of the images, and gouge out their eyes, and then what they (the images) would do would happen to the attacking army. In this way, no one was able to defeat Egypt throughout Daluka's rule. Daluka ruled for 130 years, and after she died, no one was able to repair the images in the fortress.
After the death of Daluka, the soldiers installed Darkun bin Nuktis as king over Egypt, and he was from the sons of the Coptic nobles. After he ruled for a long time, he died, and then a man named Marnush took power. In his reign, Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt, destroyed it, plundered it, killed its men, and captured its women, and he left no talismans or fortresses in it. And Egypt remained ruined and without inhabitants for forty years.
After that, people came, and the nations intermingled within it: Egyptians, Greeks, and giants. And the Copts continued to rule one after another until Al-Muqawqis (Cyrus) came, in whose reign the Arabs took control of Egypt.
-----------------------------
Arab travelers, pilgrims, and others passed through Egypt in the Middle Ages and were amazed by what they saw there, coming as they were from simple, primitive cultures that could not comprehend Egypt's culture and its civilizational advancement. The pyramids and Egyptian antiquities were, to them, incomprehensible puzzles, and the urban, cultural, and economic progress they saw in Egypt was beyond their way of thinking.
Ibn Battuta (1304 - 1377), who visited Egypt during the Mamluk era, said about Cairo: "Then I arrived at the city of Egypt (Cairo), which is the mother of countries, the seat of Pharaoh of the stakes, with its vast provinces and fertile lands, which has no end due to the multitude of its buildings, which are of utmost beauty and brightness." And he continued: "Its conqueror has subdued nations, and its kings have taken control over the forelocks of Arabs and non-Arabs." And he spoke about the pyramids he saw and said of them that they are "among the wonders mentioned throughout the ages." Then he told their alternative history, saying that "a king from the kings of Egypt before the Flood saw a vision that frightened him...", and he told the story that Caliph Al-Ma'mun wanted to demolish the pyramid, but the sheikhs of Egypt advised him not to do so, but he did not listen to them and opened the northern side of the pyramid with fire and poured vinegar. And after they opened a section, they found money which, when weighed, turned out to be exactly equal to the value of the money they had spent on the digging. And about Akhmim, he says: "It is a great city, original in construction, of wondrous stature. In it is the fortress (temple) known by its name. It is built of stone; inside it are engravings and writings from the ancients that are not understood in this era."
Ibn Jubayr (1145 - 1217) visited Egypt before Ibn Battuta, and he also showed his amazement and bewilderment in what he wrote. He said about the pyramids: "... the ancient pyramids, a miracle of construction, strange in appearance." And he continued: "If the people of the earth wanted to demolish their structure, they would be unable to do so." And about their history, he said that some people say they are tombs of 'Ad and his sons, and some say other things, but "in short, none knows their matter except God, Mighty and Majestic." He also went to Akhmim and said about a Pharaonic temple he saw there: "Glory be to the One who created wonders." And about the statues and drawings in it: "The imagination is bewildered by them, and the mind is lost in thought about their design and placement."
Egypt, for the Arabs, was something huge, full of puzzles, and dominated by an advanced culture that they could neither understand nor comprehend.
In the Arab religious heritage, Egypt is distinguished and has a very great status, because its name was mentioned several times in the holy books, the prophetic hadiths, and others. Such as the hadith: "If God opens Egypt to you, take a strong army there, for that army is the best of the armies of the earth." And a hadith that says: "Be kind to the people of Egypt, for they have the best lineage and kinship [with us]." And the saying of Amr ibn al-As: "The governorship of Egypt is comprehensive and equals the Caliphate." And the saying of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: "The people of Egypt are the most honorable of all non-Arabs, the best in lineage, and the closest in kinship to the Arabs, especially to Quraysh." And the saying of Ibn Yunus: "Whoever wants to look at something resembling Paradise, let him look at Egypt when it is in bloom." And the saying of Abu Basra al-Ghifari: "The sultan of Egypt is the sultan of the whole earth." And dozens of other sayings that were said about Egypt, which reflect the enormous size of Egypt in the mind of the Arab.
But because of the loss of information in a mysterious way after the entry of Christianity into Egypt (whose spread in Egypt imposed the use of Greek letters), the long Pharaonic history of Egypt was limited to the Pharaoh of Moses and the Pharaoh of Joseph, along with a few Folkloric tales related to magic and talismans.

UFO In 1987, two kids in a small town in Argentina said they saw strange red humanoids. A week later, people were watching a red light over the same bridges
In August 1987, 12-year-old Gustavo Núñez and another boy reported seeing two small, red, armless humanoid figures hiding in the vegetation around Arroyo Prati, near an old railway bridge in Viale, Entre Ríos.
The story spread quickly, and people started going to the area: some curious, some hoping to see the creatures, and others just to make fun of the kids. Then, a week later, a strange red light was reportedly seen over the bridges by several people, including police officers. Gustavo himself later recalled that police called him out of his house to see it.
There are also newspaper accounts from the time, as well as a separate account by local researcher Ariel Lemos describing a very similar red light over the same area.
So what actually happened in Viale that week? I dug into the three accounts and tried to reconstruct the episode in our new article for Proyecto Viale Desconocido, an archive documenting unusual cases from this region.

Simulation You're loving in a reality that's curated to you.
The title should say living, not loving. If I loved it, I wouldnt be writing this.
Everything that you think you know is a lie. I've peaked behind the veil, and its not what you think. Its all a play. A dance. Theater. I dont know what i am, who i am, or what my true purpose is. The system you are using to interpret your reality is not one of your choosing. Numbers, language, color, shape, are all a misinterpretation of the information around you. A misinterpretation imposed on you by an invasive life form meant to control your consciousness and perceive information in the same manner of itself, in a linear fashion. To perceive choices as having inescapable outcomes, outcomes it has dictated to you, therefore controlling all of your choices and eliminating them. It achieves its goal, influencing you to perceive its most elaborate interpretation of all...time.
Its all controlled by frequency and vibrations. Its weird. The higher the vibration of your soul, the more you remember. The lower, the more you lean into this bullshit. The more you succumb to status quo. Wake up, eat, go to work, produce, come home, eat, sleep. Eat the slop thats fed to you. You're so much more. I cannot tell you what you are, I can't show you. You need to show yourself what you are. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Theres a reason the system divides us the way it does. Its all a distraction. Its all theater. There must be more like me. Am I alone in this world? Am I the only one who sees? My loathing and hatred for this fake place must be a clue to the puzzle. But guess what, I have a family and kids and a job and a house, and cars and a million other things i dont care about calling to me incessantly. Calling for me to forget. To just keep doing what im doing. Keep the charade moving. The circus must go on. Theres a way to temporarily see outside. I've shown one other person. They seen. They know now. And the harder the system attacked me for sharing the secret. Its the cosmic joke. But i cant laugh anymore. Its stolen my joy. My love. My life.

Discussion A Logical Question
Following the arrests of the Knights Templar in 1307, the trial records of Brother Jean de Châlon claim that Gérard de Villiers fled with 50 horses and 3 wagons. This would require a team of riders, and drivers; as well as a security detail. In a 14th century police state, this would have been seen for miles, reported, and recorded. How then could it have taken place without being seen? I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Non Human Intelligence I've been surveilled by UFO's since at least June 1st
Flickr Link: Collection Page
edit: im not responding to people who don't at least try to explain what they think is visible on these photos. I also am currently uploading a flickr album that contains everything else mentioned here. You can view it now, I just am still in the process of uploading everything, so it's probably incomplete but I'm hurrying.
What's visible is not: bokeh, lens flare, an airplane, meteor, satellite or drone. I'm not an idiot, I could see it was an up close object and if you aren't an idiot you should be able to see that it is moving vertically and changing velocity in ways that clearly is not an aircraft. What's visible on these photos is the objects shape and color in real life, these are in focus 108 megapixel photos.
The flickr album I'm uploading contains the entire raw image sequence, as well as, soon, everything else.
I've been capturing strange lights in the sky since June 1st I only thought 'its a bright star or satellite', and forgetting I ever took the photos/videos. This was until August 27th when I zoomed in on one that was clearly moving, then stopping, then moving, and it looked like a plasmoid with a solid geometric center. After that I went back in my phone gallery and realized every time I had captured one of these it was the same type of object.
I have an inverted sleep schedule, no work or school, so I go outside every night to smoke occasionally which is how I have so many captures. After I realized what they are and noticed them, they started swarming me every night. I've caught many in 4k high detail, but still those around me just thought I was crazy.
Around 3am on the 6th of September I finally managed to capture using them using the 108 megapixel single photo mode. I snapped as many in a row as possible and essentially made a slow frame rate film of it flying by.
Slideshow of timestamped photos, 2x real speed, lighting values slightly adjusted:

Cropped frames from the sequence








These objects show a ripple distortion of spacetime around the object, visibly making a gravitational lensing effect.
They exhibit gelatinous, shifting behavior, at times growing in size, shrinking, and then suddenly taking the form of a metallic sphere with a definite shape in three dimensions, visible from the shading gradient of light on it. They travel on almost what looks like a surface of water that they appear from behind. They can phase in and out of reality by popping through this veil/wall. Black dots, that eerily resemble eyes, will also spontaneously appear and disappear.
Violet, red and blue are also seen around them, resembling at times a dipole, tripole, quadrapole, etc, possibly from light waves red and/or blue shifting.
My photos vs DOD video, these 2 still frames show the same tripole color distortion when in same orientation

My observations regarding the black dots
They seem to coincide with the direction the orb is going in, as well as fitting into the creases of the gravitational lensing, so it might be an area of such high spacetime curvature that light is blocked or bent around it, something of that nature.
This is a great photo to support that idea:

There is a less aggressive ripple in the far top right, and a thin shadow of black is visible. In the area of more aggressive distortion, there is almost a pure black area.
The top right and bottom left (front and back) have inverted distortions (darkness on top, light "pushed out" area on bottom). The sides have the same distortion inversion. If this is spacetime rippling from the propulsion method, that is what it would resemble if trying to move left and forward (or right and backwards depending on perspective), which in its current orientation would make it go almost straight up.

So much more has happened to me that it's hard to even know where to begin. If anyone has any questions at all I'd love to answer them. I've experienced moments of telepathy regarding these orbs and the whole phenomenon, they only look like orbs when flying but on the ground they are entities, they can cloak. There's really so much more I want to say about what's happened to me but already I'm dead tired putting this as best I can into writing in a succinct way. A brief overview of everything leading up to today is below. I'm going to try to collect everything together into a single video, and before then I'll have the full resolution images posted to an imgur link that I'll leave in a comment later. I need to take a break for now.
Thanks for reading.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Brief overview of preceding events:
Back in 2023, that Las Vegas family reported entities in their yard and released footage. I brushed it off at the time. But in 2026, I came back to it, stabilized the footage, and analyzed the lighting. I honestly believed I created the best footage analysis and enhancements available.
I ended up making the most detailed analysis of that clip I’d ever seen, and in doing that, I became very good at recognizing the very specific way they cloak and how it looks. At the time I had a thought about this that I treated as a joke. They appear to operate with some higher dimensional component, and I was one of very few people who knew what they looked like, how they cloaked and how they behaved; on that basis I thought they might come and check me out. I did not believe it.
I should also mention that I am autistic and I have done acid hundreds of times. Both of those things naturally lower the sensory filter your brain normally uses to screen things out. This is not psychosis. It has been demonstrated for me in real time in plenty of situations where my brain picks up minute changes and details in my surroundings that other people filter out as background noise. When I am standing right next to someone, they will filter something out as unimportant or insist a light is just a star while I can see it moving ever so slightly. Having that lower sensory filter and being good at recognizing patterns is what alerts me to these things, whether they are in the trees cloaked, or in the sky pretending to be a star.
June 1st I filmed an unusually bright star, thinking maybe it was Venus or something. I then forgot about it entirely. It was the first of these objects I ever recorded. I did not find that out for nearly three months.
June 4th There are photos in my phone gallery of a tree outside my house at night. I don't remember why I took the photos. Those photos contain them, cloaked, in the canopy. I did not know at the time and did not find out until much later.
Early June 2026 One day after editing the footage frame by frame for hours, I began seeing the signature everywhere I looked. I understood this as a perceptual artifact of overexposure to the material, comparable to the Tetris effect, where a task performed for long enough continues to appear once the task has stopped. I did not take it seriously and did not consider that any of it was real.
Later that same day, I was outside looking at a tree and doing this again, picking out what appeared to be faces in the patterning. I decided that on the off chance anything was present, I would indicate that I was aware of it. I made direct eye contact with the pattern, nodded at it, and pointed at it over and over. I didn't do this seriously thinking it was real, it was more of a silly game to play with myself.
June 19th (First Storm) I took video as the clouds approached at night for the first major storm. On a still frame where the lightning lights up the area, there are entities in it, the most uncloaked I have ever seen them, sitting in a spacetime bubble distortion and watching me. The most severe lightning storm I'd ever seen came. The lightning was localized to the clouds, and flashed odd colors at strobe light speed. I filmed it in slow motion outside at 120 frames per second, but what's odd is that I never heard any thunder really. It was just constant flashing and lightning, but no thunder.
When I reviewed the footage later, I caught objects dropping out of the sky and coming straight down the road toward me, changing direction as they moved. There were red flashes inside the clouds that didn't match the lightning at all, and in the trees, a strange plasma-like jelly texture full of solid black dots.
June 28th (Second Storm) The previous night at 3am I filmed an orb. I only filmed it to check whether it was Venus or something similar, because it was unusually bright. I recorded it as a star.
On later review there are two orbs visible in that footage, and what look like grey alien heads in the static black dot distortion in the shadows.
Earlier on the 28th, before the second storm rolled in, I was compelled to film the trees again. It was a nice day and I felt like filming the trees for a while, which again, I don't normally do. That footage contains grey alien like heads with pure black dots around them, motionless in the canopy while the rest of the tree moved. The same footage contains two orbs. One is hovering. The other departs at a speed no bird could achieve at that distance and scale.
Before that video ends I randomly decide to turn away from the tree and film a section of open sky. The hovering one is in that part of the footage. I was thinking nothing at the time beyond it being a nice day.
Nothing unusual is going through my head on any of these occasions. The thought is either that it is a nice day and I really want to film those trees, or that I have had an idea to film the trees, randomly, for no apparent reason.
Later that day, a second storm hit that was even more violent than the first, and I filmed through it. After I took the video during the storm, I had a distinct premonition that I would see something strange on the camera.
On review of that storm footage I had a panic attack. In slow motion, in the bushes directly in front of me, are the same cloaked metallic orbs with the black dots. They resemble grey alien heads pushing out through a veil.
At the time none of this registered as unusual. At night I thought I was looking at a star. During the day I thought I was filming trees because it was a nice day.
What it looks like on the footage It looks the exact same in every single clip. In the canopy, certain spots stay completely still while the wind blows all the surrounding leaves around. Around those still points, there is a field of translucent static filled with black dots. The closest reference point I can give is the cloaking effect in Predator. Behind those dots, you can see 3D shapes pressing through, almost like heads pushing against a veil.
The dots are unusually black relative to everything around them, including in daytime footage. They read as clipped rather than as shadow.
July 31st Starting just before the first sighting, I was asking out loud to be shown something almost every night for weeks. On July 31st, while outside listening to a recording about the Ariel School incident in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, an oval object crossed the sky in a straight line and was gone before I could react. At that exact moment, the audio in my headphones was one of the children saying "and you know that nobody will believe you".
August 24th I was outside at 5am smoking a cigarette, thinking to myself "show me something." I decided to randomly walk into the road and look up. As I looked back down, a flash occurred directly overhead. I had the thought "it will flash a second time," and a few seconds later, the second flash happened in that exact spot. Immediately after, I had the thought and prompt to turn around and look behind me, the one direction where the sky is obstructed by houses and the least logical direction to check. A bright light was approaching from that direction. I filmed it and recorded it as a satellite.
The object passes overhead and stops briefly during the pass. I couldn't see that happening at the time because I was looking straight up while filming, so I had no reference points around it to tell if it was moving.
In the few seconds of footage preceding the main pass, cloaked entities are visible approximately three feet in front of me, oriented toward me, and a plasma cube travels through the bushes in front of me.
August 27th I thought I was looking at a satellite. It came to a stop. It stayed still for long enough that I thought it was a star. Then it moved again just slightly.
This was the first occasion on which I magnified an object while the observation was still in progress rather than on later review. Under magnification the object was a geometric, brightly colored, rotating plasma structure.
Following this I reviewed the entire gallery. The August 24th light, the object I had filed as a star, the tree footage from June 4th and afterward, and daytime footage containing both a fast moving object and an orb, were all the same phenomenon. I had not recognised any of them at the time of capture.
August 28th I began recording in 4K. From here to the 31st the counts increased each night, and I reached the point where I could go outside and reliably locate three to five.
August 29th There were three in the sky simultaneously.
Standing outside before nightfall I said aloud that something was not right and that they were here.
That night I observed movement in the bushes outside my window that was inconsistent with the rest of the bush. I said quietly to myself "you're not fooling anyone, I can tell that's you pretending to be wind movement". I set the camera up at the window and pretended not to be looking.
Once I pretended not to look, the movement in the bushes increased. The footage from that position shows watery wavy distortions in the trees and bushes, and the exact same irregular movement I had just seen with my own eyes is clearly visible on camera in that same spot.
Later that night I saw black dots appear on the blank white surface of a car. The dots moved. A visual ripple distortion in the shape of a head pushed against the surface. I panicked and shut the blinds.
This was the first time I saw them directly and then filmed, rather than finding them afterward on review.
August 31st I saw them directly, in front of me, and then filmed.
September 1st I found a video in my camera roll that I have no memory of recording. The footage shows a rainbow cube prism outside the window, entities walking toward me, and a large static black dot distortion wall. I remember nothing from filming that. Which is odd, because I clearly was terrified filming it and the weirdest stuff is happening on camera.
Within the same five minute window there is a second video, of a faint green light, which I do remember. Specifically I remember tilting the phone because I thought "That's a weird light, I'd better tilt the phone camera so you can see later its happening outside and not just a reflection on the window".
So somehow I remember the two seconds around that time where I filmed something mostly unremarkable, yet I don't remember, within a 5 minute time frame, filming a rainbow cube prism out my window with entities walking towards me behind a massive static black dot distortion wall.
In the stills I can see human like forms embedded behind the static wall distortion. The dots are not spread evenly. They gather around the shapes. Near the end of the video there is one at the center, faint against the window, that looks like a human head with big black eyes.
The two videos also differ in how I filmed them. In the green light one I am right up at the window. I was not scared of that one. In the one I do not remember I am standing about eight feet back from the window.
September 6th On September 6th, between 03:23 and 03:29, I photographed a passing object using the 108 megapixel single photo mode. I took 56 exposures in sequence, at intervals ranging from approximately one second to just over a minute. The resulting set functions as a low frame rate record of a single transit. Capture times are recorded to the millisecond in the file metadata.
My family considered the reports to be symptoms of psychosis. Statements such as there being entities in the trees watching me, and orbs visiting the property every night, were treated as evidence that I was unwell.It feels like the worst form of gaslighting possible. Everything happening to me is exactly what a schizophrenic would believe, and I know that. I am also the one documenting it, and it is happening in reality. At times it all gets too weird and I think maybe I am losing it. Then I open my phone gallery and it is still there. It feels like a waking nightmare.
Underlying everything is a consistent thread of intuitive prompts, sudden urges, and precise premonitions. From the uncharacteristic compulsions to record empty sky or static canopies, to predicting consecutive flashes, feeling directed to look behind obstructed views, feeling that "they" were coming, and sensing anomalous footage before reviewing it, the physical evidence was regularly accompanied by direct mental prompts that preceded what appeared on camera.

Discussion If the Zapruder film is "the most scrutinized film in the world," and the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage is the second-most-scrutinized, what is the third?

Non Human Intelligence Land on Earth is an outlier. Life on land is an outlier. The vast majority of life lives in our oceans.
Mammals have been present on Earth for approximately 210 to 225 million years, while true apes first evolved around 25 million years ago. Modern humans ~300,000 years, our recorded history is way less than 10,000 years. Even the last 2000 years is full of unknowns and mysteries that continue to this day
Other Kingdoms of Life and their presence on Earth:
Fungi: 715 to 1,000+ million years ago to present
Arthropods: 537 million years ago to present
Fish: 530 million years ago to present
Crustaceans: 514 million years ago to present
Arachnids: 419 million years ago to present
Insects: 400 million years ago to present
Amphibians: 360 million years ago to present
Reptiles: 320 million years ago to present
Mammals: 225 million years ago to present
Birds: 150 million years ago to present
Apes: 25 million years ago to present
Dinosaurs (Footnote): 240 million years ago to 66 million years ago (Existed for 174 million years)
Based on these timescales, modern humans have existed for 0.01% of Earths history and many other animal kingdoms have existed for substantially longer.
My logic goes to any single one of those animal kingdoms have had enough time on Earth to develop advanced intelligence and technology.
Land on Earth is the outlier. Life on land is an outlier. The vast majority of life lives in our oceans.
If you reach a certain point in advancement , it becomes obvious that living life out in the open land or even outer space makes you extremely exposed and vulnerable
Survival of most Earth surface disasters (rapidly accelerating) is a non-factor IF you lived in underground networks of caves and/or underwater. Vast portions of Earths oceans remain unmapped while our Moon and Mars are completely mapped. Antarctica remains off limits
My honest read: We SHARE the Earth with others. They don’t care about humans. They absolutely do not like nukes because it fucks up their shit and all else
