Ufology and Mysticism Are on the Rise

Exotic mystical beliefs have always been a mark of pagan culture. So what does it mean when these obsessions go mainstream in formerly Christian nations?

In 2017, I became fiercely interested in the subject of UFOs or UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena). This began for me with a New York Times article revealing Pentagon videos of an encounter between U.S. Navy jets on a training exercise and an anomalous object off the coast of San Diego. Initially, my thought was that this represented a kind of novel propulsion breakthrough, the “phenomenon” being a cover story to shield black budget programs.

Then, whistleblower and Air Force officer David Grusch testified to Congress that the government had actually recovered and was reverse-engineering craft of “unknown origin.” (It is also important to note that Grusch has since told members of Congress that he believes some of these “beings” are living among us.) As of this past month, other senior U.S. Government officials have reiterated the existence of nonhuman intelligence in a documentary titled The Age of Disclosure. Some notable appearances include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former DNI director James Clapper, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, and Sen. Mike Rounds.

Flying saucers and alien bodies are admittedly a tall order, and while I am not a journalist, an interesting interaction with an aerospace contractor convinced me that enough was there to do some investigating of my own. Over several years, I attended scientific conferences and met with officials and journalists who all were seriously interested in the subject. I sourced FOIA documents and discovered—among other things—a slew of accounts pertaining to activity around sensitive U.S. military installations as early as the late 1940s. These were reports from employees at nuclear stockpile sites and power plants that described various objects of different shapes and sizes interfering with security systems and missile readiness.

This came to my attention again in watching a doco called 'The Program'. Which is basically going over the UFO and UAP phenomena over the decades. But especially in recent years with Congressional hearings.

What people I think forget is that it was not until the last few years that any government officials admitted there is even such a phenomena. Now they acknowledge this reality at the highest levels under oath before congress. Now the way is open for whistle blowers to come forward and tell their story and the more the better.

What seems strange though is that it seems around the same time as the government came clean and were showing these UAP's more started to pop up around the world. It seems to me that this phenomena has increased with the realisation that its a real phenomena. Which is weird in itself.

It makes you question whether this is all real or some elaborate hoax. But it seems to elaborate and not even the officials are denying many incidents and that they don't know.

Which comes to the idea of the OP about mysticism and belief in aliens or entities from another planet or universe and dimension. This is the kind of language being used. Like everyone is now use to discussing possible aliens or creatures beyond our intelligence and ability. Almost like they perform magic and we are in awe and mystified by it all.

Which is a sort of readiness for accepting all sorts of possibilities under the guise of alien or entity from another dimension.

Its ironic that in such a modern time where the 'No beliefs in God' has risen and materialism has increased that so many are so ready to believe in such ideas and possibilities.
