Thanks for the links! I listened to the segment, and the summary given above is essentially correct.

You’re a new commenter, I think. Welcome.

I don’t know if the “truth” is what people tend to think. Perhaps if the authorities state that there is some sort of non-human intelligence that interacts with us from time to time, the phenomenon will shut down or morph into something completely different.

That’s what I would do if I wasn’t prepared to deal with humans, because I don’t know if we’re ready to meet the phenomenon on it’s own terms, because those terms may be completely alien (pun intended) to us.

Perhaps it just exists for our benefit as an extension into our reality that appears as we expect it to i.e. in terms we can understand. We might have defined those terms for ourselves long ago, and the phenomenon continues without reference to space, time, or what we currently think about it.

Perhaps he’s enmeshed by association rather than actual contact with them, even though it is exactly what they want to hear. I think Mitchell has been careful about who he endorses or associates with.

I don’t know if I buy it for the reasons (questions) I posted, but I’m willing to keep an ear open.

Yes, that’s what you would think. Why hold back on this so-called “alien” tech? I think a possibility is that it might be an “ace up the sleeve,” perhaps to be used only in the most dire circumstances, and quietly and sparingly until then.

I also think about technology that is 10-20 years ahead of where we think it is (perhaps more with accelerated information and research) and how that could be hidden under the “alien” rubric.

…or you’re right and there is no such thing. Lots of possibilities.

It made me wonder too, but that’s as far as I’m going to take it for now.

Here’s another thought: Should they choose to mingle with society, would these exopeople be covered by the same Human Rights laws and protections that we enjoy? They are after all not “human”. What’s to prevent some nutcase from just killing one of these Exos like a dog in the street? And what if the Exo defends itself and kills the attacker? Do our laws and justices apply to the Exo or would he simply be put down the way a killer bear for example would be put down? Perhaps this is why Exos are standoffish?

If you’re the kind of person whose ears bleed with modern music, then UFO Blogger has the interview conveniently edited on Youtube.

If the US military had alien technology, or dangerous mental powers they would have won the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lately I’ve been reading a book on the Celtic Otherworld so my head is full of stories about fairy abduction. Hey, maybe the military has been in negotiations with an army of fairies.
