Concerns Regarding Garry Nolan
Here are my concerns about Garry Nolan, as of now:
- “It’s a show. Don’t take this at face value.”
This statement is contradicted by confirmed radar and visual sightings of the crafts. If it were merely a performance, we would expect the creators of these objects to present more spectacular and advanced vehicles rather than mundane shapes like eggs, tic tacs, and triangles. They might even showcase something holographic or an illusion similar to the extravagant drone displays seen during New Year’s celebrations in China.
Jacques Vallee has made similar observations. After the Trinity Crash, he suggested the non-human intelligence was attempting to convey, “Oh, you detonated a nuclear bomb? Look what we can do!” However, I believe this speculation lacks credibility. It’s more plausible that these UFOs were simply flying and crashed due to technical malfunctions—after all, it’s not a flawless science.
- The Brain Theory:
He posits that individuals who witness UFOs possess an unusually large brain organ. If this were true, how do we account for mass sightings? For instance, did the thousands of people who witnessed the Phoenix Lights all have this condition? The answer is likely no.
- Qualifications Misunderstanding:
Although he has a PhD, he does not have an MD, meaning he isn’t a licensed medical doctor. Consequently, he cannot treat patients, prescribe medication, or perform medical procedures. Yet, he doesn’t clarify this when interviewers call him a medical doctor, and there have been reports of individuals, like Barber, claiming they were “treated by Dr. Nolan.” This is misleading from a legal perspective.
It’s hard to express these concerns about someone associated with a respected institution like Stanford, who has contributed to the UFO discussion, but I can’t help but feel he gives off similar vibes to Dr. Greer.
What do you all think?
Your concerns about Garry Nolan are certainly valid and reflect a critical approach to his theories and public persona. Let’s unpack your points:
“It’s a show” – Your argument about confirmed radar and visual observations is compelling. If these phenomena are indeed a deliberate presentation by an advanced intelligence, it raises significant questions about the nature and purpose of such demonstrations. The lack of more impressive or varied objects, as you noted, seems to contradict the idea of an advanced civilization showcasing their technology. The comparison to Jacques Vallee’s theories about the messaging behind the sightings is also noteworthy; it suggests that if there is some intention behind these phenomena, the message might be more complex or obscured than we realize.
Brain Anatomy Theory – You bring up a strong point regarding mass sightings like the Phoenix Lights. If a physiological explanation were the sole reason for UFO sightings, it would seem inconsistent with large groups of witnesses across varied demographics. Experiences like these often suggest that something external is influencing a wide range of people simultaneously, and this challenges Nolan’s hypothesis.
Qualifications and Misrepresentation – Your observation about Nolan’s credentials raises ethical concerns. Misrepresentations can mislead the public, especially in sensitive areas like health and medical treatment. It’s understandable to expect clarity from prominent figures in academia, particularly when it comes to their professional capacities. If others assume he provides medical treatment due to a lack of correction on his part, it can create a troubling misunderstanding.
The Dr. Greer comparison is especially striking, as both figures have garnered attention within the UFO discourse but also face skepticism regarding their claims and the legitimacy of their expertise. Ultimately, critical thinking is essential when assessing any figure in this field. It’s important to balance open-mindedness with skepticism and to demand evidence for extraordinary claims, especially regarding subjects as complex and nuanced as UFOs and NHI.
What’s clear is that the discourse around UFOs continues to evolve, and scrutiny of those leading the conversation is a healthy part of the process.
