My Journey to Believer.

My Transformation to a Believer

I wanted to share my journey with this group—how, in just a few weeks, I went from thinking “UFO enthusiasts are just delusional” to becoming a full-fledged believer.

As a naturally skeptical and analytical individual, I had never paid attention to UFOs or UAPs until that groundbreaking New York Times article in 2017. Although it intrigued me, my growing career soon pulled my focus elsewhere. If you had asked me about the possibility of non-human intelligence, I would have readily acknowledged its statistical likelihood. After all, with an ever-expanding universe filled with countless planetary systems, it seemed impossible that we were alone. But the question of whether they are visiting us? I was agnostic at best.

Then, a few weeks ago, I felt compelled to delve back into the world of UAP. I revisited that 2017 article, explored recent hearings, and discovered some truly troubling yet fascinating information. I read books by Jacques Vallee and Leslie Kean, along with government archives from the U.S. and Australia.

While there are plenty of frauds and false reports in this field, a critical thinker can sift through the noise and arrive at some undeniable truths:

• In the mid-1940s, significant man-made atmospheric events took place on Earth, followed a few years later by credible sightings of flying saucers. Over the decades, there have been credible accounts of UAP observing nuclear facilities, sometimes disabling our electrical systems.

• From the beginning, the government acknowledged that these were real, physical phenomena, as evidenced by their own internal records. Yet, they made a concerted effort to suppress public interest in UAP, as indicated by released memos.

• For over 80 years, credible military officials, commercial pilots, radar operators, astronomers, and ordinary citizens have reported UAP exhibiting capabilities far beyond our own technology. Despite advancements, we have yet to catch up.

These points are objective facts. You can draw your own conclusions from them, but I am convinced that our inability to match this technology indicates it isn’t ours. I don’t know where these UAP originate, but it’s clear they are not from our version of Earth. Some of these entities seem particularly interested in nuclear weapons. While there’s no current evidence suggesting a threat, we can’t rule out future possibilities.

Once you reach this conclusion, it’s striking to realize how few people seem to be paying attention. I felt the need to share my thoughts, and I hope that’s welcome here.

ETA: I didn’t include specific sources initially, which may have led to some confusion. Just a few weeks ago—previously unaware of the extensive literature outside the 2017 article—I actively sought out Vallee and Kean’s early work, focusing on credible, scientific perspectives in this area.

In addition to the Invisible College and Kean’s collection of testimonies from officials and pilots, I avoided sources that profit from UFO narratives, including certain well-known figures. I have concerns about how financial incentives might influence credible minds in this field. I’m not interested in what dubious individuals claimed at last year’s UFO convention.

I also looked into the COMETA report, which is government-related, so I should clarify my earlier reference to government documents to also include quasi-governmental sources from France. I personally verified documents discovered through secondary sources by accessing them on official government websites. I consider government archives to be generally truthful, albeit not comprehensive.

The assertions I stand by are listed in the bullet points above. I’m prepared to defend those statements, and only those. That’s the extent of my argument for now.
