A poignant way to end the opinion piece, one in which I think we can all agree:

I suspect that, from here on out, this topic will become more popular — and somewhat less respectable. A few years ago, UAPs were an issue on which a few people “in the know” could speculate, secure in the knowledge they weren’t going to receive much publicity or pushback. As the chatter increases, the issue will become more prominent, but at the same time a lot of smart observers will dismiss the whole thing because they heard that someone testified before Congress about seeing dead aliens.

I am well aware that many people may conclude that some US officials, or some parts of the US government, have gone absolutely crazy. But even under that dismissive interpretation, it is likely that there will be further surprises.

Man, when someone trolls someone for asking a question and then demands they apologize for misunderstanding after they admitted they were wrong? That’s open mindedness and the free spirit of debate right there. What a rush!

Classy. Honestly Fuzz, maybe go outside for a walk or something. Ask Pepsi to join, y'all both could use some ice cream and sunshine. It's a beautiful day!

Is it weird that they're way more devoted to and on top of this thread than I am, and I'm actually interested in the subject matter?

They must shun their employers and significant others (assuming they have ones) just to check on the alien thread that they think is dumb.

Getting ice cream with Fuzz sounds great.

- Ice cream
- Hanging out with Fuzz
- Walking in the sunshine

As a bonus, we get to come back to Muta crying for an apology that we didn’t get him one and Trent asking “how did you possibly have time for ice cream? Did you abandon your entire family and friend group for days to make this impossible journey? Does anyone else find it weird that I don’t understand how long anything takes? I find it strange that people enjoy ice cream, they must not be employed for I am employed and do not understand ice cream!”

Just being the devils advocate here.....

It's hard to have discussions about anything where there is overreaching on what people have said. Nerves get frayed and harsh words are said. Can we not stick to what someone has said as opposed to looking for the bogeyman?

That being said I few a few broken windows in my glass house to repair

For those that are interested in the UAP topic and want to actually chat about UAPs - and without the obstruction, judgement and keyboard warriorism - I'm happy to add you to the UFO/UAP Enthusiasts and Pragmatists social group.

Me when Muta posts a Simpsons clip: “Nice.”

Muta when literally anyone else posts a Simpsons clip: *shallow, laboured breathing* “did you just attack me by calling me Bill Clinton? I… I demand… I demand an apology!!!”

You and Fuzz totally exchange long protein strings when you're not on CP.

This is the worst thread I've ever seen, lol. Could be good, but just crazy levels of bickering and fighting. The thread did not require gatekeeping just because there's skeptics, and that was the breakdown, imo.

It never works in adult discussion to say "OMG, you guys don't believe this and it's annoying, this is a happy fun place and you're not welcome!!!".

Plus, the real fun in speculating the unknown is in simulation theory. Just fascinating stuff and honestly the more we move towards and understand quantum mechanics the more you start to wonder.

If anyone was looking for an awesome read on it pick up Something deeply hidden by Sean Carrol

This topic reminds of the discussions I sometimes have with 2 friends of mine who are hard core Trump supporters. Any suggestions on how I dispose of 2 dead bodies?

In High River? Just wait for a storm and put them outside to wash away with the rest of the town.
