1952 Washington DC UFO Flap as 'reality filter'

#1
Kornee Offline
I have now numerous times posted various links to what is arguably THE most impressive clincher regarding 'otherworldly' nature of UFOs.
The July 1952 Washington DC Flap incidents occurring in two extended encounters, a week apart. Here's one such among many similar YouTube vid recountings:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grJDOJVRK2A
Wikipedia article was another go to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_Washi...O_incident
Always directed attention to the contrast between 5 - 'Air Force explanation', and 6 - 'Criticisms of the Air Force explanation'.
That recurring theme of official lies and coverups has arguably continued to the present day.

Again, the response from SF pseudo skeptics to all of that was invariably silence.
Never and still doesn't suit a preferred hackneyed narrative - 'show us good evidence'! Show us saucer bits and pieces! Show us dissected greys/LGM bits and pieces! Or live ones!
Sure. Just keep ignoring that all the marshaled and well documented evidence in that case speaks loudly to 'not of this world' AND 'not of this physical reality'.

Whenever such links were posted over at SF, the unvarying response was - no response. And that highlights the mindset divide between pseudo skeptics and JR stereotyped 'ufo nuts'. I'll go with the 'nuts' (at least one of them anyway) any day, as having a more credible, consistent handle on what's believable and what's not.

BTW - none of this has anything to do with luvin butterflies and pixie dust. It means taking a principled, definite stand, in the face of trenchant majority opinion criticism.

Hey, nothing wrong with butterflies and pixie dust! lol

Regarding SF - the title of MR’s long running thread there that was once focused on space aliens has changed to examining UAP’s with a sincere heart. I think the tone has changed and it’s been an interesting exchange of ideas now.

Ha ha ha ha. Well you at least have read the post Leigha. Sorry for coming across as maybe abrasive. My message is - this topic has been done to death a thousand times yet (nearly) everyone still seems to be in a perpetual state of Groundhog Day mode. I think you know what I mean. Rolleyes

It’s kind of like politics. Big Grin

But seriously, though - the tone changed in terms of other members taking the time to explain their positions without dismissing the different view points of others. Ad homs have lessened. What more can one ask for?

I’d say that I’m fine with accepting that we simply can’t know what some of these UAP’s are at this time. Leaping to space aliens can feel fun because we humans enjoy a good mystery, but that can close the dialogue just as easily as hardcore skeptics.

“Unexplained” is a step in the right direction as opposed to these sightings being dismissed entirely. The US government is taking these sightings seriously, so why shouldn’t we?

Surely. Anyway.....
I must remember to remember that Wikipedia articles are subject to often frequent and sometimes severe editing. And so it has been with that link in #1 to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_Washi...O_incident
Which is current version as of May 24, 2022. I had no idea the section "Criticisms of the Air Force explanation" had become so whittled down as to be useless!
Compare to a much earlier, initially listed version from Nov 13, 2019:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit...=926798561

Clearly someone(s) with a very pro official line pov has been doing some drastic culling between then and now.
