UFO Spy

First of all, understand that the reason that mainstream science doesn’t take ghosts and UFOs seriously is that they are not *reproducible*. This does not mean that they are *not real*. The scientific method requires reproducibility in order to establish proof. However, there are clearly some things that slip through the cracks. Scientific skepticism is very important on one level, but I have a hard time letting the official story of mainstream science shape my understanding of the whole of reality. In other words, I am skeptical of the official positions on ghosts and UFOs. Besides, many of the world’s greatest advances in science came from scientists on the fringe (or that were considered to be fringe for their time period and location). Also, many of the positions of mainstream science have been wrong. Scientists once thought that the sound barrier couldn’t be broken, and it now looks as if the theory of global warming is questionable:

Consider ghosts. Do people have hallucinations? Yes. Do some people tell lies? Yes. Are people sometimes mistaken about what they see? Yes. Are many ghost stories debunked? Yes. However, consider the sheer volume of ghost sightings. Consider the fact that (and this is important) many ghosts were seen by multiple people. What are the odds of a room full of people hallucinating at the exact same time, AND having the exact same hallucination? Very low. An apple falling from a tree has a better chance of falling up instead of down (which is statistically possible … it’s like one in a googleplex or something). There have been cases where the same ghost has been seen by many people over many years. Are they scientifically reproducible? No. Will the claimants win Randi’s alleged 1 million dollar prize? No. …… Are they all unreal? I strongly doubt it.

Consider UFOs. Consider the sheer volume of cases. Many people, including pilots and astronauts, have seen them. Are some UFO cases just stories? Yes. Are some just circular-shaped clouds, airplanes, birds, or other normal Earthly objects? Yes. But let’s be serious – many UFO claims are seen by multiple people, are seen very clearly, and they reflect a technology far superior to anything that we can do. Alien abductions sound horrific, and I can understand people’s reasons for wanting to believe them all to be false. Unfortunately, alien abductions have been witnessed by others, and a while later, the abducted people return with intrusive marks on their bodies, and nightmarish stories that bear striking similarities to other people’s accounts of alien abductions. Like ghosts, UFOs are not reproducible. ET and Casper don’t come when they’re called like a good dog would. Many people have taken photos of what they claim to be ghosts and/or UFOs, but without reproducibility, they may never be accepted. Just consider the sheer size of the universe. Abiogenesis is a very complex process, and the evolution of intelligent life is complex, and all of the conditions need to be perfect (especially for abiogenesis), but despite this, astrobiologists figure that there are probably at least several intelligent species in our galaxy alone that are capable of space flight. AND, there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe. Folding space is theoretically possible, meaning that it wouldn’t take them thousands, millions, or billions of years to get here. It could take them less time to get to the Earth than it would take you to get up from your computer to go use the toilet. Why haven’t they officially contacted humanity? Who knows. Maybe they’re studying us like we would study some animal in the jungle. We can ‘what if’ until the cows come home. The real question is whether or not ALL of the UFO sightings are false. Are they scientifically reproducible? No. ……… Are they all unreal? I’m doubtin’ it big time, baby.

Yeah, as always, skeptics have wiggle room, but bear in mind that hiding behind the official position of mainstream science will only enable you to hide from the full scope of reality for so long. It’s not a fairy tale if it’s real. For the longest time, the Trojans mentioned by the ancient Greeks were considered to be mythical (about as real as cyclopses). People continued to believe this until an archaeologist uncovered the ancient city of Troy in 1868. Yes, the Trojans were real. The city was actually built and re-built many times. It’s located in what is now Turkey, and it was definitely very real: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy

What’s real is real. Skeptics can showcase their debunked cases all they want to. All it takes is ONE for me to be right … one real ghost, one real UFO … out of all those cases.
