Badly identified would
seem to the more adequate expression, because one way or the other
the UFO phenomenon is indeed identified under multiple forms by a
wide spectrum of specialists, that goes from non-believers to the
ultra-skeptics. People and organizations continually produce new
suppositions about it and the only common characteristics the
suppositions have are that all of them are fought over and
passionately defended by their respective followers, those from the
UFO spectrum. The well perceived suppositions don't necessarily have
to be understood. Enthusiasm is sufficient.
But would it be reasonable or wise to put all of the thousands of
testimonies collected worldwide about the apparitions of strange
objects and luminous shapes under one label?
The most respected scholars, who for the most part are also the most
worthy, are so because they really try to unmask the reality of the
facts in an impartial way; without preconceived ideas, estimate that
between 85% to 95% of the reports on flying saucers are false
alarms. Either they are perfectly well known atmospheric phenomena –
although rare – or they are open mystery theories.
The small percentage of unexplained cases still have to be divided
into two distinct groups: one dealing with luminous objects of
undefined and or changeable shapes, and the other of the defined
flying objects, of metallic appearance that generally look like two
upside down saucers facing each other.
For the certain non-conformists of the ever-growing contingent of
astronomical fantasies, it can be safely affirmed that the group
composed of unknown luminous objects are an exclusively natural
phenomena. And this is due to a very simple reason, quiet
commonplace in fact: nothing that takes place in nature, or through
it, can be unnatural. This hypothesis is already quite impossible by
the etymology of the very word nature. The only unnatural thing is
the behavior of humans that on encountering a natural phenomenon
they don't understand they feel they have the right to feed their
morbid fantasy (excuse the pleonasm) with the most hallucinated
explanations. And not only hallucinated but also irritating, for the
more absurd it is, the more unlikely the explanation could be, thus
the more interest it will provoke in another group of even more
numerous humans that form a single, extensive, compact and sadly
credulous mass of fickle enthusiasts.
It would be a much more dignified attitude in these cases, in fact
the only dignified one, to sincerely affirm: “I don't know anything
about it”, or better: “With the knowledge and resources that we
have, we cannot clarify yet the cause and the purpose of these
phenomena.” This would be much wiser than to try to disguise one’s
own ignorance by nourishing those who know nothing at all with some
pseudo-esoteric-scientific nonsense. For it is neither the pose of
an intellectual, nor a pretentious, mystical, peaceful appearance
that makes a dilettante a wise man.
These interesting luminous phenomena, already witnessed by many and
even registered in photos and films, are natural occurrences,
absolutely natural, for if they were not so they simply could not
happen. The inflexible laws that rule Creation do not permit
unnatural manifestations.
These luminous shapes or forms originate from our own planet; they
are part of earth’s nature, just like the other atmospheric
phenomena, as the aurora borealis, or the practically unknown “Saint
Elmo’s Fire” and the extremely rare “Ray-Ball”. The fact that the
origin and the meaning of these forms are still not understood
should only serve as an incentive for us to deal with the planet we
live on more seriously, and deepen our understanding of the
phenomena that take place on it. We should pay more attention to the
maintenance and preservation of this home that was delegated to us,
without allowing our imagination to drag us off to the far ends of
the galaxies. Wild imagination provokes fantasy, which in turn
fertilizes vanity and presumption. Our performance is here on Earth,
for it is the only thing we can fully develop. The sincere will to
understand the laws that govern nature and act according to them
brings about as the first and most important effect, a reawakened
humility, which is in fact the most important basic condition for
the understanding of any phenomenon in Creation.
In relation to the second group of strange phenomena, the one about
the “alien spaceships”, this diagnosis is simpler, as there are only
two possible causes capable of abducting the innocent and unwary: a
shameless lie or impudent fantasy. For, whoever can imagine the
following three possibilities; beings from other planets circling
Earth from distant galaxies, or from the future, or even still from
the beyond, clearly have the time to waste with such topics and are
completely unaware of the laws of Creation (and even the laws of
physics).
Of course it is also a ridiculous presumption to imagine that just
our small planet is inhabited. Luckily, there are many scientists
who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life, for the most
elementary calculation of probability demonstrates the untenability
of this puerile and egocentric conception, that life is a restricted
miracle to Earth. Nevertheless, it is impossible for the inhabitants
of these planets to make courtesy visits to one another in
spaceships.
Also the widespread, popular idea about the appearance of
extraterrestrial beings, as green humanoids with big heads and
almond-shaped eyes, and even other similar anatomical aberrations,
is naturally, just one more product of that incurable and contagious
disease called the human fantasy. Fantasy, induces people to believe
in absurdities like this, while the intellect, indissolubly tied
down to matter, for a long time now has undertaken the act of
extinguishing the true knowledge about the beings of nature, the
enteals – yes, these really exist – from peoples minds, exiling them
far away, to the kingdoms of mythology, legends, and fairy tales.
Concerning the looks of the inhabitants of other worlds, man today
firmly believes in the distorted appearance generated by his own
delirious fantasy, and (the irony of ironies) is that this same
fantasy is applied to the knowledge about the existence of the
beings of nature here on Earth, only because man has lost, through
his own negligence, the capacity to see and integrate with them.
Yes, millions of planets are inhabited but humans like us inhabit
them. The human form of the creature that was created according to
the image of its Creator is the same everywhere. And we earthlings
could have even established contact with inhabitants of other
planets, if only we had just developed the right way. Not
technologically, but spiritually. For example, those who work with
astronomy today could have gotten to the stage of consciously
contacting human beings on other planets, who like us, are also
spiritual beings. Only a live vibrating spirit is capable of
overcoming the immeasurable distances of the material universe, not
a technically dead or heavy spirit that can barely make a tiny
vehicle run around a few miserable kilometers on Mars that is stuck
to Earth in astronomical terms. However, the possibility of
spiritual contact with beings from other planets and many other
things is completely impossible for this earthbound humanity,
because through our own free will we stunted the scope of our
development, what else could have happened within the narrow
confines of matter.
The human of today can form no idea of how much he has limited
himself and of how much he has lost by unconditionally submitting
himself to perishable matter. First of all he has closed off the
doors of Paradise by himself, then he has lost the knowledge that he
had about the beings of nature, and last of all he has totally
isolated himself in the universe, placing the planet in a dark cloud
that keeps it inaccessible to any higher spiritual influence.
The comforting image for many, of spaceships leaving Earth to cross
the cosmos on exploration or colonization missions, is just a shy
attempt of the unconscious yearning of spirits that have long been
suffocated by the intellect. Beings that have provoked their own
atrophy and that still only manage to get a shimmer of hope as the
rockets ascend... but not the ascension of their own spirit. |
