Another thing I wanted to mention in this post is the recent court cases with testimonials that the government has aliens in hiding and etc. This website gives a brief synopsis of the trial. Apparently, some government pilots had seen some alien aircraft and many questions that officials had for them he insisted they had to be in a confidential setting. If you've heard about this please comment below! I'm very interested in what other people in this class are thinking about these trials. Am I crazy for thinking theres at least a morsel of truth behind this?

UFO sightings
UFOs and aliens are a symbol for most people that says we're not alone in this big galaxy. The belief in aliens serves as a deflection of dispair in everyday lives. The high following of the belief that one day aliens will come to our planet and either help us towards a utopian world or send us spiraling into a dystopian world could be seen as a form of religion. This article better explains how the belief and faith in aliens can be considered a religion. By looking at UFO sightings in this regard, I can definitely see why so many people desperately try to cling onto this belief by turning towards unreliable pseudoscience. I guess you could consider it to be a sort of 'blissful ignorance' to have this untrue faith. However, living in this false state of denial can lead to more problems than solutions.

Hey Kathy, I find how you link the belief in the existence of aliens to religion to be quite interesting and the article you linked to support that was very insightful. Honestly, I find the idea that there is some other form of life that exists outside earth to be pretty likely considering how vast the universe is. However, I can absolutely see how believing intelligent life will or may have already come to visit us on earth is similar to religious beliefs.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteI find aliens or extraterrestrial life to be fascinating. I also agree that your link between aliens and religion to be interesting. I believe that it is irrational to think we are the only ones in this universe. Seeing recent news and more information to the public being released I am looking forward to seeing more solid evidence about other life.
