Where did you find the video please?

You're talking complete and utter nonsense.

@@DamienWalter Respectfully, (No, not really.). I have personally viewed the video of the female Scientist at JPL giving her own explanations of what "some" of the UAP are (Orbs and other bizarre shaped craft) which for years have been making an appearance, and that is how she explained her views on the subject. I am only passing along her words. There are numerous accounts of UFO's over our Missile Fields and military bases, and affecting the operations of the Command Crews, going back several decades. As far as the accounts of Craft and beings visiting the Earth, one need only do a deep dive into the various accounts of personal interactions with craft and beings of different types, which are on You Tube. Some are just fluff pieces and nebulous - in fact most are. Click bait with no substance. However, the two accounts I mentioned had details and factors which were unique and the persons involved provided details provided by the humanoids (Quite human like beings) that they encountered and details which cannot be ignored. One event was in England in 1922 and the Inter-Galactic Beings described forms of nuclear power to come, as well as other descriptive communications. The beings used telepathy to communicate (all do) - and explained that they had traveled from another Galaxy, and details about the beings on other worlds - the vast number with which they were familiar. The other account was from 1955. Both are on You Tube. There are many other people directly involved with this issue and trying to bring it out into the open with full disclosure, as one perhaps has noticed the attempts in our Senate and Congress - which have failed. Some - in fact many seem to believe that many or most extraterrestrial Beings (Be they Galactic, or from other Dimensions or Alternate Universes) are "Demons" - which I find ridiculous. So there is obviously a many leveled acceptance of this or that and rejection of this or that. The two accounts I viewed that I have mentioned are believable to myself. And I am sceptic about a lot of material swirling about the UFO, UAP, and history/ creation of man by aliens/ Watchers/ Over Lords/ and all the rest. What do you tend to believe, if any thing in this regard?

That's exactly what the essay does not say. But a paradigm shift in physics could make any kids books fantasy a reality. Starships are just the one you happen to like.

But loved myth. All myth is symbolic.

@@DamienWalter He did love mythology, but he also complained that far too many people confuse applicability for allegory. It is true, I see it today. It's worse in the US where they waste all sorts of time talking about how everything is a symbol or allegory for something other than the plain reading. As a result if anyone ever gets famous, people think his story is all code for something else or something personal. Applicability means you can find meaning in it, whereas allegory means the meaning is already set by the author.

@@Procopius464 Tolkien disliked allegory because he wanted his work read as myth. He did not reject symbolism.

He must have experienced the revelation that the humans felt nothing about killing him. I'm not sure I'd label that xenophobia though.

@@DamienWalter Though we love to remember the "Open the bay doors, HAL" scene, the humans were only trying to protect themselves from HAL in the first place because HAL was clearly unstable, and therefore potentially dangerous. Why did HAL _initially_ start behaving in a bizarre manner? My interpretation on that first reading was that it was actively trying to sabotage the mission because it didn't want to find out what was waiting for them on Io. It was afraid of whatever extraterrestrial intelligence left those artifacts behind. So, I'm referring to literal xenophobia, not to fear of humans.

Well, someone had to have the shittiest opinion. Well done.
