Months ago when I was churning up discord posting in General and even here where there seemed to be mostly disbelievers suddenly this forum is full of video podcast and what seem to be mostly followers of the fact we are not alone here on earth or in the universe. When did you awaken suddenly? Even posting something as factual as Congressional testimonies from whistleblowers under oath would get locked. |

I think most of the regulars in this sub forum have been onboard and up to speed on the topic for years or decades. We have had some incredible discussions here, well moderated, and deep. GD has been a bit of a lost cause, at least for me. |

| It is an excellent sub forum. I mostly enjoy lurking and reading or watching the linked videos. Most of the topics I’ve had an interest in for years. It provides some pretty darn good brain food to digest. Both the content and comments from folks with more IQ points than myself. |

| I was a skeptic a long time ago, but I've experienced a few things over the 60 years i've been around and talked to some friends and family that had a few experiences, a couple of whom are very religious and wouldn't tell a lie to save their life. I do enjoy reading this sub forum. |

I don’t remember when I decided to swing over here and get geeky with the Woo (I saw a UFO when I was a kid and that was a long time ago.), but I’ve always had that side of me and appreciate the space to talk about it. |

I only ask that you are polite about it rather than the GD "skeptics" who use that term to excuse being an ass to everybody. I've given up there except for just a couple subjects (car/other building projects and Gun762's art class threads) Some people just crap in a forum and claim they are skeptical and don't trust some public figure or whatnot, when they have a tendency to crap in every thread about most everybody but use the same "skeptical" excuse when they're really here to disrupt, I don't allow that in this sub forum. Skeptics are good at sometimes asking just the right question to get brains turning on a topic and potentially generating an "aha" moment for others, either positive or negative, they help people think and that is what I feel this forum is mostly about. Thinking and analysis and assistance with both if confused just ask. Usually there's a youtube video that explains something clean and clear or one of us will bumble through a rambling explanation. We all knew nothing at some point, we've all been wrong at some point(s), we're all still wrong about something, and learning is figuring out which is which and to correct it, the more you think and exercise your brain, the better it gets. If you get to the point you can explain a topic to a middle schooler, then you pretty much understand it (well, as long as it's not an incorrect explanation...). |

| Always been fascinated with this stuff since watching In search of with Leonard Nimoy. Read some books, watched some shows, C2C and such. Wasn't til Internet became mainstream and someone turned me on to Anomalies.org back in the early 2000s that really flipped my lid. |

Here’s a piece of a space ship, here’s a dead alien, or something besides a video that you don’t even know what it is? I suppose it doesn't matter what is brought forward as proof. No matter what is presented, a certain segment will be screaming either "psyop!!!", "Hoax!!!", or "Disinfo" and then they never post in that thread again. Just stopping by to do their daily thread crapping for somebody. It's gotten worse a bit lately (GD bleeding to here) so PLEASE use the report button when Post are made with zero new information or subject not on topic other than to make it a trashed topic, the sooner you report, the sooner it's fixed. I'm not messing around like GD mods who at times seem to coddle/continually forgive the disruptors when they're trying to inject disinfo or disruptive statements then say "I was just joking". Lastly replying with only one meme and no text describing your view on it beyond quoting somebody and posting a meme which we've all seen before. I remove those posts when I see them. In short, this is the paranormal discussion forum and single meme photos without wrapping an opinion arou8nd it and the e meme to help illustrate point isn't an issue, just the no other info, just posting a meme like Art bell looking up, the anal probe one, the X-files "I want to believe" poster and similar |

| Look at the tech. So far advanced, and better than any other country's. Then look at the so-called ('politicians' that are in China's pocket) that want the tech. No way would I ever allow all that knowledge out to those sleazebags. I think 'they' are doing a fine job confusing the issue. |

Here's a piece of a space ship, here's a dead alien, or something besides a video that you don't even know what it is? I often thought about this note of yours - saw many frustrated comments. Heck, even I have been frustrated often. It's been the constant blue balls as the consequence of actions and speeches from some specific public speakers - hard to say if it was a mixture of greed, sincere interest, an acceleration of the discovery of knowledge and layers of disinformation over the decades. One thing that is now clearer to me is - in fact - the complexity of the layers that the US (and I must then think, the rest of those nations who do have secret programs on the subject) has carefully wrapped the subject with. I can't overstate it - most of us don't grasp it. It's been literally buried and wrapped with an infinite number of layers of secrecy with deadly traps everywhere. Compartmentalization, classification - it took decades at the highest levels. Talking about brilliant people who hid everything in an almost inextricable way - we're dealing with this now. It's not over at all - we are on the edge of it and then we're not. It's going to take time, I have somewhat already made indigestion (and recovered from it) - I am sort on the patience is virtue position now, as long as we can talk about it and continue to talk about it. My perception is that once the onion starts losing its layers, eventually we do get to the core and there are times when my eyes are teary for it (onions, we know, tend to have that effect on the eyes). ETA sorry, missed the conclusion of my script to you - it's evident enough now that if you attempt at catastrophic disclosure as a single individual (i.e., ".. here's the ship!") you die. Your life is over. By design of the United States of America. See you on Friday, |

This forum is well moderated and the thinkers are amazing. It's truly home. I've been grateful openly for a good while. Well said man. Well said.  This forum is probably the very best open discussion of the topic on the web. We get respectful people far more often than not. Everyone can share an opinion or idea and not be stressed about it. We can all share our take, agreeing or disagreeing. But the magic happens when we start using those left field ideas as anchor points for making connections. The best things here often come from “you know, X that sounds like this Y, but different by being Z”. Then another person with experiences and knowledge contribute another puzzle piece. You don’t get that on places like Reddit or Facebook. The moderation is very important. We have all gotten carried away at some point and had a post pulled, and thats OK too. Keeping focused is what makes this place work. |

The government swoops in and grabs any evidence, makes threats, and has the ability to wipe anything off the internet. Plenty of posts and videos have disappeared from various places even if there's only a bit of truth exposed. |
Everything posted above is factual. Maybe.

It's a lot slower than GD but there is a much better signal to noise ratio. There are probably less than 20 of us here posting regularly though.
