Increased UFO Sightings (Opinion)

I had mentioned in my last pot that I have a third theory about what might be going on with the increased sightings. I have to admit that this one is my favorite. In many ways I hope that this is the reality.

I wonder if we are being prepared for the government to admit what they know about Alien races, and part of that admission is that our government has had contact.

The UK Ministry of Defense ahas already said that they are keeping an open mind on the subject. They have released years of data. Politicians have admited to seeing UFOs. And perhaps there is increased activity.

Why now? Perhaps, for whatever reason, the governments of the world and whatever alien race is in contact have decided that it is time for that contact to become public?

I had enough training in science in high school even to know that this theory is more about what I want than what is probably the truth. I don't mind, part of the allure of the paranormal and UFOs is thinking about "What if?".

Of course, that "What if?" remembers all those Star Gate episodes when the Aliens appeared friendly, but really had the destruction of human kind in mind..... (Insert dramatic music or evil laugh here)

Do you have any thought abour what is going on?

A UFO Spotting Chicken Farmer Makes News as Politician

"A UFO-SPOTTING former chicken farmer could hold the balance of power in
the Northern Territory's new government after Labor took a hammering at
the polls."

I have stumbled across this opening paragraph, or something very similar many times in the last week.

Gary Woods is an Australian politician in what the Northern Territories. As far as I can gather, he has been in parliament since 2001, and now is in a position to hold an important vote.

Now, I do not understand Australian politics, and do not wish to push into that aspect of this story. Something else strikes me everytime I hear about this.

Most of the articles on this man start off this way. You have to get deeper into the story to find his name, political leanings, or anything else about him.

First, I understand that he is making news because he could soon have more power as a politician. But are they surprised that a UFO sighter could hold power? Or a chicken farmer? Perhaps one or the other is ok, but to combine the two failings is amazing! Look what he has risen above!

And the UFO sighting isn't even a footnote. As I pointed out, it is right there, right away!

We have had our own politician in The United States who has reported seeing a UFO. To his credit, Dennis Kucinich was outed by his friend, Shirley MacLaine, when her book was published. Former president Jimmy Carter also claimed to have seen a UFO.

But these are footnotes in the American press. Interesting, something to throw in the mix, but ultimately, not a deal breaker. I think Kucinich benefited more than he was hurt by this story. He definitely got more name recognition from the story than he had before.

Later I am going to write a post that Australia is having a surge in UFO sightings I think Mr. Woods experience is quite fitting, considering the times.
