I've been watching some UFO films of late, out of general interest. Without getting into what I, or you, believe...would someone with some experience care to comment for me? I have questions...
In these times of excellent photo resolution, why is *everything* so blurry, never mind what is purported to be photoshopped out? Surely distance and camera resolution are not this much of a problem? Or do you state that we are being shown purposely blurred stuff?
Although there are differences between the various videos, there seems to be a fairly common 'library' of images. I presume everyone who makes a new video is cutting and pasting to suit their current statement. Are they borrowing from each other, or is there a central 'bank' of films? I'm thinking, for instance, of the large spaceship that was purported to be the focus of Apollo 20 mission, and the pictures/videos of the pilot with those oddly clumsy gimmicks pasted on her face? Likewise those pictures of alien cities on the moon, which to me look a lot like concept art from sci-fi novels of the '60s, which was my era. (I'm not poo-pooing; just saying. I have an open mind at the moment. Please enlighten me.)
There's a lot of really ham-fisted production out there. Needlessly dramatic music that all but drowns the narrator, regional accents (I suppose there's no help for that, but it doesn't make for authority), dumb sci-fi graphics at beginning and end that are better suited to toy advertising...you know, if this really is a serious discussion, I don't understand why all this infantile approach appeals to anybody.
And also with that, there is a proportion of the videos I see that are narrated by what can only be described as goofballs, people who you think must be high on something. False jocularity, dumb vocal dynamics that detract from their points, it's so damn irritating! It's not that I want everybody to have a grave, uninflected, unemotional voice. I get it that some people are quite excited by stuff they've found, like the fellow who spotted something bouncing across the moon with his home equipment, and then couldn't get an answer from NASA even months later. But I don't think the subject is improved by redneck foolishness. So why do it? Is this just internet freedom at work, and the people who care about this stuff really are goofy? Or would you like me to know that there's nothing to see, nothing to know, just move along to something that makes sense, that's right....
Sorry, bit of a rant. But I sincerely ask you, intelligent science person. What's up with this blurriness, both photographic and in communication?

The UFO conspiracy environment is corrupted with a lot of disinformation and discrediting tactics. There's a lot of BS to sift through.

Very true. I read a bunch of stuff last night, now this morning I'm sitting here thinking: the whole thing about UFOs and aliens is just a part of this experience. By far more important is the revelation that the lies and crime and suborning and viciousness and unimaginable cruelty all go so very much deeper than I've ever thought about. That's the issue now. I'll get back to UFOs, or rather take in what I can along the way, but I got to tell you, I'm baffled this morning about where you set out to understand, never mind correct, this incredibly ugly human condition where lies and more lies are, most likely, the object of a lot of glee and wild craziness among the group that creates it.
Clearly I am an innocent lamb. Led a pretty sheltered life, I admit it. It's so disappointing. I remember reading in a book by Scott Peck years ago, "People Of The Lie", that most of us are so conditioned away from believing the worst of others, that when we encounter something truly evil we have no mental framework with which to perceive it! And so, end up not even comprehending what we're looking at. I feel that way now. My thanks to these more experienced souls who have given me such a poor night's rest; I do thank you. I still have no idea what I might do with this information, but at least I'm not as asleep as I was yesterday. That has to count for something, right?
Thanks again. I'm not looking forward to this course of study.

Really this kind of disinformation awareness applies to almost any kind of study, whether history or occult or conspiracy. You always have to be aware of those that are there to lead you in the wrong direction through diversionary tactics or outright lies. I would strongly suggest the work of Mark Passio, who has been my guide and mentor. He has a podcast which if you listen to from the first one will give you a broad and deep knowledge base with which to work from. You might want to start here with his Natural Law Seminar. Congratulations on taking the first steps of this journey, you will be rewarded for your work with greater awareness and wisdom about our world.
