When examining the UFO phenomenon, relying solely on the empirical, experimental methodology of science is, in my opinion, completely insufficient for explaining the core concepts and events. This phenomenon possesses a metaphysical, post-physical dimension that cannot be confined to tangible data alone. Because we are dealing with an inherently multidisciplinary subject, it remains entirely in a gray area. Furthermore, these roots do not belong to the modern era alone; this phenomenon has clear counterparts and echoes across traditional religions, mythology, and ancient history. To completely dismiss and ignore these occurrences—which have managed to exist in both the empirical and metaphysical realms of human experience—simply because they do not fit into our current scientific paradigms is a major intellectual error and a form of reductionist escapism. This massive historical and philosophical backdrop demonstrates that we need a highly serious, comprehensive, and organized framework to properly interpret the phenomenon. We must always leave the door open to all possibilities the universe presents. Today, when we encounter any UFO footage, it is just as plausible that it represents a highly advanced, classified human technology hidden from the public (such as Zero-Point Energy) as it is possible that it belongs to a consciousness or entity operating entirely outside the boundaries of our sensory perception. However, when analyzing these phenomena, the "certification" (the official acknowledgement and documentation) of these events by governments or ruling powers remains a critical barrier. It is highly probable that a revolutionary, undisclosed technology—again, like zero-point energy—would be immediately perceived by the general public as non-human technology. At this exact junction, since states will never act outside of their own strategic and geopolitical interests, that anticipated official certification will never truly happen. The phenomenon will intentionally be kept in a perpetual gray area by those in power. Therefore, waiting for a top-down, institutional "disclosure" is unequivocally a futile effort. submitted by /u/Emergency_Height_165 [link] [comments]
