Ripples of Reality

Copyright 2021, InterAmerica, Inc.

Most of you visiting here and reading this know that realities of various kinds are spiking all around us.

The UFO reality is what we deal with here, but is a UFO-reality like our everyday-reality or like Quantum Reality, which is as abstruse and odd as anything we might imagine?

If  UFOs are substantively quantum in nature or just similar to quantum by being queer compared to Newtonian physics or reality, which itself has its own quirks, are they [UFOs] a real key or clue to our understanding of existence, or just one more insertion into the confusing mix we call life?

Yes, I know some of you don’t want to intermix quasi-philosophical or metaphysical questioning into the UFO conversation, but UFOs are a persistent ingredient of our lives, especially those of us hooked on the phenomenon.

In an evaluation of the film Midnight Cowboy by Louis Menand in the 4/12/21 New Yorker [Page 62 ff.], Menand quotes James Leo Herlihy, author of the novel the movie was based on:

“It seems to me that the fundamental experience of being alive on this planet is a gothic and grotesque experience … It’s really a frightening place …”  [Page 64]

When one reads or comes across the paranormal experiences of humanity, from day one, and the historical record of human beings and society, one can only agree with Herlihy.

UFOs, in that context, seems to be a relatively passive element, an unusual but impotent phenomenon, grist for conversation or hobbying but little more, even though some would like to make it otherwise.

Fascinating incursions of many kinds assault us, but, for this blog, it’s the spectacle of things seen in the sky or encountered on the ground,scaring the bejeesus out of some people and entrancing others, that pertains.

It’s one of many intrusions of reality, and while I try to keep it within the bounds of ufology, I’m forced by curiosity to tag it, sometimes, with extracurricular adornments for which I half-heartily apologize.

You see, everything is connected, even though one visitor here thinks otherwise.

With UFOs we have to take everything into consideration, if only to get at the essence of the phenomenon (which may lead us, I think and hope, to an awareness of the real reality that encompasses us).

So, bear with me, if you will. I’ll keep extraneous materials to a minimum but I can’t help but bring in a few, seemingly irrelevant items now and then, one of which is the transcendental aspects, perhaps, inherent in the UFO phenomenon (that only visitor Martin here appreciates I think).
