The Game I Won't Play

 It was around 130 years ago....that some mental-health doctors finally sat down and did some analysis over the problem of people having imaginary/invisible friends.  From what is written of the era, there was a trend underway (various social circles)....where a phenomenon of social business was conducted.  Meaning?  Like-minded people gathered...sipped tea, coffee or wine, and talked about their 'friend' (the one that didn't really exist).

Some people would just go simple on this route....saying the non-existent friend was a ghost or some angel.  As the decades passed....this went to a more science-fiction like creation....being aliens, robots or vampire-like creation.

I worked with a Air Force NCO who was a instructor at some AF school.  He'd been forced into the instructor status (unhappily).

Before his Air Force years....he'd spent most of two years in New York City as a ambulance 'helper'.  On slow days, he'd talk about the patients picked up (most all had psychological issues).

One day in the Air Force class...he had deal with a 19-year old female airman.  Having failed a test, he was supposed to counsel her (basically to tell her to clean up her act) and review her notes.  The notes were not that readable and had a lot of symbiology drawn out.  Her response was that she could read them, and her friend 'Jessica'.  Ok...he thought, and the counseling ended.

Later in the room....he noted that she sat in the far corner of the class....with a empty table next to her.  He gazed at the class listing of students.....no 'Jessica'.  Just on a hunch....he walked over and asked where 'Jessica' was  and she pointed at the empty table.  That was enough to set my associate off....running to the commander.

The base clinic took her in....spent two or three weeks making sure she wasn't dangerous, and then gave her papers for exiting the Air Force.  They weren't going to keep her.  

If she hadn't failed the test?  Oh, I would imagine she would have gone onto 20 years of service....spending the whole 20 with 'Jessica' and be nearing 60 years old presently with her imaginary friend.

I'm not anti-imaginary friend....but I'm probably not pro-invisible friend.  It's like some gal walking around and imagining that she has a horse tail, or has a body covered in non-existent tattoos, or that she has a imaginary 'male-'tool'.  

When you suggest I need to cooperate with your friend's situation and just accept the invisible robot-friend or imaginary cowboy 'Lex'....I'd rather not play the game.  

My Humble View of the UAP/UFO Discussion

 Back in mid-December 2023....the UAP Disclosure Act came to a point where all the big things to happen....were watered down.  It's not a failure as it passed, but it obviously worried some key House committee (GOP) members.  

So to lay out the discussion and where things are obviously 'stuck'.....imagine that you had some crashed UFO in the 1940s, and decided as a gov't official.....the key thing to do is reverse-engineer the craft.  You don't have the best or brightest....so you go and hire some aerospace company (or two) to do the work.

These companies mostly go and hire engineers....not physicists.  And they keep the number of people on the inside of this....as small as possible. 

Decade goes by....you get paid for reverse-engineering, but to be honest, there's just not much that you achieved.

1960s go by....same story.

Early 70s....you go and convince the powers to be that maybe you should control the crashed UFOs yourself....not the Pentagon.  Then you suggest that all technology to be gained....ought to belong to you....because of your effort.  All of this....while still getting a couple billion dollars a year to pay for....get this....almost no success on reverse engineering.

So the 1980s pass....1990s pass, and here we are in 2024....with a couple of crashed UFOs and nothing much achieved in reverse-engineering.

What you wouldn't want to admit in public....being a Fortune-500 company....is that you consumed 100-odd-billion dollars over fifty years and have nothing much to show for all that money.

So keeping this a secret.....that you took a ton of money and did nothing to show for it....is really the sad part of the story, which you need to keep secret.

Another 50 years of zero reverse-engineering....with half-a-trillion dollars spent?  Yeah, that's the angle of this whole 'game' now.
