Because it’s about aliens.

I hate conspiracy theories. The problem with them is that some of them end up true, so then that makes the conspiracy minded individual think that because some were true, most or all are true. Conspiracy minded individuals get lost down rabbit holes of causality, where they attribute things that could be either coincidences or deep structural systemic flaws to the bad actions of individuals or secret cabals. I also don’t like conspiracy theories because they’re so often completely uncreative, uninspired, or simply uninteresting. So they bother me. They also ride too heavily on the word “theory,” in the same annoying way that the postmodernist “critical theory” bunch do — if it’s just a theory then you don’t need to test it. Untestable theories bug the hell out of me.

But to heck with it, let’s build one. After all, there are verified spacecraft of non-terrestrial origin in US air space. That’s apparently real, and nobody seems to want to talk about that. I would think that would be a way bigger story than Covid-19 or the Portland riots or Trump. And it baffles my why it’s not, so maybe the fact that it’s not could be part of the theory. Here we go, building our conspiracy theory. Definitely don’t read this.

Givens

On July 23rd, 2020, the New York Times published an article revealing Department of Defense targeting imagery from an F-18 Super Hornet showing a real time intercept of a UFO. This is real. Commander David Fravor described a close fly by of the “Tic Tac” UFO on Joe Rogan:

Watch the first hour of that. I find it immensely credible. He explains the targeting systems, radar, and other enhanced optics suite in the F-18 Super Hornet that recorded the video. He explains the intercept circumstances, his wing man (wing lady? wing person) providing top cover. He talks about the Cruiser doing flight control tracking these objects for weeks. He verifies two flights of two aircraft each, eight total naval airmen, who witnessed it. Everyone in command and control knew about the intercept. Nobody hid it, it was common knowledge. He talks about similar experiences of US Navy on the east coast. Other stories from within the military.

My father was a radar operator in the US Air Force, with top secret clearance. He spent some time with Project Blue Book, the United States UFO tracking program. He even spent time answering the phones. He’d get lists of test flights of certain DOD research projects, and would be able to track these tests by the list of weird phone calls he’d get while operating the phone bank. Funny stories about ladies screaming of aliens descending to the earth, when in fact they were watching battlefield illumination test flights.

He also said that the sky was literally full of UFOs. At any given time in the late 60s and early 70s perhaps half the targets in northeast US airspace monitored out of the Syracuse quadrant were unidentified, and the Air Force only concerned themselves with targets coming in from international zones that might be Russian. There was simply no need to track them all, and even if there was, it was beyond our capabilities.

I find the story of Commander Fravor thoroughly believable. If we take it as a given, we know this:

There are craft which descend from an upper deck of over 80,000 ft in the air into our radar control area, straight down, hover at around 20,000 feet, screw off for a few hours, and then travel back up into space.

These craft come in different shapes, but the two most commonly cited by US Armed Forces look like 40 foot long tic tacs or cubes inside beach balls. They sometimes travel in formation.

They have no propulsion systems we can recognize. They do not operate on action-reaction Newtonian propulsion, but instead seem to be able to hover and move around at will. They can accelerate at speeds that would turn anything inside them to a bloody mush, so whatever is inside them must not be experiencing the momentum from their acceleration the way we do in our modern vehicles.

They can travel through any fluid. They are seen going down into the ocean, and coming back out.

They are not holograms, because they do have a radar signature, although they can actively jam targeting radar when they so choose.

They don’t seem hostile, but do seem intelligent.

These givens would lend us to believe that these craft are, if not alien in origin, at least commonly travel through space. They would lend us to believe that their propulsion systems work on some kind of field system, such as gravity. That’s what we get from Commander Fravor and his Tic Tacs.

Bob Lazar’s story, also featured on Rogan, is a little weirder. He spins a yarn about being a technician working at Area 51 trying to figure out how alien spacecraft work. Before we get into his claims, I find several things about his story to be suspect, and I want to lay them out in advance.

The scientific procedure he laid out does not sound like science to me, it sounds like government bureaucratic horseshit. And while I totally buy the idea that the government could come up with a really, really bad way to study these things, I do not buy that they would do so if they were in a race to discover how UFOs work with other nationalities who may also have captured UFOs. I would think that secrecy would take a backseat to beating the Russians or the Chinese to UFO propulsion technology, so hamstringing the scientific effort to figure them out would be a completely stupid thing to do, and the diametric opposite of the sort of approach the US government used when developing the nuclear bomb. Lazar tells of entering one of the flying saucers at one point in his tenure at Area 51. He said it was built for small humanoid creatures, and he could tell because there were three small sized seats in the saucer. This makes no sense to me. If there were a universe of life, and planets everywhere, and life emerged in these different planets through evolutionary, Darwinist means, I would expect that the form of that life would be vastly different everywhere, not some strange blend of bipeds like from Star Wars or Star Trek. Why would they even have chairs?

Those two things stand out not because I’m skeptical about them (because I’m skeptical of Lazar’s entire yarn) but rather because they seem like sloppy storytelling. Easy to poke holes in. Possibly indicative that his entire experience was either imagined, or perhaps part of an entire staged thing to trick him. Whatever. Let’s presume his entire story, which is available here, is also true:

The givens we can extract from this tale, to add to our prior stock, are as follows. There are more than one kind and shape of UFO. At least one of the UFOs are built to contain organic life, of the style of the “little green men” trope. The LGM UFO works based on some kind of field propulsion technology, gravity waves, or similar. The field generator is made of Element 115, (Moscovium) an element not known at the time Lazar was working on the project, but has been synthesized since by man. Unlike our attempt, the 115 in the field generator is stable. It generates a field which can cause a spacecraft to levitate, and move quickly and erratically in any direction, and humans can control this field if they learn how in a captured spacecraft.

And that’s it. No more givens. Let’s leave every other story out, every unconfirmed tale, shelf them all and include nothing else than Lazar and Commander Fravor. Let’s build up from there.

CONSPIRACY

Gravity propulsion technology works by using Stable Element 115. Where would someone find Stable 115? The most likely spot is in the debris field from a supernova.

The life cycle of stars, according to modern thinking, goes about like this. Gas and dust accumulate by gravity until it starts to concentrate, much like what we see in Jupiter or Saturn. But if it gets big enough, and its gravity collapses tightly enough, fusion begins, turning the hydrogen in the gas cloud into helium. This is what causes stars to burn. The helium presumably settles deeper in the star than the hydrogen, but it takes a lot more energy to fuse helium so it is generally thought that most of a star’s life is spent fusing hydrogen. If it runs out of hydrogen, it collapses further until the helium can fuse. Then further down the periodic table, until at some point you end up with the star trying to fuse iron, lead, and such, which is just simply tremendously hard, and the thing blows up instead. Supernova. All starstuff in the star gets flung out into a big confusing cloud called a nebula, and then it starts bumping into itself, forming planets, gas giants, and some bit in the middle coalesces and possibly forms a new star. Iterate.

If this thinking is accurate, then all the solid planets in our solar system are made of material fused in the center of the predecessor star to the Sun. The stuff that makes the earth, Mercury, Mars, Venus, and all our other sisters came from this explosion. Carl Sagan loved this theory. Told us all we were made of starstuff.

I have not heard much speculation about why the planets around the solar system are so different. Earth is really quite unique. The fact that we have liquid water is obviously super cool, and leads to life and such, but there may be more important things going on. We have a molten core of iron nickel alloy that spins, creating an electromagnetic field the likes of which doesn’t exist anywhere else in the inner solar system. We live on a giant magnet. This electromagnetic field sheds harmful rays away from the surface so we don’t all become mutant Reavers. This is useful. But it’s also indicative. Earth’s uniqueness may mean that Earth is the remnant of the central core of the last star. That’s where all our iron came from. And if that’s true, then Earth may be one of the best spots in the Lower East Parsec to find Element 115.

If you were a space faring race who had super awesome interstellar machines that could travel throughout the galaxy, but they only ran on an element so rare that it could only form in the fires of exploding suns, what would to do with your (potentially very small) fleet of flying saucers? I’ll tell you what you’d do. You’d go find more Element 115. You’d hop from system to system, looking for whichever planet came from the core of the supernova, and when you found that, you’d mine it.

And where’s the best place to mine that on Earth? Not at the top of the Himalayas. Somewhere deep. Like Mariana Trench deep. And if you had a craft that was completely immune to pressure, could travel through any fluid, and didn’t need conventional fuel, then that’s exactly where you’d go. The bottom of the ocean on the Earth, looking for 115.

Big Al the Alien Miner might throw some trash out his window at some point. Some garbled blob of DNA that might be able to self-replicate in a pool of primordial ooze. That would explain the “spontaneous” creation of DNA, which I’ve always found a bit suspect. With an infinitely complex molecular engineering lab you couldn’t come up with a cooler way to store information than DNA. It always seemed “intelligently designed” to me. Maybe it was. The seed of DNA on Earth was a Betelgeuse Bon Bon wrapper, millennia ago.

It explains the octopi. What the frick are those things anyway, and how did something that complex and weird and alien just simply show up out of the blue 100 million years ago? Different Bon Bon Wrapper out a different window. Maybe it was an interstellar pet that got loose. For that matter, it explains any number of evolutionary leaps we couldn’t reasonably hand-wave away with “but mutations!” talk. Repeat for spiders, they’re super weird.

The general idea that ancient civilizations had spooky stories that married up with alien sightings, yet aliens don’t apparently interfere in our modern culture, fits this theory. Why would they care what the local monkeys were building this year with their blocks of stone, any more than they’d care what the ants or the dolphins are doing? They’re here to mine. This idea that aliens would come to talk with us seems horribly self-centered. Why would they? We don’t try to talk to the dingos when we open up a new strip mine in the Australian outback.

This theory fits the “multiple different spaceships” account from Lazar’s Area 51. If there were one alien race coming to Earth to farm 115, it stands to reason there would be more than one. The theory fits two of Commander Fravor’s accounts, the one of his own encounter where the Tictac was interacting with a larger craft below the surface of the water, and also the account he spoke of later, of a submarine craft that swallowed up a telemetry torpedo in the Caribbean. Alien mining operation patrol craft.

That we haven’t discovered below-the-water UFOs (USOs?) is easily explainable because of how they seem to move effortlessly through fluids. Sonar is sound, and sound is a compression wave in the fluid. If these things were affected by compression waves they’d be issuing some pretty tremendous sonic booms everywhere they go. Commander Fravor would have heard one during his flyby encounter.

But if this is all true, I can’t be the first guy to figure it out. The folks actually working in Area 51 would have had these brainstorm sessions for a while, and come to the same conclusions. And they would have had to figure that the cat was going to get let out of the bag sooner or later, and that the Earthlings might get really torqued off about losing their intergalactic mineral rights. Maybe enough to go to a very ill-advised war against a bunch of higher beings who could probably Carrington Event the whole planet if they sneezed too hard. If so, then the early task would be to keep the cat in the bag, but the later task would be to let the cat out of the bag slowly, while everyone was looking at something else anyway, to contain the freakout.

And that’s the last element of the theory. “LOOK KIDS! Trump! Covid! Riots!” (dad sneaks ET in the back door)

Sorry about all this. I’m bored stuck in an airport lobby.

It’s just “theory” anyway.
