We're a reality show, and that's the cameras.


Merky600

That was premise of a short sci-fi story I read. After WWII aliens discovered Earth via A bombs. The global conflict was over but was of enormous interest in the Galactic Federation TV network. With the Cold War brewing, one alien Don Drapper bets his career on WWIII and gets them to install cameras all over the planet. It never happens, he’s fired, and the story is him telling all this while drunk in a human bar.

whitewail602

Considering this would be outside of space and time, it means *everyone could be watching, including you...


keepinitSecretsafe

To be fair, that would be pretty catastrophic if disclosed. Also: The illuminati are show runners trying to keep earth from getting canceled. Earth's run was supposed to end in 2012, but its too popular so they kept writing new things. The death of harambee arc was tragic.

Significant-Tax7396

I totally agree. Or at least, I think it's a strong possibility. Of course, it probably isn't as simple as a TV show. There is all kinds of juicy data they could be sponging up. A post scarcity society would have nothing else to collect after they've already mastered the means to produce whatever they might want freely and endlessly for all their peoples. What's the only thing left to do?...

xeontechmaster

Well, They call them the watchers. (NASA, CIA etc) So if thems the cameras, and we're the Truman Show it all makes sense. lol But in all honesty, peoples experiences seem to be much more than that. In Fukushima after the Nuclear plant failure, they surrounded the area and seemed to remove a lot of the radiation fallout. Some people see beings within the orbs, or have encounters on the orbs and are usually followed with feelings of comfort and calmness. Chris Bledsoe has had alot of experience with them if you look into his experience. I think they are probably the same thing people have been seeing for thousands of years, some call them spirits and angels, some call them demons and devils, they are probably the same thing. It's one of the reasons so many that get 'in the know' turn all spiritual about it. Interdimentional beings that have technology most of us would consider woo and magic because it is so far beyond us we can't explain it sounds about right.

Reasonable_Leather58

That is definatly my thing. The friggin orbs. seen em my whole life. There were a couple things they reminded me of ,,,and they are all not white. blue green. They used to hang out on the river bed in front of my house, Saw one zip by my bedroom window. and now as an adult three came straight up my drive way, followed the driveway path than went up over an apartment accross the street and were gone, My husband saw the same ones by the presque Isle river. I thought of google cars....and kids cutting through after school. It was amazing to see but I also couldnt recall the colors for years. I got the disdint impression they dont care about humans., Not malevolent. But they are working. I live close to a decommissioned nuclear base. (sure it is,,,,,) there were silos we think we know where they still are and thats why they are stil in my vicinity. They are drones, basically.


_Exotic_Booger

Iwantmy3rdpartyapp

I think they're some form of surveillance or data gathering.


mindlesscollective

I wouldn’t be surprised by this. [The one I saw](https://www.reddit.com/r/Experiencers/s/K7gaIOAita) behaved as such. It was just cruising along a river bank until it noticed me and a friend, then veered off course and slowly began approaching us.


jabes101

If you shared same experience as your neighbor, why not share it?


mindlesscollective

I moved away shortly after my experience (this was my senior year of high school) and did not reconnect with my neighbor until I came back to visit my parent’s home the following summer. I had reached out to him and let him know that I would be home for a few months and that we should hang out at some point to catch up. The day he showed up was the day we had planned on hanging out, except he showed up a few hours early, completely freaked out.


Ermac__247

Yours sounds crazy similar to the one I saw. Mine was the size of a basketball as well, but I got to see it up close from about 5 feet away. It's been a long while, I remember the one I saw having a blueish aura, but a bright white core. How cool would it be if we saw the same type of orb? I usually see people talking about the orange ones.


mindlesscollective

Thank you for sharing! I love hearing the experience others have had with these orbs up close, as opposed to far off in the night sky. Seeing is believing and when you see one up close like that, it sticks with you forever. I went from a total skeptic to a believer that there’s definitely something more going on but I have no idea what it is.. I wouldn’t be surprised if what you and I saw were type. I feel like the orange ones are the most common, but I’ve also come across plenty of other people’s first hand accounts of bright white/blue orbs. If I’m not mistaken, Chris Bledsoe claims to have seen them morph into different colors. So they very well might all be the same thing.


Comfortable-Spite756

I used to think they were NHI tiny drones, but now I think glowing orbs are consciousness in its pure form without the meat suit.


JohnnyRotten024

RVA804guys

I think this is probably closer to the real explanation, if it can be explained, as most phenomena are explained with the data we can collect, as long as the data is consistent each time we collect it, and the collection method is consistent. What if the nature of reality was inconsistent? How should we measure a light observed in the sky when no physical device is observed? We must redefine what a definition is.

Yeah, pure energy.

Haha. All shadows of the real thing


KetamineSNORTER1

They aren't shadows of the real thing because they are fictional. You don't even know what the real thing is, nobody does.


magpiemagic

Your reply is not even remotely accurate. There are thousands of people who know what the real thing is.


KetamineSNORTER1

Prove it because everytime someone claims to "know the truth" on this sub, someone else also claims truth but the two truths are way different but please tell me why I'm not accurate and prove your claim.


magpiemagic

I'm not claiming to be one among the thousands. What I'm saying is that the field of ufology has thousands upon thousands of credible eyewitnesses, many of the cases involving multiple corroborated credible eyewitnesses, firsthand experiencers, abductees, military encounterees, astronauts, and on and on. And that's just that field. Then you have all of the cases of encounters with humanoid extraterrestrial beings stretching back to antiquity across all major civilizations and cultures, without exception. To say that there's absolutely nothing there, would be the height of arrogance and willful blindness. So it's important to consider the mountain of evidence that already exists and has been painstakingly compiled for you to look through and learn from. No one else can do that job for you. It is up to you. The evidence is available to you if you're willing to look at it.


KetamineSNORTER1

I think we or I may have miscommunicated because I'm in the same boat as you in the regards of this phenomenon.


magpiemagic

Ah, roger that. Understandable. So much gets lost in this text format. It takes so much back and forth to even get a small amount of understanding and clarity between two people in a discussion. A verbal conversation is orders of magnitude more efficient and effective. And a face-to-face verbal conversation is nearly unquantifiably more efficient and effective.


magpiemagic

Also, that person was trying to mock my comment, so I was simply saying that those fictional aliens are simply a shadow of the reality of actual extraterrestrial beings. I wasn't saying that they are a shadow of the real thing in the sense that the people writing those characters were thinking about real things.


KetamineSNORTER1

I think mean and you might be the only ones who use "extraterrestrials" now. But let's be fr your comment is out there 


magpiemagic

You, me, and Steven Spielberg. And yes, my comment (to the normies) is "out there"


Fine_Donkey_6674

Can you cite your claim about NASA knowing of the white orbs?


Internal-presence11

I think he's referencing Chris bledsoe and how they acknowledged and studied him. That's a guess though. It's the only connection i can think of.


MonkeeSage

NASA did not acknowledge or study Chris Bledsoe as far as I know. Apparently a guy who allegedly used to work for NASA named Tim Taylor did. Happy to be corrected by references from NASA about it though.


Prudent-Internet-483

This is not it. Orbs come in all colors. I am not an expert in the field but metallic orbs are not the same orbs this entire post is about. Perhaps said metallic orbs can change colors but the orbs Chris Bledsoe shows in a video on that same podcast are pink and the one that passed by me was fluorescent lime green. On that same podcast he shows a video of a white orb and then a being coming out or the orb transforming into a being, see for yourself. I am not saying you are in the wrong or anything but since you mentioned this podcast (which has compelling evidence of these orbs) I thought of throwing more info out there about it and what the orbs could be.


Internal-presence11

Do they come in all colors? That's a genuine question. I'd love to see them if you have a link or to hear any stories you have if you've personally seen them. I almost exclusively see white orbs in the sky that basically look like stars but they also interact on a individual basis. I have seen a triangle craft before that flashed lights at me but the orbs have always been white. Now there was a single night about a year ago where I saw a single metallic sphere fly over me. That was odd to say the least. But that wasn't a "orb." It was a metal sphere that went through the air. I have only seen it that one time.


Prudent-Internet-483

Well, me saying they come in all colors is incorrect or correct, who knows. I was just saying that to make the point of the orbs having different colors. The ones I have seen both in person and videos and also from comments of others have been either white, orange, pink and fluorescent lime green (which is my favorite color and wad the one I saw move from left to right in front of me and then disappearing). If you have 3 hours of your time you can check the podcast the other person was talking about. If not, you can go to it and fast forward to around the last 30 to 40 mins where he shows a video of a pink orb going in and out of water making no splash and doing its thing.


Internal-presence11

Do you have a link to the podcast? Bledsoe is pretty famous and many things come up when you Google him. Not being lazy lol but like he has multiple, multi hour interviews...


Prudent-Internet-483

Today I saw a post here on reddit on one of these types of subreddits that was basically focusing on this podcast lol. Funny to me that I would see it being mentioned across subreddits the same day but here it is. [Chris Bledsoe on Danny Jones Podcast.](https://youtu.be/XmVQFX2Pp60?si=3rTvJ4FSArhZ-0l7)


TheZeitgeistKid

I have read Chris Bledsoe's book and watched this interview a day ago. I was drawn in by the ways that Chris describes his various interactions with different aspects of the phenomena. In particular, even during his first encounter he describe a great deal of fear that later seems to vanish at least for him. Later on, after the interactions begin to disrupt his family's relationship with their community, he rejects the encounters only to be drawn back again, even more deeply than before. The whole process seemed to be a very challenging set of experiences for Chris on many levels that forces a type of rapid spiritual evolution. Throughout the course of my own life, I have had a number of experiences that have opened my awareness to a certain degree, not by any means as intensely as Chris's experiences, but watching his interview made me consider where my experiences may eventually lead. Just the description he gives at one point about an exponential expansion of his empathetic capacity was kind of terrifying to think about. To see all of our past thoughts and actions in a much more connected context, I don't know, while we are hiding in our little private egos, then suddenly being stripped of all that privacy, judging all our past thoughts and actions without the fig leaf of our egos, part of me is terrified of that depth of communion with another consciousness and part of me desperately wishes for that experience. It is easy to understand why a military mindset would find encounters with these types of unknowable phenomena, not so much the material craft but the advanced telepathic intelligence, to be utterly terrifying. We tend to work hard to hide our weaknesses from others. What happens when there is no place to hide? I think it is likely that what is most disturbing for us in relationship to accepting the phenomena as real is a recognition of where we might be going, as individuals and as a unified humanity as revealed to us by our contacts with the phenomena. As we seem always prone to do, we project onto the encounters with the unknown our own hopes and fears while in truth, the evolution of our own consciousness is mostly on us.


Prudent-Internet-483

Yep, I agree with you. It really could go both ways. Good or bad.


languidnbittersweet

I saw them in bright fluorescent green.


forestnymph1--1--1

What podcast is that ?


Prudent-Internet-483

Check above you!


languidnbittersweet

The one experience involved a trio of the fluorescent lime ones. I was 19. I'm more than twice that age now, and not a day goes by I don't think of them.


Prudent-Internet-483

Oh, wow. And here I thought the color of the one I saw was exclusively for me because it's my favorite color haha. The more you know! Thanks for sharing. I have also seen the white orbs but in formation near a plane. Imo the white ones are the most common.


howmanyturtlesdeep

It was the briefing from May 2023. Metallic orbs, they said, I guess no indication of color. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/06/5-big-ufo-revelations-from-nasa.html


Zeus541

It literally says at the bottom of the article that nasa has no conclusive evidence proving alien activity. This is a journalist writing about a DoD official during a nasa briefing, not information coming out of nasa.


nonirational

They asked for a source that could be cited that shows nasa Knows of the orbs. They didn’t ask for a source confirming that nasa admitted that Aliens were real and visiting earth. You are trying to discredit the source provided because it doesn’t contain the ultimate disclosure that everyone has been wanting for decades for the government to provide. You don’t have to have undeniable and unquestionable evidence of the existence of aliens to admit that you know people have seen white glowing orbs…..


Roadscrape

Several older astronauts from the Apollo era have stated in print, as well as a alt non-public radio channel recording of talk between mission control and astronauts on the Moon that they were being openly watched by UAP. NASA covers up everything as does the air force. NASA ≠ Never A Straight Answer. If you think the Feds are going to openly admit anything concerning UAP then You've already played into their disinformation program.


nonirational

Ok.


Haunting-Broccoli713

Funny how the acknowledgment of the orbs is basically an acknowledgment of higher intelligence. But we are humans. Who can’t seem to drive our square boxes around. Without running into one another. So I guess some really do need it spelled out word for word.


jahchatelier

Did you watch the NASA briefing? They literally said over and over again that these orbs are everywhere, they are anomalous, and they could not attribute a prosaic explanation for them. No one is denoting origin of these, but the conclusion is that they're not attributable to any known human technology.


LadyThron

Here, for example: [Mysterious Metallic Orbs Flying ‘All Over the World,'](https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7ezaz/mysterious-metallic-orbs-flying-all-over-the-world-pentagon-says-at-nasa-ufo-panel) Pentagon Says at NASA UFO Panel Key takeaways from the first public meeting of NASA’s Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena independent study team.


LivingOffNostaglia

I was at CDL school and I was outside and I had seen something about a C5 thing where you can ask for aliens or UFOs to show themselves so I did this and I felt kind of crazy doing it but after about 10 minutes of trying while I was waiting for my turn to Drive the semi truck in the parking lot, I see a single white orb, just floating way up in the sky and I lock eyes with it and I don’t look away even for a second and then all of a sudden it dematerialized in front of me but it wasn’t like instantaneous. it almost like faded into invisibility if that makes sense in the span of about a second or two. So obviously obviously peaked my interest because we have seen these orbs before so I got super excited and I kept trying and it came back once or twice more and then did the same thing the dematerialized. Personally believe that it was real, but why they would show themselves to me. I have no idea. I’m not that special. This was back in 2018 by the way, I usually don’t tell anyone this because I sound like a kook..


howmanyturtlesdeep

Cool, thanks for sharing.


ALF_My_Alien_Friend

Just smaller ufos but unmanned. Glow is the reaction with surrounding material, likely ionizing. So when they power down theyre a ball. Different story is the orbs that go through walls. They are likely same mechanical orbs as flying ones but can go through things,  so they have a "field disruptor" in them, but cant likely go through high radiation fields or electric fields (using star trek logic here).


_Exotic_Booger

Well supposedly there’s a UFO that’s the size of a small house, but once you enter inside the UAP, it’s the size of a football field. Maybe they are manned but the small 10 foot UFO’s are actually 100 feet inside.


PNWBPcker

Hay_Fever_at_3_AM

> They’ve been publicly acknowledged by NASA to be real This just did not happen, not in the way you're implying (that NASA has acknowledged that "orbs" are *a distinct category of thing* that can be separated in observation from other things)


howmanyturtlesdeep

It was the briefing from May 2023. Metallic orbs, they said, I guess no indication of color. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/06/5-big-ufo-revelations-from-nasa.html


MonkeeSage

The article quotes *Sean Kirkpatrick*, who was at the time the director of AARO, speaking at [the NASA panel on UAP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQo08JRY0iM). Like GP said, Kickpatrick is characterizing the *types of reports* AARO receives. The same slide Kirkpatrick presented there is available on the AARO website: https://www.aaro.mil/UAP-Cases/UAP-Reporting-Trends/


Choice_Comfort6239

Where in the briefing? I’m not seeing evidence of your claim there


ipbo2

Well, considering they've been seen coming out of and into other UAP, I lean towards drone scouts collecting all kinds of data about the planet and everything on and in it. Or, if they're big enough to fit one being, maybe "manned" scout craft. Do you think the white orbs are the same as the silvery and the golden ones? Are these only seen during the day? And are they the same as the glowing ones seen at night? I haven't seen any myself but many videos hehe And if these turn out to be human made I'm gonna be pissed 😂 


howmanyturtlesdeep

No clue about the colors… if they are plasma beings maybe the colors represent different vibrations, which could reflect their intentions or emotions?


JohnnyRotten024

What are plasma beings?


howmanyturtlesdeep

I don’t know, but there’s a lot of talk about them in the comments on this thread.


Qbit_Enjoyer

>"They're not ours." That's all we'll be hearing until an alien ambassador parks in orbit, in my opinion.  Also, I've seen a couple of the smaller, fast moving orbs, in addition to large spherical objects that glowed yellow-white at night and (assuming I saw the same objects a couple of weeks later) a shiny golden exterior in daytime light. I have all kinds of theories about the small, "zippy" orbs. The most prominent one is that they're scouts or scanners of some kind and essentially harmless ways for an NHI to observe us anonymously. It would be pretty harrowing to find out human technology is behind all of this amazing tech. It'd be another amazing invention used to peep on people when they're trying to pee...I'd probably take up professional drinking if it's just been human beings this whole time.  With that said, probes or scouts represent a new issue: who is piloting them and why? I lean towards Alien Archivists checking up on the individuals inside a population, as there is no evidence for psionic powers or subspace gateways causing Visitors to appear. I mention the strange stuff, because some people and 'bloodlines' seem to attract UFOs but there's no definitive link as to why. There are also cases like Dr. Greer, who seems to be a UFO magnet and claims this is due to mental exercise and experience (in a nutshell).  Simply put, nobody can really know what the orbs and rods and flashbulbs are intent on, but we can at least see and report them. If enough quantities of data are accumulated on it, patterns can be deduced. I like to think simple, but it could be that 'orbs' are some exotic cosmic event and we are lucky to see it and silly for personifying it.


HumansAreET

The Kybalion talks about how there are levels to nature, planes of existence, many of which we can’t see, and there are highly evolved beings there that are akin to gods compared to us. That They’ve always existed and interacted with us and if you go back far enough they were once as we are.


Difficult-Plastic-97

I have no faith in this bloodlines thing. I have seen absolutely no evidence for this. I'm a believer, but if it's someone that can see them when others can't, it's either delusion or something else. I genuinely asked myself if this is just me coping because I haven't seen anything, but no. There's just no evidence, and the idea is honestly, absurd


Qbit_Enjoyer

I only mention bloodlines because it pops up frequently... I, my father and his grandfather have seen UFOs; that kind of stuff. Also, families and relatives being 'sampled' for genetics makes sense from a scientific perspective: find a singing chimp in the forest and you may want to study their brothers and sisters to see what's going on with that tempo, for science. It's a huge blow to the ego to consider that we are a population that could be unwittingly observed by an advanced civilization billions of years ahead of us, but it's totally possible at this point. Lots of room to speculate on the "Why" but the fact is that people who encounter aliens tend to mention things about breeding programs and genetics too often to ignore it. I have never seen aliens, just advanced objects in the sky, so I'm still on the fence as to what the Visitors represent. If it's flesh-and-blood aliens, I'd say we are being quietly invaded. If it's something like a Bracewell Probe Network, we can all relax and try not to poison the planet and if it's rogue human elements we will put that tech to better use than spooking civilians.  tl;dr: genetics plays a role of interest for visiting alien scientists; if alien scientists are visiting. 


Mysterious_Pin_7405

The whole "experiencer" thing is just a way for people to feel special psychologically, whether their experiences are genuine or not. It's the exact same principle in religion that people here deride so much. UFOlogy itself is a religion now, people just don't agree on all the doctrines.


Qbit_Enjoyer

I thought it was all about the mystery of being alone in this galaxy and whether or not anyone out there is friendly and can benefit us... Uh... Is that a doctrine? Or is that an evolutionary trait unique to Earth? I think its fine for people to be curious and speculate in absence of evidence.  Religion and dogma comes from some entity that claims to have the answer....seems more like the debunker crowd these days, imo


Mysterious_Pin_7405

Is religion not about being alone in the world and needing a wiser more powerful being to help you? Sounds like what people say about aliens. It's why the demon/angel theories have gained so much traction.


forestnymph1--1--1

But what about those of us that feel a kinship, familiarity of sorts with them such as a soul family but cannot explain it further than that


Comfortable-Spite756

Many people only start seeing them after learning remote viewing.


Capital-Water2505

It always baffled me how people seem to come to the conclusion that aliens are here to help us or protect us. Dude, they don't give a fuck about us. We're ants, although I do agree that if they are here that they are observing...but its not to help. If we kill ourselves with nukes, they're just going to watch, research, and document. Simple as that. Like we have killed millions and millions of people through war and these beings haven't done a single thing, why would they all of the sudden care because it's a nuke? If anything, I see them watching us fire nukes and their eyes getting big stuffing their face full of alien popcorn and going "bruh this is gonna be wild" like we watch UFC or something.


HumansAreET

If the Drake equation is even remotely accurate there’s like a million civilizations in our galaxy alone. We are probably being studied and watched by all kinds of intelligences hell this whole planet might even be some kind of laboratory.


forestnymph1--1--1

But at the end of the day that's still just your theory and others may have a different intuition. Doesn't make theirs or yours more wrong or right, not until the truth starts to piece together


Comfortable-Spite756

Greys literally told people they're our "[zookeepers](https://www.reddit.com/r/aliens/comments/18faa4w/aliens_landed_at_chernobyl_after_nuclear_disaster/)".


_Zyxx

I saw one! Last year when I was coming back to work from lunch, I looked up and saw a white tic tac UFO just silently gliding through the air. I pulled out my phone and recorded it. The sun was blasting in my eyes and on my phone screen so I didn't think I got it, but to my surprise I looked at the video and it is visible. It's pretty shaky though, anyone able to stabilize footage?


LordBrixton

I don’t think we can yet rule out the possibility that they are the result of some as-yet unknown natural phenomenon, in the vein of ball lightning. The so-called Foo Fighters of WW2 only appeared once we started staging massive raid, with thousands of hunks of metal flying in close formation l.


HumansAreET

Terrence McKennas theory on ufos is pretty wild. He said it’s all a kind of illusion created by the Gaian mind to keep us in a state of thinking about science, to keep us thinking and how it would be possible to recreate what we’re seeing, and ways to make these things ourselves, mentally directing us to create similar tech so we can fly the coup. Like birds teaching their young to fly, the earth is showing us what to do. I had never heard that theory until recently I thought it stood out from the more usual ones.


The_Krystal_Knight

Are they the sentient plasmoids that Ross Coulhart talked about in his Oped?

I've seen them. I talk about them a bit here [www.ayadreams.com](http://www.ayadreams.com) I think we're in error by thinking that it's some advanced tech from another planet. IMO It has something to do with the intelligence of this planet, the 'Gaian mind', if you will. See Admiral McRaven's account of 9 orbs in the modern day for 9 deceased victims of a military plane crash in the second world war.

Is there some sort of online database with videos / metadata (date / time / location etc) of these orbs?

You are thinking way too positive.


howmanyturtlesdeep

Guilty as charged.


Mobile_Moment3861

Maybe they are something we reverse-engineered.


readoldbooks

I think this is the case for some. The Mosul orb video is what Sean Kirkpatrick shared from AARO. Anything he shares has got to be something man made. Even if they say “they don’t know what it is”. No way SK/AARO would say that if they thought it was NHI.

howmanyturtlesdeep

Wow, thanks, that’s very helpful.


Enough-Bike-4718

I believe your hypothesis is probably pretty close. If you look at the Nuremberg painting of the UFO’s in the sky, I believe they have been activated before in the 16th century.


No-Development6966

Perhaps the “hammers” that 4chan guy was talking about? 🤔

They seem to be the things creating crop circles.

I think Patrick Jackson put this out there as his theory with back up data. Check out his YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@quantumparanormala21stcent79?si=Cre8tRibLohwbCA_

Nice. Will do.


Significant-Song-840

What if its souls or spirits or even like a highly spiritual persons soul.... I mean, think about it. There were a lot of Foo fighter sightings during the world war 2 ... what happens in war, like the most... death.... I'm just saying we are dealing with a ton of death and war now.... It just sorta makes sense that the white orbs that are seen all the time during ww2, when the thing that was most common was dying, are souls. Or spirits or whatever.


howmanyturtlesdeep

Could be.


Significant-Song-840

Especially when considering the link of consciousness to ufos that keeps being constantly seeded throughout the podcast platforms. To me, it would make sense that consciousness as we know it, is a half asleep half awake version of our soul. That's why they can't find where consciousness is located in the brain. The soul being of the metaphysical, powers the physical body. And when is a wake in the body sees through the filter or limits of the physical eyes, that's why when you meditate, and do breathing exercises, you have weird unexplainable spiritual experiences, because you turn inward. Instead of being in an indoctrinated state of "asleep" when the eyes are closed, you practice being awake with them closed, stilling the body, so the brain thinks it's alseep, I think if you can figure out how to oxygenate and calm the body in such away it thinks its "shutting down", "off", in complete rest, or in away that "simulates death" of the body. You can then figure out how to "pop" out of the body. Speculation, of course. Based on my many different researches of the esoteric/occult and ancient cultural religious beliefs that are more mystical and / or shamanic in nature


Comprehensive-Ebb835

I think all theories above mine are based in a larger conversation that is asking more about the nature of the phenomena we casually refer to as “Aliens / UFO / UAP / OVN etc” i think we all have a concept of an alien object in our minds eye as “shining orb” in 2024 - which has pre historical president (Incarnations of Mary, Fairies, Hopi traditions etc) but there is also this huge body of evidence about other shapes and meta materials. (Saucers, Football sized RED cubes, Phoenix Lights, Cigars, etc) I think we are hindered by the “knowledge threshold” wherein lies every piece of data that we cannot perceive or take a measurement of. The things we are thinking about, reading about, hearing about second hand, and or in person experiencing seem to have a multidimensional nature. To say that a UFO is metal, a UAP is energy, and an Alien is a meat robot is seemingly the same thing in a weird “Alien trinity”. I don’t know if this is provable with our current technology. What we don’t seem to know is it all one flavor or is it a “brand style” (NIKE, ADDIDAS, BIRKENSTOCK - ALL SHOES) Somewhat organized lines of technology or physical morphology? There is also this seemingly hard stop between us and real answers. Even all of the “disclosures” are non statements and vague descriptions of phenomena that are seemingly “real”. I don’t think the military of any nation knows the core truth of what “they” are. I would trend towards the idea that there are multiple forms of UAP some are a mix of physical metal tech and the bending of space time into a visible light spectrum object or seemingly three dimensional spheres in person. I also believe that these objects could simultaneously be drone/artificial/machine and sentient beings with agency and or controlled at a distance by an operator. I think that what we are observing is using a form of science that is pervasive throughout the cosmos and we could expect to see the same phenomena on Mars and on any other distant planet. I don’t think they observe the limits of the speed of light and could be from a far off galaxy and also one of at least 11 parallel dimensions. I think the galactic federation is a human concept of a much bigger cosmic ecosystem, and not the final governing body. I feel like it’s overused at this point but do you think ants have any understanding of the difference between a Government Capitol Building, a Car, and a Human? Let alone why humans have developed an arm of government to regulate Cars for humans to drive? I don’t think we have any idea why the “flying orbs” move in strange patterns and loops. To an ant, I feel like we are little more than weird objects flying around their space that sometimes trap ants in sugar traps and burn them with magnified light for no reason. The truth about UAP is beyond our comprehension currently, we need more hard verified data. I love reading everyone’s take on it though thank you for asking the question.


CrucialBruh

With my siting the object was starcloaked after noticing it at night the object turned into a perfect blue orb. The object atleast traveled around 500knots towards our vehicle while driving down the highway by the Grand Canyon and as it sped up it had a white glow grow on the bottom. It was like crescent shaped but the glow never once escaped the orb structure kinda like a led ball. It was the size of a sedan and only was 150-100 meters away. It was a min of 100 feet up or even less when it did a JHook upwards. Ask me anything you like.


howmanyturtlesdeep

When you saw it did you experience fear, shock, awe, confusion, excitement, disbelief, frisson, anxiety?


CrucialBruh

I tried to grab my phone, it was connected to CarPlay but the camera for no reason at all was locked up like if I didn’t just unlock my phone quite literally a minute or so before the siting. The moment I couldn’t open the app and was already driving about 80mph, I just felt a extreme sense of “just enjoy the moment and record all you see in your head” not exactly the same I bet as it’s been a year or so but essentially the wording I’m looking for. It felt like an extreme presentation and me and the passengers were the only one that notice, my ex wife looking out the other window and not believing a single second of it to bother looking ahead. I was featured on a podcast as I have told this story before, Mufon investigation and all.


CrucialBruh

I was also a Calvary Scout in the military, telling distance, time and all with terrain detail was apart of my MOS. I found the exact pinpoint of point of entry, calculated it roughly since I haven’t been to the site area since, and that’s how we figured the speed with my investigator. We also experienced roughly 15-25mins of lost time. As it never added up with the only 5min drive away from the gas station.


howmanyturtlesdeep

Thanks for sharing. It makes me wonder if this is how the phenomenon wants to disclose, as in slowly on an individual basis to ease into the collective unconscious.


CrucialBruh

Well I can tell you one thing. Close encounter experiencers have something in common. Hitchhiker effect. This phenomenon messed with my household and my ex had severe nightmares to the point we grew to have extreme distrust. We had to separate but it’s almost like others have mentioned prior, it’s as if the phenomenon knows the future as it seem to show JHook movements and other things it performed I never once heard of as I wasn’t too keen on the subject prior. Almost as if I had to prove myself this really happen and the more I did the more distrust and lost I endured. After everything I have now become the happiest version of myself, several events almost like butterfly effect happen because of this single siting. My friend group never stronger, my job and career more successful. I believe more then a shadow of doubt they show themselves to people as to form a butterfly effect for a future decision to be made, kinda like the movie The Arrival.


howmanyturtlesdeep

Very interesting. Thanks again for sharing.


Plankton-Junior

People have said that the orbs are a global defense network.


rampart11

Pretty sure they are Bud Light party balls sent from the 1990s to liven things up a bit


britishink

Those are 4th dimensional craft seen in our 3D reality. The interior could be infinite 3D space and only 15 feet in diameter to us. Check out Space RU on YouTube for some mind blowing footage from Russia...

That’s mind boggling, thank you.

Advanced drones for data collection. More or less.


Feebleminded10

Highly advanced surveillance drones.


magpiemagic

What are the white orbs? For me the answer is simple: They appear to us as at a distance as white orbs. But if you get close they are individual beings.


howmanyturtlesdeep

That would be pretty cool.


magpiemagic

I should be clear though that I do not believe that one single orb is ever a human being in spirit form. In other words, I do not believe in human being ghosts or spirit entities interacting with humans on earth today. I believe that 100% of the beings that appear to us at a distance as orbs are either God-aligned heavenly beings/angelic beings/Sons of God/The Elder Race/Stars of Heaven, or, anti-God fallen angelic beings and the disembodied spirits of their human-angelic being offspring called Nephilim, otherwise known as demons. There is spiritual warfare between these two factions, with real physical consequences going on around us at all times, in my opinion.


howmanyturtlesdeep

Could be.


Ok_Elderberry_6727

4 d ships in a 3d world, or at least part of them, or scouts, or probes.


Infinite_Bottle_3912

There are a lot of good points raised here. They can take over easily, why wait? Another theory that might explain the evidence is they are peaceful and want to help. Humanity is heading towards nuclear war and they will help save who they can and return them to earth to start over. Maybe they can see some futures and that's the most likely. Maybe if the galactic federation is real that's what it will take to accept humanity. A hard life lesson of nuclear war to get us to swear off violence. Most people will die but the ones that live will surely learn a lesson Either that or it's a trick and once you get on ship you really experience hell. I don't think they are cruel though because they seem to return abductees they have no use for. Why not keep them and torture them if that's what they wanted?


StrongBoyTwoFive

my question is where were they when hiroshima was bombed


Sorry_Nectarine_6627

NASA has commented on it? Is there a link for this


MonkeeSage

Sean Kirkpatrick/AARO, at the NASA UAP panel in 2023, described orbs as a common type of UAP in the reports they receive, that is all. This is the slide he showed: https://www.aaro.mil/UAP-Cases/UAP-Reporting-Trends/

No_Introduction1888

Allegedly the are the lowest point of entities in a higher dimension bleeding-into our dimension/reality, and all we perceive is this small white orb.


RosserForGeorgia

They document


Seekertwentyfifty

Well, not just white. Lots of colors. Key players in the government seem to believe they’re highly advanced beings which have evolved beyond the need for a physical body. The seem to have different motivations, personalities and behaviors.


FoosFights

Thr orb I saw was red, looked fairly mechanical, and definitely had some type of lens thing on it. It did t zoom around, just appeared to be observing. 


Saltydecimator

Do the orbs do evil or bad things? I wonder if they’re not angels. Now the demons/evil spirits are probably invisible otherwise they would cause great fear/alarm. And then the game would be up. 🤷‍♂️


timebomb011

They are the metallic sphere network protecting earth. But not for humans…


Negative-Ebb-6400

spirits.


Wheredoesthisonego

Idk, I do know a book from 200 BC that depicts just such a being and describes it as being able to shift from orb to humanoid instaneously.


HumansAreET

I think of them like Sophons from three body problem but much bigger and they aren’t sinister, but curious; they’re like exploration and research Sophons.


KatSchitt

Are these orbs ever associated with beeping?


Dolust

That's all you got because that's what you've seen on TV and the movies and that's your image of what people would do. But they are not people, they don't think or operate in human terms and they definitely do not need any sort of galactic federation that humans can belong to. They can touch anyone, anywhere, anytime, any way they need.. They are not bound by our frame of reality. Can you see what that means? Let me tell you something : Whatever orbs if they don't have any specific meaningful feeling for you then they are not for you and therefore they don't matter. People used to send letters charged with feelings and intentions but that won't matter unless that letter is destined to you.


helbur

I like the Arcturian hypothesis


Own-Needleworker6705

You’re right on the money. As a spiritual entity once said. Humans only recognize the earth and the nature within as an ecosystem not realizing that everything is nature and connected in a much larger ecosystem.


velezaraptor

We should capture one to see what they can do. But we need to do this with a non-manned drone. We're going to need the footage; FOIA for the win!


Hefty_Ad2412

I saw an orb walking in the woods when I was a teen. Scared the shit out of me. I’ll tell story if interested.

dotdotdotindeed

I think they're the reason we haven't been smithereened by cosmic radiation, or asteroids, and do some gravitoelectromagnetic wizardry to keep our atmosphere in tact and the earth's core spinning all while balancing the moon's orbit with a kitestring woven from electrons.


Reasonable_Leather58

your so right you are on fire.


howmanyturtlesdeep

Thank you


Reasonable_Leather58

I never thought they were a big deal till I saw three up close ....very close..I saw them growing up constantly.Ever see War Games with Matthew Broderick? Limestone was first on the list to be nuked, well it was so also in real life. We were the east coast nuclear base and had huge air force they shut it down in the 90's . I beleive we'd still be first . They had silo's it' was beleived and you cant move a giant wired up nuke, no way., So that's why we still see them in north maine.


DkFirebirdCrisis

Because some orbs are dust, some are bugs, some are birds...and some are orbs


Mr_AirShip

I don’t think light orbs are nuts and bolts vehicles. I think they are dimensional of some sort, operated by consciousness or spirit. Possibly a technology, but beyond our comprehension. We may only be able to see a portion of it due to our spectrum. I also believe they are the source of “angels” referenced in various religions. Metallic looking orbs have been documented as well, not sure what to make of those. Possibly ours. Check out Chris Bledsoe (if you’ve never heard his story). He has continued contacts with light orbs and is being studied by various interests (NASA, CIA, other scientific groups). He has hundreds of hours of footage and posts them on his Instagram page for all to see. He can summon them, and has also met various beings that appeared from them, as if they are the orb. Pretty wild. I’ve seen orbs over my house and sent him some footage and stills. We had a brief convo about it. He told me “it’s a connection to the divine”. He’s also just a regular guy, not looking for fame or notoriety through this.


howmanyturtlesdeep

Definitely could be angels. I’ve watched Chris son on Danny’s pod as well as Chris Jr. on Ryan’s pod with his friend. I believe them but I think the lady is a force that is misleading Chris, possibly.


Troubledbylusbies

I think they use them for surveillance, watching us in general, or maybe certain targetted individuals in particular, maybe even our wildlife and plant life. I think that they are basically obtaining and recording data about all aspects of Planet Earth.


peescheadeal

I have a weird feeling they themselves are beings. Maybe existing in a higher plane and we don't see them right, or completely. I've had several encounters with them and they are 100% sentient.


howmanyturtlesdeep

A cursor from a higher dimensional being , like a 4D mouse arrow, but in our 3D spacetime.

That’s interesting. It makes sense given how irrational their movements seem to be a lot of the time. Wow, imagine how depressing it would be if we were just like the sims in a super computer being played by some kid a thousand years from now.

And that's what I think the ontological shock that everyone talks about is. That none of this is real.

Souls


jibjabjibby

They are not even what we can understand as “life.” The fact is we can barely interpret what 4 demential spacetime actually is. The orbs are higher dimensional intelligence which are perceived by us in what we perceive as reality.

Mysterious_Pin_7405

If aliens are so enlightened and wise why would they still have a dumb bureaucracy like a galactic federation


Kaiserschleier

What alternative do you suggest? If these entities are physical or can take on a physical form, or even if they are simply able to interact with each other, in other words, if they are conscious, then they would need to come together to share ideas and plans. What else could they do? Would they each isolate themselves and never leave their own spaces?


Stunning-Chicken-207

This is not your hypothesis. This is Patrick Jackson’s hypothesis and you’re just parroting it.


howmanyturtlesdeep

That’s fair. I’ve never heard of him, so it’s unknown to me that I’m parroting it, but of course when you consume so much lore you’re going to basically be regurgitating what you’ve consumed.


Basic_Archer_9003

Turtlesdeep has solved it. We can all go home now. 🙄

I think I was pretty clearly saying it’s all speculation, shared mine and asked everyone what there’s is. It hardly comes across like I’m just making it seem like I know what’s going on.
