UFO Disclosure: Can you handle the Truth?

According to how the mainstream media tends to portray the subject of UFO's, people who research UFO/ET phenomena are mad and crazy fools who can't tell the difference between mundane swamp gas and exotic space-craft - and anyone who thinks there is some big international conspiracy to cover it all up is simply quite delusional. Although that may be right about me(!) it may not be right for the overall majority of the population who, according to many surveys, see the phenomena as being real and of an extraterrestrial origin (see http://www.ufoevidence.org/topics/publicopinionpolls.htm ). Given the enormous implications the extraterrestrial (or even ultra-terrestrial) hypothesis presents for the cultural, religious and economic systems that govern an already precarious global stability, would human society be able to deal with the 'madness' of such a momentous paradigm shock and shift in our collective global consciousness through such a Disclosure? Could we accept the fact that we are no longer the center of the universe? That we are relatively vulnerable, strategically disadvantaged and facing the unknown intentions of a more evolved, powerful and technologically advanced culture?

The following extract (taken from recently released 'Mirage Men' by Mark Pilkington) provides a unique insight from one Ufology's more credible and qualified observers - Dr Christopher 'Kit' Green. If you don't know who Kit is, here's his CV - http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3AE-4ZYB1wcB0J%3Awww.johnclarkson.com.au%2Fdownloads%2FDrGreen_Article.pdf+christopher+kit+green+curriculum+vitae+cia&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk . in the extract Dr Green is talking to researcher / author Mark Pilkington (the two indented comments belong to Mark Pilkington - His co-author, John Luhnberg, found the implications of Dr Green's information so disturbing that later on that evening he had to be 'talked out' of a bout of some considerable mental distress.) Given how these otherwise rational and skeptical men reacted to Dr Green's 'state of the Nation' report on the ET/UFO problem, then the road to the disclosure that he alludes to is going to be one of the most challenging journeys we have ever made and maybe for some people the old Disclosure cliche of 'you can't handle the truth' has some merit to it after all...



(Dr Christopher 'Kit' Green is talking to researcher / author Mark Pilkington) -

"In a country that has a large, educated population there is a large subset of individuals who suffer from what's called paraphrenia. Paraphrenia is a form of mental illness that doesn't interfere with your everyday life. It means that you can have a delusion and not be crazy, a delusion that you can confine and control. Many of us have one corner of the mind that is delusional - I bet you that I do.

I might, for example, be religious - I'm an Episcopalian, though as such, I am protected from diagnosis, as are all the UFO buffs, because a large social structure of shared beliefs, like a religion, cannot be a delusion. So all those people who believe that they are being beamed at by the government can no longer be diagnosed as crazy - there are just too many of them.

But, if there is a condition that is threatening to the social structure - like the idea that the aliens are here and they are taking our babies, or that God hates people of a certain creed or colour - and if people who believe in that kind of delusion band together, they can end up encouraging each other to get a lot sicker, or they strap on belts and make themselves human bombs. So we have to know how to deal with these people and how to prevent them from being dangerous to others.

This applies to the UFO problem. If something really strange in the area of UFOs is true, then what do we do about conveying that information to the public? First we consider what may be the basic facts: maybe there are civilised lifeforms elsewhere in the universe; maybe they visited us in their spaceships a couple of times and then went back home; perhaps they left a vehicle or some technology behind and we've spent a lot of time and money trying to figure out how to use it. And there may be people in the government who believe that this did happen, and believe that the information needs to be public knowledge, because perhaps someone outside of the government will be able to make sense of their technology. But there's another group of people in power who say, "No, it will make them sick to know all this, we can't let the story out, it's too dangerous." "

John and I glanced at each other. My mouth was dry. I felt the temperature drop. Or was it rising? I wasn't sure. Things were getting strange again. Did Kit just tell us that these things happened? Was that a hypothetical scenario he had just presented us with, or one that he believed to be real? Kit continued.

"So, what do we do? There are studies on both sides of the problem. Some show that people will go crazy and jump of bridges when they're presented with this information. Others, however, say that if you don't want them to go crazy, what you do is systematically desensitize their fears.

If you are a psychiatrist with a patient you can do that in a very methodical way. If you are a sociologist working with a group of students at a university you can do this in a very structured and experimental way. But if you are a government with a population it's a lot more complicated. Sure, there are those who are just going to shrug and say, "I always knew the aliens were real, it's no big deal." But you also know that some of them are nuttier than a fruitcake and could cause a lot of trouble. So we have to ask ourselves how we can tell people what they deserve to know and, maybe, what they need to know?

The way to do it is to construct a framework whereby they can parse out the things that they've heard that are not true, and you whittle it down to a manageable story. A story like this: "There were three spaceships that came here over thirty years, and we've got one of them. We can't figure out how it works, we've crashed it because there's a lot of physics that we've still got to learn. We do have something that's like a magnethydrodynamic toroid, and it really did get a craft of the ground, but it smelled bad and it killed a couple of pilots. And we're really sorry about that, but we did it because we've got this machine that came from another planet, and we need to know how it works." "

Oh god, he just did it again. I tried to slow my breathing to prevent the giddiness from becoming a full-on panic attack. Kit carried on, oblivious to my inner struggle. I was glad not to be inside one of his MRI machines.

"How do you tell people that story? If it's true?" he added, almost parenthetically. "If you were to give them the core story right off the bat, they'd get sick, so you do it slowly over ten or twenty years.You put out a bunch of movies, a bunch of books, a bunch of stories, a bunch of Internet memes about reptilian aliens eating our children, about all the crazy stuff that we've seen recently in Serpo. Then one day you say, "Hey, all that stuff is nonsense, relax, it's not that bad, you don't have to worry, the reality is this..." - and then you give them the real story."
