He mentioned uncontacted stone age people. That's a reference to tribes today who choose not to connect with the outside world. For example, the Sentinelese are said to not even have fire. They have metal now only because a few years ago a big freighter crashed on their island, which surely was perceived the same as a UFO crash would be to us.
- eitland 7y agoThere's a story that reaches the front page of HN from time to time of a Russian family that fled from Stalin into the Taiga sometime before the space race and were only found I think in the late 70ies. One of the observations they had made from the wilderness was satellites, and IIRC they had figured out the objects had to be man made. That story always touches me in more than one way.
