I do remember the comment thread on the 2017 time article here on hn. Opinions already have changed considerably in the last 5 years. It also appears as if the process of disseminating information still accelerates (with promis coming out as experiencers and so on). I can only advise everyone to consider C.G. Jung and read Jaques Vallee. This situation is very complicated, but not at all bad in the end. As far as I can tell, nobody got the real answers, not the pentagon, nor the religions.

I second those recommendations. Reality may be not as we think.

Could you expand on how Jung is related? I think of him as a researcher in psychology which doesn't seem connected? I may be missing what you are getting at.

  Plato's Cave, Jungian Archetypes, Valee's Control System all hint at the same insight, that founders of many religions also try to communicate: We live in a symbolic consensus reality, made up of individual dreams, if you will, that is quite malleable if we all agree. The new AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) has a Marcus Aurelius quote in Latin on the proposed Logo, used in the presentation slides by the director: "The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it". Maybe they understand more than I thought after all? Edit: added symbolic

    I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that quote used in the AARO logo too. It's a fun acknowledgement to this pervasive theory, which as you've highlighted, is a unifying theme in UFO encounters and much more. With UFOs getting as much pushback on HN (though this is improving) I would say crossing over into more of the "woo" and esoterics would give many here an instant dismissal on the topic :)
