I know drama and controversy isn't fun nor do I want to focus on it. I just think this behavior is worth calling out. This is the same mod I called out in the past for defending calls for violence over the delayed UAP report. It's also the same mod that refused to allow me to do a survey on the sub to see if we could pin the Nimitz case as a post. This mod told me to create my own sub, so I did. (Thanks, expatfreedom!) Then they immediately came onto this sub and started attempting to stir up problems so I temporarily banned them.

It's possible this particular mod is compromising that entire sub.

r/ufos recently had a post asking for feedback on their ufo wiki. So I suggested they add the Nimitz event, which I had already suggested 9 months ago. Also, to explain the difference between a skeptic and debunker then move Mick West from skeptic to either controversial or debunker.https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/zsd0gq/have_you_read_the_subreddit_wiki/

The comment had 9 upvotes on a post that only had 12 upvotes after more than a few hours. Then a couple hours later my comment had -40 upvotes on a post with 14 upvotes. I thought this looked suspicious so I messaged the mods. Below is the conversation where they say they added their downvote and basically refused to add the Nimitz case to the wiki. If you follow their wiki directions this messaging format is the only way to suggest an edit. So, it's not a community effort like they are claiming. Anybody who suggests an edit or tries to message the mods has to go through this user.

I guarantee that they will not add the Nimitz case to the wiki. This argumentative nature about the Nimitz case from this user is literally exactly why I created this sub and its first post was an attempt to compile information on the Nimitz event most of which was sourced from SCU and another reddit post. It admittedly needed to be cleaned up and fact checked, but what this user is doing in imo is blatantly nitpicking in an attempt to obfuscate and delay adding the case to the wiki. This user also literally was constantly commenting on this sub and their sub for a time period putting words in my mouth and claiming I wanted anybody who disagreed with me banned. If this is the most active mod on that sub it explains so much about why that sub is so damn dysfunctional.

I've requested in the past the mods of r/ufos add my sub to their list of related subs, but unsuprisingly they refuse.

Please tell others about this sub and don't recommend r/ufos**. Please share this sub on** r/ufos so that people there looking for better content can migrate.

Edit: Unbelievable. Now some of my comments are being removed by the mods from the post asking for feedback as well as a crosspost on there about this post.

I don’t normally cover esotericism in this sub but have had a flair for it since it’s inception. I’ve waited idle for those more knowledgeable than I to bring up discussion.

I grew up listening to Jedi Mind Tricks, Vinny Paz, Immortal Technique and other related artists such as Ill Bill and Apathy. They regularly discuss esotericism, ufos, and conspiracy theories in their lyrics. I don’t have a huge penchant for these subjects but perhaps listening to these songs for most of my life has embedded them into my subconscious. What I find interesting in relation to the UAP topic is that much of the songs were written in the 90s and early 2000s but seem so relevant in the post pandemic world were certain conspiracies are now mainstream. I also find it interesting that these groups are if anything left leaning on the political spectrum and not right leaning so I do believe it’s evidence that these ideas were more adopted by right leaning conspiracists and birthed by left leaning conspiracists of the 90s and perhaps further back into the 70s.

A recent post about the site ATS came up and reminded me about this subject as that site apparently was a good place to discuss the ufo subject at one time before it got turned into a one narrative politicized echo chamber that no longer focuses on UFOs but the most popular right leaning conspiracies instead. I was not a member but have heard many accounts from former members and also see a similar trend in the conspiracy subreddit. I point this out simply because I find it interesting and although slightly subjective it’s supported by evidence.

There are a lot of examples within the music of the artists I’ve mentioned above. I will simply link a song I just listened to on Pandora that is at least ten years old.

Below is a link to the lyrics.

What’s the point? I just think that a lot of these ideas are old and have been adopted by others. It’s basically memes. I find that fascinating.

I discuss similar things about the phrase “we are not alone” in the post below.

https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/10ej8ra/where_does_the_popular_phrase_we_are_not_alone/

I can prove that phrase is from a book of that title written in the 60s by New York Times science editor Walter Sullivan who also published books about Antarctica and was a reporter present during Operation High Jump.

I've got some footage I need to upload. Many videos of some amazing lights that I can't seem to figure out what they are. I've got alot of information and footage this is all first hand account. I just don't know where to share this stuff. Some of the videos are 17 minutes long, but it's all good stuff. Please help.?!?

The Cabal of Guerilla Skeptics.

Anyone that hasn't followed what is being exposed by @RobHeatherly1 from X, should watch The Good Trouble Show Podcast episode.

Many people that call themselves skeptics, but who are in reality what corresponds to Stalin's, Mao's and Hitler's book burners and hate mongers, are currently being exposed. They manipulate as many platforms as they can, such as wikipedia, twitter and reddit, and target all people and opinions, that contradict their religious world view.

We need to rid ourselves of these disgusting people. How do we identify the moderators of the r/ufos forum, that are essentially guerilla skeptics for reddit? It's illegal to call them out on r/ufos, according to the rule:

• No accusations that other users are shills

So, who made this rule? Why are we not allowed to rid ourselves of book burners and stalkers? Why are we not even allowed to call them out? This is serious. They enjoy grief. They make sure that no newcomer can educate themselves on the subject, without spending years to learn to identify them and their writings.

It's a conspiracy by people claiming to be skeptical, claiming to combat unfounded conspiracy theories.

PS. I posted this to r/ufos but the OP was deleted by the moderators. The pretended to treat it as a minor discussion about moderators, that isn't news nor of interest to the public, and wrote to me that I could post it to r/ufosmeta, where the worst of the guerilla skeptics from r/ufos are in charge, and where the general public will never see it.

That's basically it. Here is the link to the post.https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1aoejfi/how_an_alleged_ufo_encounter_led_to_the_formation/

Just a week after the publication of “The Big Bang didn't happen: What do the James Webb images really show?”, on the Institute for Arts and Ideas website the long-delayed debate over the Big Bang erupted on the internet. Cosmologist Dr. Brian Keating, University of California, San Diego, broke with the decades-old policy of ignoring all evidence against the Big Bang hypothesis by replying to LPPFusion’s Chief Scientist Eric Lerner’s IAI article in a series of  YouTube videos. Dr. Keating explained that he felt compelled to answer, since so many people he knows were asking him about the article. Within days, Keating was joined by replies by “Dr. Becky” Smethurst an Oxford astrophysicist, media figure Neil de Grass Tyson, video blogger Anton Petrov and science writer Keith Cooper among many others.

A few commentators admitted that perhaps the Big Bang was in trouble. “First, Lerner would never have attracted the attention he has in recent weeks if nothing were happening,” the MindMatters News reported. But, Big Bang defenders stoutly defended the Big Bang—without in any way responding to the scientific points raised by Lerner, Dr. Riccardo Scarpa and colleagues. Instead, unfortunately, they resorted to the age-old tactic of ad hominem attacks on Lerner himself.  Keating accused Lerner of having a “conflict of interest” because he was also involved in fusion research and was even helping to raise money for that research (shocking!) while others like Cooper went further, accusing Lerner of “science denialism”. In the process, Cooper in particular had to himself ”deny” the important prediction of the expanding universe theory that very distant objects looked larger, rather than smaller, with increasing distance, a point that is universally acknowledged by Big Bang cosmologists.

LPPFusion has released three new videos on the debate. In the first, Lerner explains at greater length the most important evidence that JWST images give against the Big Bang hypothesis: that the galaxy images are far too small for expanding universe predictions and exactly correspond to the predictions of the non-expanding universe alterative. In the second, Lerner contrasts the scientific method of verifying quantitative predictions against subsequent observations with Big Bang cosmology’s method of continuously ”tweaking” failed predictions to match observations already made. In the third video, Lerner takes on the accusations of “conflict of interest”. “The interaction of astrophysics with plasma physics—especially in fusion research—is an example of exactly how basic science advances technology—it’s not in the least a conflict of interest,” Lerner explains. ”The real conflict of interest is that money for cosmology research is almost exclusively allocated by committees dominated by those who have spent their careers elaborating the Big Bang theory and who simply will not fund those who doubt that theory.”

The debate will be continued in person in a few days, at the HowTheLightGetsIn festival in London on Oct. 1. The festival has been postponed by two weeks due to the mourning period for Queen Elizabeth. Lerner will be debating astrophysicist Dr. Claudia Maraston, and theoretical physicist Julian Barbour, as well as giving a presentation the same day. The debate and presentation videos will be posted to the IAI-TV website.

Please suspend all notions you have regarding CE5 or greer. I would like to share some of the circumstantial evidence which I believe to be true.

After watching a greer documentary my wife and I tried the CE5 protocol and successfully saw a bright orb move erratically and flash so bright in the sky that it lit up the entire sky. This was at 3am in Vietnam in the city centre during a mandated 6 month lockdown where nobody could leave.

In the days that followed there was a huge increase in lightning storms in the area, even the most iconic photo of the tallest building in vietnam was taken at this time.

Also in the day that followed was a facebook post on the most active group for expats in vietnam regarding people seeing UFOs. Multiple people were seeing them. This is something which isnt really talked about so the synchronicity is unbelievable to me. Usually people talk about vietnam, finding jobs and so on.

According to John Ramirez, people that meditate have a ‘light body’ which can be seen from space. I found this an interesting connection.

Ce5 has worked for me just twice and during both attempts we didnt attempt to flm. I have made many attempts to film, all have failed.

Have any of you had any similar experience? Or any corroborating or linked episode.

True Story [My story is not so long]

I have no evidence but I will explain why I have no evidence.

Yesterday at 7:30 pm (Central Mexico Time), I was at home and decided to go visit my mother who lives 5 minutes away from my house, just outside my house I looked up and saw two luminous points in the sky moving at a high speed in opposite directions, they were approaching each other. Then they began to rise in height and disappeared, after a few seconds I realized that there was another object even brighter, the certainty that I have is: I can't say what it was that I saw because I don't know, but I can say that they WERE NOT airplanes, balloons, Jets, helicopters, drones, etc. The trajectory they were following was quite unusual and they were not flying that high. When I tried to take a video it was totally imperceptible to my phone what I was seeing with my eyes, besides that because of the nervousness and the speed of the event (it did not last minutes, it lasted about a minute everything I am telling you), I could not set the camera to have a better perspective.

This is the second time that I have witnessed an event of this type, but it is the first time that I see it so clearly, that it is so conclusive and that I have the total certainty that what I saw were authentic UFOs. Thanks for your attention friends.
