I am intrigued by the UAP phenomenon but not an avid follower. I am mostly updated on what’s going on through friends and the occasional podcast. Until its sudden disappearance I loved the De Void blog by Billy Cox in the Herald Tribune, which was really good, and covered factual information on the subject long before before the famous NY Times piece in 2019. For some years this was my only reliable source on the subject. He suddenly disappeared from the public eye in the aftermath of the pandemic. I hope he’s alright. I would have loved to hear his opinion on the current developments.
Anyway, we had the congressional hearing in Washington DC last july, which was highly anticipated and sent a shock wave to world media. Although, in the current climate where we are hit by shock waves on a daily basis, this no longer has the same effect it may have had ten years ago.
There was mention of Biological samples, which always stirs the imagination like Marilyn Monroe singing Happy Birthday.
Then, in September 2023 there was the congressional hearing in Mexico, which left little for imagination to work with. Sometimes it is more exciting to be kept in the dark, than to be served exactly what you ask for.
Biological samples were presented by Jaime Maussan, a well known figure in the UAP world. Placed in coffin-like boxes on a silken cloth laid two mummified humanoid bodies that were allegedly of alien origin.
The call from the scientific community to examine the samples through the proper channels were ignored and Mausain and co kept a tight control over the operation in the aftermath of that rather shocking display.
The build up to disclosure, so carefully crafted, though tense like a piano string, was going rather smoothly, until Maussan’s elephant, wearing a Lucha Libre mask, came trampling in!
The response of the UAP community was understandably lukewarm as everybody looked at each other across the table as it sat itself in the corner of the room. People who reluctantly had opened the door to look what was going on inside the UAP community, quickly backed out again and closed it behind them, deciding this whole UAP thing was not for them after all.
It’s hard to imagine the bodies are real extraterrestrial humanoids. The whole episode brings back memories of the failed Ecce Homo restoration in the Spanish town of Borja in 2012. “Maybe no one will notice.” Then again, the audacity of presenting fake alien bodies, that look like papier maché bodies on broomstick skeletons, is admirable. That takes balls. X ray scans were presented too, but the damage was already done.
The samples are real, or not. Either way, somebody is going to get embarrassed about it. So most people don’t react at all.
I find this more interesting than the actual event.
Presenting the bodies was, although perhaps not intentionally so, a divisive thing to do.
Maussan has become the trickster of the UAP community with his Mercurial act, and the bodies shown now play that role, whether we like it or not, and regardless if they are real or not.
We want disclosure, but not too fast. And not in a way that we have to feel awkward about.
But if we truly want disclosure on the existence, and presence of extraterrestrials, we have to dare to let go of the narrative.
Truth may be stranger than fiction, are we really ready for it?
