They are From Here

In case anyone missed @UFOrealitycheck's recent discussion about one way we might overlook other lifeforms here on Earth, I've reposted it below. Even though he was larping, his story is still an interesting commentary and illustrates how an unfamiliar lifeform could be easily overlooked:

...

"I'm going to tell you what's going on. Why the subject has moved into a more urgent discourse and what all the so-called breadcrumbs and hints actually mean. I am in a position to do this because I am currently working in a field that is directly related to the subject and have been exposed to information that I believe people have a right to know.

"We are sharing this planet with an entire biosphere that has been hidden from us until now.

"We think of abiogenesis as a singular event that occurred early in the planet's existence, giving rise to DNA and never to be repeated. This is entirely wrong. Abiogenesis has occurred more than once. We know that at some point after the evolution of the DNA genetic polymer another incidence of abiogenesis occurred giving rise to an entirely seperate genetic polymer.

"Non DNA based life. On Earth. This second genesis, as it is sometimes referred to by others working in this area, arose deep within the planet itself, in an environment completely seperate from the surface. By which I mean the oceans, landmass, even the deepest caverns and cave systems we have explored are all "the surface".

"This second abiogenesis occurred much deeper, completely independently and gave rise to a form of life entirely unrelated to the DNA tree of life.

"Now, in terms of microbiology etc this would merely be a scientific curiosity, a Nobel prize perhaps, papers and articles and a new branch of biology. All well and good.

"Several projects under a special access umbrella have essentially had to create an entirely new classification, nanogenetic viroid, the closest thing we have to compare it with are infectious pathogenic single strand RNA. But it is so different that we honestly would not have detected it as "life" if a few very smart people hadn't convinced a few very powerful people to fund a project to look for novel genetic polymers in a hypothetical shadow biosphere.

"Now, the problematic part... recent work in the last three decades has established that at least one branch of this so-called viroid is intelligent.

"Let that sink in. An intelligent pathogen that has completely escaped our notice for the entire span of our existence.

"This obviously changes the entire situation. Furthermore we also now know that this intelligence is not only aware of humanity but is actively interacting with us. In a deliberately manipulative and clandestine manner.

"It is capable of altering our perception, it can manipulate the visual cortex, it can stimulate the auditory cortex.

"It can make you see and hear things that are not there.

"It can work cooperatively, infecting a group for example and causing all individuals in that group to see and hear exactly the same thing.

"It is intelligent, easily as intelligent as us, if not more so. It observes us through our own sensory organs, it has done so for millions of years. It understands our culture, it has influenced our culture, it has pushed us in directions it wants us to go. Gods, UFOs, aliens, fairies, demons, whatever, it has generated them all using our own minds, our own eyes and ears. Subtly shifting with our own development and culture, from magical beings to spirits to technological aliens.

"All a lie, all a confabulation to both hide it's own true nature and to push humanity is certain directions, for what end we honestly do not yet know. The communication is one way at the moment, we have tried but so far they/it doesn't want to engage in direct communication.

"Contactees are not being spoken to by external aliens, they are infected by the viroid and it is stimulating their brains to experience communication. It pretends to be Gods, it pretends to be aliens, anything that is external, that is from above us or beyond us so we never even considered searching for the source right here on Earth. Existing alongside us all along, using us for it's own ends.

"Using us like containers, like vessels. Undetectable, until now. Thank fucking God for Matt Carrigan.

"Religions, wars, god only knows what else humanity has done that was not our own motivation but instead the manipulation of this thing, this mind that is both ancient and cunning and using us.

"This is the great and terrible secret that Lue Elizondo, Tom Delonge and the rest have been dancing around, I'm not convinced they even fully understand what it actually is, they merely know it's not extraterrestrial and has always been with us.

"Vallée is close, he understands what it's doing and quite a bit about how it does it, but again nobody understood what exactly it is until the first real evidence came around 2014 after 30 years of work.

"So that's what is really going on. The main project is now shifting to how we can prevent it from doing what it does and trying to engage it on a level playing field so to speak.

"There are also programs focusing on trying to figure out why it does all this to humans and what exactly it's goals are. But until such time as results can be produced, which may well take another 30 years to be honest, people are still going to see UFOs, see religious apparitions, Bigfoot, ghosts, swear they were taken by aliens in the middle of the night, see shadow people, receive "telepathic" messages and all the rest.

"Now you know, and I can assure you that was the quick and dirty summary. It would take days to explain all the nuances and just how deeply this "organisim" (for want of a better word) has worked it's way into humanity.

"We are quite frankly not our own masters and it seems we never have been. We don't own this world, we are the hands and eyes of something else and we have no idea how to stop it.

"Edit: There have been some questions and I will do my best to answer within the scope of my involvement.

"Bear in mind my field is limited to the subject as it pertains to the research outlined in the original post but I do have some peripheral knowledge about other areas as there is often a certain "fuzziness" between working groups in close proximity. How does the RNA viroid phenomenon as described reconcile with recordings and sensor data of physical UAP?

"Objects which have been recorded by sensors such as radar are discounted as part of this phenomenon, this may seem jarring to many within the UFO community but it is the truth. We're seeing conflation of elements that are unrelated even if superficially similar to the layperson. Most of these physical UAP have occurred in a military setting and are prosaic insofar as they are the product of human technologies and are not deemed to be products of the phenomenon by any study group involved in this research. They are real but they are not currently thought to be connected to the viroid phenomenon.

"As for video and photography, there is none. This may seem like an outrageous statement at first but I assure you it is accurate. It will take some explanation. FLIR, GIMBAL, GOFAST etc fall under the category outlined above. They are also solved internally for the most part with only the so-called tictac remaining truly anomalous. However it is not considered by the working groups to be part of the phenomenon and is deemed to be a novel adversarial technology or an internal project, basically it'sthe Navy's problem. But all that is beyond my purview so I don't have any further details on it. I do know that extensive work was done on comparison studies between these cases and civilian UFO and paranormal reports, aside from superficial association most groups involved in these projects are satisfied they are unrelated. The military has a UAP problem without doubt but it's a seperate situation from the phenomenon I am discussing and I don't personally know anything substantial about the UAP engaging our military assets . As I said, beyond my purview, outside the scope of my work.

"On Luis Elizondo. I don't know him and have never spoken to him. However AATIP was part of the sphere of engagement for several groups and studies that shared information. I do know he was running AATIP and was trying to put together all these messy and often bizarre piles of information to try and get some kind of coherent picture. But his main concern as far as I know was whatever these technologies the military were encountering are. He had and still has, an overlap in his assessments but he clearly understands the effects of the phenomenon if not it's precise nature. But regardless I can only tell you what I understand from the information I have been exposed to and that information clearly indicates no relation between the UAP recorded by these military sensors and the phenomenon I am trying to describe. The conflation of the two has produced significant confusion although I am not sure this isn't intended in some respect. Both are real but there does not seem to be any rational connection that anyone has made so far.

"So with these handful of military cases put aside I will now state something that will not be popular in the UFO community... The fact is that there is no genuine footage or photograph of this phenomenon. It is a non-physical and purely neurological occurance. There simply cannot be any. All audio/visual recordings, ie; videos and photographs are, without exception, misidentified or outright hoaxes (and what motivates some hoaxers to create them is actually part of the larger phenomenon). This is a bitter pill for many, but I assure you it's the truth. I can't be any more plain than that.

"Next question. What about physical trace evidence such as that found at alleged landing sites. For example, depressions from struts or landing gear, scorch marks and so on? Okay, this is where it gets messy and I will try to elaborate on what I said about the motivations of some hoaxers. What you need to understand is that this "organism" is able to essentially rewrite your neural pathways. It's not just a matter of inducing hallucinations. False memory, screen memory and missing time are all a function of it's ability to manipulate the human brain.

"It can put an idea into your mind such as "I'm going to hoax a UFO landing" and make this feel like the most brilliant compelling idea you've ever had and once you have acted upon it the viroid erases all memory of the action you have just taken and creates the memory of a close encounter or implants a supressed memory to be retrieved or triggered later or in some cases simply leaves the victim with no memory at all. We don't know what reason one method is employed over another, if any, or if it's simply arbitrary or random.

"Abductees who bear physical marks, injuries or scars have been manipulated into self inflicting those wounds and then have that memory replaced or erased. Obviously this is not a pleasant thing to hear for an abductee and most will simply not accept it. The "memory" of how they got those marks (if they even have any at all) is just too real to them. But it never happened. They inflicted the wounds on themselves, they then tended to it, allowed it to heal, all the while feeling like this is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Days, weeks or longer we don't know if there's a limit. Then their memory is wiped and/or replaced by the viroid and they recall an experience constructed entirely inside their brain by the infection.

"I hope you are now beginning to understand the seriousness what we are dealing with. It can make you see things, hear things, it can influence your choices and thereby your actions and then make you forget or remember whatever it wants in any way it wants. Consider the implications of this. The potential for serious harm. Do you understand that people like Billy Meier, George Adamski and others historically lambasted as liars and frauds may have actually thought their experiences were real? That, for example, we are somewhat certain based on some comparative behavioural analysis that George Adamski was indeed infected, and that he spent hours, days or weeks in a fugue state, building and photographing fake UFOs and then having his mind altered to believe it was all real. His multiple witness encounter was just another example of how the viroid works as a singular intelligence even across seperate infected individuals. Indeed he may well have been the one who infected the others before bringing them out to "see" the event. Obviously this information would cause extreme indignation and even outrage among sincere experiencers who are absolutely convinced they have had genuine encounters or witnessed objective external events. However the truth, hard as it may be to accept, is that these experiences are products of neurological and psychological manipulation by the phenomenon.

"You need to realise that what makes this situation so alarming is the intelligence this thing displays. It's awareness of us, how we think, our culture, our beliefs and ideas and how it has manipulated all these things to varying degrees at various times to put us in a sort of Plato's Cave of its making. As I said in the original post the focus now is on why it's doing this and also on whether there is a possibility that some individuals may be wholly compromised by the viroid to the extent that they are in essence no longer themselves so to speak. If this is the case then the situation is far more dangerous than simple strange encounters for unknown reasons, as we have no reliable way of detecting such individuals without employing a significant regime of testing and no firm theory on what the objectives of this intelligence are. I hope that helps answer at least some of the more pertinent questions, I know it's insufficient to explain the situation exhaustively but this entire thing is so compartmentalised and frankly chaotic, that it's impossible for any one person on the inside to acquire all the information. I also realise this entire explanation of the phenomenon will anger and dismay many who have invested themselves in the subject and subscribed to certain "core story" elements.

"But I ask you to consider, was it your choice to become invested in those ideas? Or did something inside you compel you to do so? And if you can consider this possibility then you are close to grasping the severity of the problem.

"We are not alone, it is among us, it is inside us and it is doing something to us. We have to find out what and why.

"As I said I believe people have a right to know these things, I understand why such an abhorrent truth has been kept tightly controlled but nonetheless, these are our lives and our minds and bodies and we deserve to know if something is infiltrating our minds and bodies and compromising our autonomy as individuals, as a species and possibly as an entire civilisation.

"I have broken about eight NDAs between both of these posts but I'll be alright. This is an obscure enough place to vent and feel like I'm telling somebody at least. If only one person grasps the situation I can't complain.

"I'm sure you can understand that you won't be hearing from me again. I have said my piece and that's all I can do. I hope we can figure something out and either work with this thing or beat it. When you get into a field like mine you do so with high hopes for the future of the human species. It's a disturbing and bleak realisation that our destiny is being inexorably stolen from us by something that treats us and our society like living clay to be molded and shaped into some unknown thing that it wants us to be.

"Now I'm digressing which is a sure sign I've said all I needed to say."
