Terence McKenna
“Reality is, you know, the tip of an iceberg of irrationality that we've managed to drag ourselves up onto for a few panting moments before we slip back into the sea of the unreal.”
Terence McKenna

Terence McKenna
“I guess I should say a little bit about my method - I really am a fence sitter. I *loathe* Science and am always keen to attack it in most situations, though not here, because I love Reason and I'm perfectly aware of the difference. I also know what a concept means like Rules of Evidence. I'm not sure that's a concept as widely circulated in these circles as it needs to be - in other words, how *do* you tell shit from shinola? That's very critical. I think reason can only take us a certain distance, and then we have to go with the divine imagination, but with all safety systems fully in operation, or the divine imagination will lead us into complete paranoia.”
Terence McKenna

Carl Sagan
“Occasionally, I get a letter from someone who is in “contact” with extraterrestrials. I am invited to “ask them anything.” And so over the years I’ve prepared a little list of questions. The extraterrestrials are very advanced, remember. So I ask things like, “Please provide a short proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem.” Or the Goldbach Conjecture. And then I have to explain what these are, because extraterrestrials will not call it Fermat’s Last Theorem. So I write out the simple equation with the exponents. I never get an answer. On the other hand, if I ask something like “Should we be good?” I almost always get an answer.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Carl Sagan
“Even if the aliens are short, dour, and sexually obsessed—if they’re here, I want to know about them.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Terence McKenna
“If you cross an onion with a UFO, what you get is a flying saucer that brings tears to your eyes.”
Terence McKenna

Carl Sagan
“Just as there are those who accept every UFO report at face value, there are also those who dismiss the idea of alien visitation out of hand and with great passion. It is, they say, unnecessary to examine the evidence, and “unscientific” even to contemplate the issue. I once helped to organize a public debate at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science between proponent and opponent scientists of the proposition that some UFOs were spaceships; whereupon a distinguished physicist, whose judgment in many other matters I respected, threatened to sic the Vice President of the United States on me if I persisted in this madness. (Nevertheless, the debate was held and published, the issues were a little better clarified, and I did not hear from Spiro T. Agnew.)”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

C.G. Jung
“I myself recently dreamed that a UFO came speeding towards me which turned out to be the lens of a magic lantern whose projected image was myself; this suggested to me that I was the figure, himself deep in meditation, who is produced by a meditating yogi.”
C.G. Jung

Ian McDonald
“Everyone has a camera on their phone and no one sees UFOs anymore.”

Sahara Sanders
“Emily climbed onto a large boulder, watching the heavens while listening to the waves that were melodically splashing to the granite rocks.

Then, she petrified and curdled: two stars in the sky were moving quickly, changing the angles of the trajectory radically and sharply… disappearing and appearing again. In a few seconds, the third one joined them, doing the same.

—But it can’t be real! —Emma exclaimed, finding herself reaching her arm upwards. —No… can’t be real… just can’t…

The girl dropped her glance down, unconsciously hoping that if she didn't see the UFOs, they would stop existing.
She took a long breath, and, making as huge leaps as she could do with her little feet, ran back to the streets of the village.”
Sahara Sanders, Gods’ Food

Michael Bassey Johnson
“While man sleeps, strange things flock to nature.”
Michael Bassey Johnson, Song of a Nature Lover

Carl Sagan
“After misapprehended natural events and hoaxes and psychological aberrations are removed from the data set, is there any residue of very credible but extremely bizarre cases, especially ones supported by physical evidence? Is there a "signal" hiding in all that noise? In my view, no signal has been detected. There are reliably reported cases that are unexotic, and exotic cases that are unreliable. There are no cases - despite well over a million UFO reports since 1947 - in which something so strange that it could only be an extraterrestrial spacecraft is reported so reliably that misapprehension, hoax, or hallucination can be reliably excluded.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Carl Sagan
“I often am asked, ''Do you believe in UFOs?'' I'm always struck by how the question is phrased, the suggestion that this is a matter of belief and not of evidence. I'm almost never asked, ''How good is the evidence that UFOs are alien spaceships?”
Carl Sagan

Carl Sagan
“The UFO abduction syndrom portrays, it seems to me, a banal Universe. The form of the supposed aliens is marked by a failure of the imagination and a preoccupation with human concerns. Not a single being presented in all these accounts is as astonishing as a cockatoo would be if you had never before beheld a bird.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“Life on earth is considered a miracle, but why is other life in the cosmos a difficult concept?”
Michael E. Emmering

“We need to give an informative set of criteria for the best explanation. It is very difficult to do so. Here are some factors which should be taken into account”
Michael E Emmering

A.K. Kuykendall
“Would you believe me or think of me as effrontery if I told you that 1.) the meticulously detailed wealth of notes, now being referred to as the Blue Planet Project, are actually the diary entries of Dwight D. Eisenhower, 2.) that they are records that go as far back as 1939, 3.) that when this diary first surfaced in the 1980's more than a decade after his passing, covert gatekeepers of Eisenhower's true legacy removed any pertinent Intel that would shine light on just who he was; beyond that which we've been systematically led to believe, and last but not least 4.) that he obtained this information during his time as the first and only human functionary ever to be accepted as a representative on the Council of Galaxies—an off-world body made up of countless alien species from innumerable extraterrestrial worlds that span the furthest recesses of our multifaceted macrocosm?”
A.K. Kuykendall, Imperium Heirs

“The late nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, one of the best known and most respected UFO investigators, became the highest profile Lazar debunker, and although he often told his audiences that he was done with the case, he continued to write and speak about Lazar right up until his death in 2019. Bob Lazar became Friedman’s white whale. Stan was a friend of mine and I greatly respected his decades of work on the UFO subject, but he had a blind spot when it came to Lazar.”
Bob Lazar, Dreamland: An Autobiography

Susan Demeter
“On cosmic initiations: "And then everything changed after the strange lights in the night-sky came.”
Susan Demeter, COSMIC WITCH: magic, witchcraft, and the supernatural

Susan Demeter St Clair
“One of the greater problems that I see within modern UFO circles and in particular those “nuts and bolts” investigators who subscribe to the ETH or extraterrestrial hypothesis as the default explanation for cases they cannot explain is the absolute dismissal of high strangeness reports. Terms like “woo woo” to describe witnesses are freely bantered about in online UFO forums, and social media including by those UFO researchers who proclaim they are taking a more scientific or neutral look at UFO events.”
Susan Demeter St Clair, UFOs: Reframing the Debate

Philip Plait
“Yet, of all the people I have had approach me or e-mail me to say they have seen a UFO, not one has been an amateur astronomer. As a matter of fact, I have never heard about any amateur astronomers seeing something in the sky they absolutely could not explain. Yet they spend far more time looking at the sky than lay people and statistically should see far more UFOs! How can this be?

Easy. Remember, the amateur astronomers study the sky. They know what's in it and what to expect. When they see a meteor, or Venus, or sunlight glinting off the solar panel of a satellite, they know it's not an alien spaceship. Amateur astronomers know better and, in fact, all the amateurs to whom I have spoken about this are very skeptical about UFOs being alien spaceships. This is a very strong argument that there are mundane explanations for the vast majority of UFO sightings.”
Philip Plait, Bad Astronomy

Stewart Stafford
“Inexplicable by Stewart Stafford

I ran into Bigfoot,
Or John Paul Yeti,
Told me of aliens,
Found by SETI.

E.T.s kidnapped me,
And I lost two hours,
Hurts to sit down now,
They never sent flowers.

Nessie gives the hump,
Or is it a boat’s wake?
So proud to be Scottish,
Bagpipes in the loch/lake.

“If aliens do not exist in this universe, then you do not exist in this universe as well! If you exist in this universe, then aliens exist in this universe too! The huge universe that created you also created aliens, it's that simple!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

Richard M. Dolan
“So, to the open-minded, the controversy is settled-UFOS exist. Although it remains unclear whether they represent travelers from another solar or star system, another dimension, or another time line, they most certainly represent yet another part of our reality. And the sooner the human race comes to deal with this fact, the better. The question now becomes, "Who occupies UFOs and why are they here?" And even more importantly, "What are we going to do about this new reality?" It is this question that is addressed in this book.”

Thomm Quackenbush
“One can point to countless Sasquatches and their morphological kin, ghosts by the bushel, and aliens by the mothership load, but Gef existed just this once.”
Thomm Quackenbush, The Curious Case of the Talking Mongoose

“The role of science should be to investigate the unexplained, not explain the uninvestigated.”
Stephen Rorke

Mehmet Murat ildan
“We exist in this universe because it was possible for us to exist, otherwise we could not exist! It was possibleness that transformed us into reality! Aliens exist in this universe because it was possible for them to exist, just as it was possible for us to exist. Possibleness transformed aliens from a mere possibility to reality, just as it transformed us from a mere possibility to reality!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

Mehmet Murat ildan
“To think that there are no primitive or intelligent life forms outside the world means to have never grasped the ability of this universe we live in to make what happens in one place possible in another!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

Mehmet Murat ildan
“Is there life on earth? Yes there is! Are there special molecules that create life on Earth that do not exist in the universe? No there's not! The materials that are here are also in the universe, the materials that are in the universe are also here! Conclusion: There is life on Earth, and there is life in the universe! Forget the question of whether there is life in the universe; now look for the answer to how we will meet these extraterrestrial beings!”
Mehmet Murat ildan
