  • The 2023 RAND study on the tendency for UAP to be seen in remote areas is interesting. But then again, it could also be a case of seeing things more clearly since there is less ‘noise’ in the sky outside population centers.

    Moreover this article strikes me as just applying humanity’s latest tech to the UAP problem.

    Personally, I’m tending toward Vallee’s hypothesis that the stealthiness has more to do with extra dimensionality of the phenomenon. That is, the way UAP blink in and out of sight and the often reported combining of multiple objects into one, or vis versa, is better explained if UAP are multidimensional in nature. They might still be extraterrestrial probes, but they could be something far weirder.





  • From my conversations with mainland Chinese, they often tout the line that the US was somehow involved, so it was partly an excusable defense of the homeland against dangerously co-opted students. That said, most acknowledge that it was pretty bad. But these are also well-educated Chinese working abroad, so I assume the majority of Chinese don’t know much.

    One story I heard retold by an English teacher working in Nanjing that I used to know was about the experience of one of the people involved in the protests…or at least they were an academic in Beijing at the time of the massacre. They were really depressed 20 years later and felt that nobody around them, particularly their students, knew anything.
