Except, weirdly, the hair. It removes some of it and dramatically lengthens other parts of it.
Aliens never did grok hair, really.
Well played. I had my suspicions, but couldn’t resist seeing.
retired old man goes kooky…that never happens
The Galactic Federation obviously neglected to flash this guy’s memory before letting him out in public
I’ve met some awfully funny ones though.
Because there’s always those certain readers. Conspiracy… anyone?!

Galactic Federation? That’s absurd. Everybody knows the Federation of Galaxies is where it’s at. Splitters!
Funny thing, someone who says they know something about lucid alien contact, that doesn’t trip my bullshit meter right away, I’ll give them a listen, maybe…
It’s claiming that some kind of government connection or diplomatic relation, or secret arrangement with powerful institutions, that’s what put it in the category of claiming to be Napoleon or inventing a perpetual motion machine.
As much matter as is out there, we would have to be very special indeed to be the only language using life in the entire observed universe. (Language using seems safer than "intelligence"at this point in our history).
But galactic neighbors who somehow recognize some special status of the Israeli or USian government… I’d rather take my chances with a Nigerian prince.
Bah.
I remember working overnight shifts 25 years ago & listening to the Art Bell show; he had people on his show making these same claims all the time.
And they always had the same excuse as to why they didn’t reveal themselves:
‘Humans aren’t ready’.
Well, if those aliens are Vorlons, they might be right, but still…
I call b.s., especially (as others have noted) about how Lord Dampnut knows, but was ‘prevented’ from talking about it.
Bingo. Or, as we say on Kepler-452b, Nibnoc . I used to view this sort of thing much differently; campfire tales meant to amuse and enthrall, but nothing people would believe in the light of day. Let the old guy make his dime, no one hurts. Now of course I see things differently, thanks to you know whom. In any event, when you can attribute something to greed there’s no need to go further
not saying it’s bog standard New Age bullshit, but
Galactic Federation procrastinators breathed a sigh of relief when Trump was elected.
Watch where this goes. Back in the day, I was an invited mod on a leading conspiracy-UFO-paranormal forum. I quit after a few months because EVERY FUCKING CONSPIRACY THEORIST eventually blamed all bad shit on Jews. Watch the fallout here.
BTW, even I have had Area 51 experiences. But if I told you, I would have to abduct you. Stay calm, Earthlings. Nothing worse will happen than what you’ll do yourselves.
I was reminded of a certain Mel Brooks bit.
