What Are UFOs and What Do They Say About Humanity?
Back in 2024, I went down the rabbit hole of UFOs/ UAPs. It was around the time David Grusch hit the scene and it really did seem like we were going to get disclosure any day. There was an energy around the topic, it felt charged, so much so that I found I could rarely think of much else. I read American Cosmic by Diana Pasulka, picked up Elizondo’s Imminent, watched all the congressional hearings on the topic, and got hooked on AJ’s The Why Files. The whole topic was a special interest of mine right until January 2025, when News Nation released a video with US Air Force veteran Jake Barber, of a UAP crash retrieval of a giant egg. The evidence… A video that looks like someone poking a normal sized egg with a stick in low resolution…
And honestly, that video switched me off from the subject all together until I started to see patterns re-emerging once more. More recently I spent 6 months working on a series called ‘The Red Book’ which investigated Carl Jung’s Libre Novus, bringing his visions to life, and using the stories and lessons as a lens to view the modern world. Eventually I discovered that Jung had wrote about UFOs in 1958.
Carl noticed that UFOs seem to emerge in times of a meaning crisis, which would ultimately become the thesis of the investigative video I made on the topic. I wanted to lay out a timeline of UFO encounters across history, from the alien cave paintings in Western Australia, which are potentially 4000-17000 years old, to the more modern sightings and stories around the Nimitz Tic Tac video.
And it all gets a little bit strange to say the least. I feel like I’ve done a good job of condensing the heart of the topic into 35 minutes, exploring UFOs from a multitude of angles, using visuals to help others better understand the recurring patterns that emerge.
But where do I draw my own conclusions on the subject matter? I have never seen a UFO, although I have had strange synchronicities in my life that have made it near impossible to remain nihilistic. My gut feeling is that when we feel unsatisfied with reality, there’s something within us that draws us to the sky and hopes that there is something beyond our current understanding of reality.
I also think from a philosophical point of view, that we shouldn’t sit back and hope that saviors will emerge from the sky. Instead, we should find ways of living that have the potential to align the world and put it on a brighter path.
While I think there probably is more to reality than we can fully comprehend, we should remain humble to the fact that we don’t have those answers and we should be skeptical of those who say they do without substantial evidence to back it up.
