UFO

What does UFO really mean? UFO means literally unidentified flying object. So, from this point of view even something like a 737, 747, or 757 would be a UFO to someone who hasn't seen technology yet, like someone living in a rainforest somewhere that chooses to be tribal rather than to be educated in technology or someone else who isn't educated and doesn't have a TV or talk to other people much.

So, basically when I think of UFO it really could be anything that people don't really understand anywhere. It could be something people don't understand on the ground, or air or sea or even outside the atmosphere that is  moving like a light or even a star or planet.

When you look at it this way it brings everything into a whole new parameter. Next, let's go to people who like to read or watch Science fiction who seem to be interested in studying technology both existing and fantastical or potential scientifically or one or the other of these descriptions.

The more I have studied about technology is that it is sort of like studying religion or any other discipline. Stupid people don't usually survive it very well. So, unless someone is really bright in a variety of ways, technology is just a ticket to their death or maiming. I have watched in many places I have lived or visited around the world since the 1950s when I was a child. And some places people don't seem to be able to drive very well for one reason or another and so often I have witnessed terrible accidents while growing up into adulthood. I can remember a whole family in a station wagon when I was 8 coming the opposite direction on the freeway that were 50 feet in the air screaming while there station wagon went over our heads at 70 mph into the traffic behind us. Since I was 8 I asked my father if we were going to go back and help them? He said, "No." and I asked why but there was something about the look in his eye that made me stop talking about helping these people. I had no way of knowing that the people were screaming because they knew they soon would be dead instantly when they hit the traffic behind us with a total of 140 mph between the two and likely many people would die behind us on the freeway as well. But this took several years for me to understand because I was 8.

All Technology is sort of like this. So, when we think about sophistication of someone in a Flying Saucer flying between worlds and annihilating both time and space and instantly traveling from one time and space to another we don't get movies like "Predator" with Arnold Schwarzenegger, we get botanists and scientists like E.T. normally. So, then movies like Men in Black and Star Trek and Star Wars make more sense than horror movies about futuristic technology in general simply because the level of sophistication to survive any advanced technology requires incredible discipline like you might find in Astronauts all around the world who tend these days to mostly be scientists and researchers instead of World War II Fighter Aces and test pilots like the first 7 or more astronauts were here in the U.S. and Russia.

So, advanced technology tends to require high intelligence and discipline and sophistication to properly get all the benefits out of this technology. Otherwise, why use the technology at all?


It's like a 10 year old getting into a Maserati and driving away otherwise. Usually something like that is only fatal or maiming if the 10 year old even knows how to get it into and out of 1st or 2nd gear and beyond.



On a more personal note my cousin who had just graduated Law School around 1968 when I was 20 owned an XKE Jaguar. This was an amazing car for cornering and power. You couldn't really drag race with it because it didn't have the right kind of clutch for that. But, it was the fastest I have ever gone from 20 to 75 which was in about 1 to 2 seconds. more like 1 second. That was pretty amazing!
He put it in second gear and floored it and that was really amazing being pasted against the head rest and seat like that.
