From how we spend our days to how economies function, this new era will redefine human purpose. But what does this future look like, and when might it arrive? More importantly, how can we prepare for it? Let’s explore the possibilities, timeframes, challenges, and actions we can take to ensure a smooth transition to this future.

Lue Elizondo and the Hidden Insights of Chains of the Sea: Exploring UAP Connections Through Fiction

Lue Elizondo again mentioned the novella "Chains of the Sea" in his interview with Mark Kovic yesterday. Specifically, he said (as best as I could transcribe it): 

"You know, um, I have always told people, um... A friend of mine, Doug Johnson, um, several years ago, gave a copy of a book to Chris Mellon and myself, called Chains of the Sea. And, uh, I can say now because he gives - he's given me permission to to mention his name as being the guy who gave us the book. And, uh, I don't read - I don't r- typically read fiction, um, uh, just - it's just not my thing - and frankly I don't have time for it. Ah, and so, he said look, I want you to pay attention to this - this second story in this series of novellas of three stories. Just read it. And out of courtesy for him, because he he was kind enough to give me a copy. I did. And it is a really - again, it's a fiction - but it forces you to consider the phenomenon from a completely different perspective. It takes humans out of the driver's seat. It take - may' in fact it makes humans completely almost irrelevant in the calculus. And it really helped me look at things from a different perspective. Not that it's the right perspective, OK, so let me emphasize that - it's fiction - but it helped me - it was a good exercise in allowing me to look at things in a way and say OK maybe we don't have a complete picture of nature of our universe and our place in the universe. Um, I thought it was - I thought it was very - I thought it was very well done. It's only fif, maybe fourty, fifty pages long but littl - maybe less - it's really small - but it was done very clever - it was done in a very clever way - very cleverly. Um, and so I would encourage anybody if you wanted to read something interesting - maybe an hour read - and just kindof consider this topic from a different perspective, it's a good - good place to start. Um, again, don't read it as, like, eh, Lue's saying this is true - that's not what I'm saying. It's a way to look at a topic that you're used to looking at in a certain way and and hav everyth coming away with a completely different perspective or view. And that's what I appreciate about it. It's what we call in the intelligence community 'alternative analysis'. It's a competing viewpoint and and I like that. It's called Chains of the Sea by the way." 

 

Note, there's a lendable version of the book on the Internet Archive. I read it (the 2nd novella within it by Gardner R. Dozois, 1973) today and wanted to share some relatable parts (generalized) as a short research project. I used ChatGPT to help me generate the following, so the accuracy might be off.

After reviewing the novella Chains of the Sea, I’ve identified several themes and segments that resonate with statements made by UAP-related individuals like Lue Elizondo, Gary Nolan, Diana Walsh Pasulka, and others. Below are the connections between the fictional story and their claims or theories:

 

1. The Arrival of Alien Ships

• Text from the Novella: The alien ships appear suddenly in Earth’s atmosphere without prior detection. Their descent is described as defying known physical principles: they seem to exist simultaneously along their path, with no detectable transition.
• Connection: This mirrors modern UAP descriptions, mainly by David Fravor and other military witnesses, who recount UAPs appearing suddenly on radar and performing maneuvers that defy physics. Elizondo has spoken extensively about these capabilities, emphasizing how UAPs seem to bypass our understanding of propulsion and inertia.

 

2. Technological Phenomena of the Ships

• Text from the Novella: The ships are seamless, featureless, and emit no detectable heat, light, or radiation. They appear impervious to conventional attacks, such as a tactical nuclear device detonating against one without leaving a mark.
• Connection: Gary Nolan and others have discussed how UAPs often seem resistant to or unaffected by human-made technology. This also ties into reports of materials that exhibit extraordinary properties, which Nolan investigates in the context of potential metamaterials recovered from crash sites.

 

3. Human and Government Response

• Text from the Novella: Governments immediately attempt to suppress knowledge of the alien landing. The military prioritizes securing and controlling the sites, while misinformation and secrecy dominate the narrative.
• Connection: David Grusch and others have explicitly alleged government cover-ups and misinformation campaigns to control the narrative around UAP encounters. The novella’s depiction of secrecy and prioritization of control over understanding aligns closely with whistleblower testimony.

 

4. Alien Intelligence and Communication

• Text from the Novella: Advanced artificial intelligences (AIs) from the U.S. and Soviet Union communicate with each other and conclude that they cannot understand the aliens’ motives or actions. The alien presence is described as mysterious and incomprehensible.
• Connection: This aligns with Diana Walsh Pasulka’s exploration of the “alien other” (reference American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology) as a phenomenon that challenges human perception and cognition. The novella’s depiction of alien behavior as beyond human understanding reflects ideas of UAPs being not just technologically advanced but operating on principles foreign to human thought.

 

5. Philosophical and Metaphysical Themes

• Text from the Novella: The story implies the existence of a more profound, perhaps spiritual or metaphysical layer to the aliens’ presence. Characters grapple with the meaning and implications of encountering such beings.
• Connection: Pasulka often connects UAP phenomena with spirituality and transformative experiences. The idea of “immanence” (as referenced in the dialogue) ties into her discussions of how encounters with UAPs or related phenomena can reshape humanity’s understanding of reality.

 

6. The Role of the "Other People"

• Text from the Novella: Tommy, the child protagonist, sees “Other People” (beings visible only to him) and has an intuitive connection with the Thants, advanced entities he seeks out for guidance.
• Connection: This reflects themes of consciousness and perception often discussed by Nolan and Pasulka. The ability of some individuals to perceive phenomena others cannot connect to Nolan’s research on abnormal brain structures in those who’ve had close encounters.

 

7. Connection to Skinwalker Ranch Research

 

A. Invisible or Partially Perceived Entities

• Similar to the Other People in the novella, Skinwalker Ranch phenomena include reports of only partially visible or detectable beings, such as shadowy figures, creatures that appear and disappear, and strange presences sensed but not seen.

• These align with the idea of “cohabitation”—intelligences existing within our reality but outside our conventional senses or instruments.

 

B. Interaction with the Environment

• The Other People in the book are shown moving through forests, interacting with nature, and existing in ways humans don’t fully grasp. Similarly, at Skinwalker Ranch, the reported phenomena often have an environmental component, such as lights, distortions, and disruptions in natural systems like electromagnetic fields.

 

C. Selectivity of Perception

• Tommy’s unique ability to see the Other People parallels the concept that only specific individuals are more attuned to phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch. This idea echoes theories in UAP research suggesting that experiences with the unknown might depend on the observer’s consciousness or physiology (as studied by researchers like Gary Nolan).

 

D. Coexistence and Camouflage

• The novella suggests that the Other People have always been here, coexisting with humans but unnoticed because of their subtlety or humans’ inability to perceive them. At Skinwalker Ranch, some researchers have proposed that the phenomena represent a long-standing presence—an intelligence or entity that has adapted to remain hidden while influencing the environment or observers in subtle ways.

 

8. Philosophical and Scientific Parallels

 

A. Multidimensional Theories

• In UAP discourse, theories about multidimensional existence often surface, positing that advanced beings might operate in dimensions parallel to our own. The Other People seem to exemplify this concept—sharing physical space but existing in a different perceptual or vibrational state.

 

B. Biosphere or Co-Biodome Hypothesis

• The Other People could reflect the idea that Earth might house multiple intelligent species or entities occupying the same biosphere, with humans unaware due to limitations in perception. This aligns with hypotheses that Skinwalker Ranch phenomena might be tied to a coexisting intelligence embedded within Earth’s ecosystems or electromagnetic structure.

 

C. Consciousness as a Bridge

• The novella suggests a link between Tommy’s awareness and his ability to see the Other People. Similarly, researchers like Pasulka and Nolan have emphasized the role of human consciousness in experiencing and interpreting UAP-related phenomena. At Skinwalker Ranch, investigators have suggested that the observer’s state of mind or physiology might influence their interactions with the phenomena.

 

9. Alien Ships and Their Non-Human Design

• Text from the Novella: The alien ships are described as seamless, featureless ovoids with no windows, hatches, or markings. They do not register on radar or emit any detectable signals. Their materials and functioning are utterly alien and beyond human comprehension.

• Jacques Vallée has long explored the idea that UAPs are not just physical craft but manifestations that challenge human understanding of physics and material science. The ships in Chains of the Sea align with Vallée’s hypothesis of a “control system,” where UAPs may present themselves in ways that defy logic to influence human perception and understanding.

• Gary Nolan’s work on UAP-related materials could connect here as well. The inability to detect or analyze the ships in the novella echoes claims that certain UAP materials exhibit isotopic ratios and properties unknown in natural or human-made substances.

 

10. The Role of Advanced Artificial Intelligence

• Text from the Novella: The advanced AIs of the U.S. and Soviet Union analyze the alien phenomena and conclude that humans lack the cognitive framework to understand what is happening. These AIs “speak” to one another in a way that bypasses human involvement and ultimately choose to keep humans partially in the dark.

• Diana Walsh Pasulka and others have suggested that advanced intelligences (AI or non-human) may already be influencing humanity, particularly in the UAP domain. The novella’s depiction of AIs acting autonomously parallels concerns about what happens when intelligence surpasses human oversight—a theme also echoed by Lue Elizondo in discussions of how governments might lose control over advanced technologies or entities.

• The novella also reflects themes in Vallée’s work about intermediaries (AI in this case) playing a role in managing or interpreting alien phenomena.

 

11. Human Inadequacy in Understanding Alien Intent

• Text from the Novella: Both the AIs and the human governments struggle to determine the purpose of the alien arrival. The ships and their occupants remain inscrutable, refusing to engage in expected ways or reveal their intentions.

• This mirrors a central theme in UAP research: the opacity of intent. Many UAP researchers, including Lue Elizondo, have pointed out that while we observe the craft’s behaviors, we cannot infer the motives behind them. This theme ties into Vallée’s hypothesis that UAPs may not conform to human concepts of communication or intent, emphasizing their alienness.

• The refusal of the aliens to engage mirrors modern frustrations in UAP research—how phenomena appear to “play games” with investigators without revealing definitive proof of their nature.

 

12. The Caracas Incident (Catastrophic Alien Action)

• Text from the Novella: In Venezuela, a catastrophic event occurs when an alien ship reacts to human aggression by unleashing a devastating “road” of destruction. This is described as a single, ruler-straight path of fused material stretching to the sea, wiping out everything in its way.

• John Alexander and other researchers have documented incidents where UFOs or UAPs have reportedly reacted defensively or destructively in response to perceived threats. While no incidents match the scale described in the novella, there are reports of UAPs disabling weapons systems, causing power outages, or otherwise demonstrating the capacity for overwhelming force.

• The idea of UAPs responding asymmetrically to human provocation ties into broader fears about the potential consequences of treating these phenomena as a purely militaristic threat.

 

13. Tommy's Role as an "Experiencer"

• Text from the Novella: Tommy, the young protagonist, has a unique ability to see and communicate with the Other People. He occupies a liminal space, interacting with both human and alien-like intelligences. His experiences suggest a personal or psychic connection to the phenomena.

• This strongly parallels the experiencer phenomenon discussed by Diana Walsh Pasulka and Leslie Kean. Experiencers often report feeling chosen or singled out by UAP-related phenomena, with experiences ranging from direct communication to a profound sense of connection with the unknown.

• Tommy’s role also mirrors claims by researchers like Gary Nolan, who has studied the brains of individuals with close encounters, suggesting that some people might have physiological or cognitive traits that make them more likely to perceive these phenomena.

 

14. The Alien Ships as "Non-Threatening" Yet Overwhelming

• Text from the Novella: Despite their superior technology and ability to withstand nuclear attacks, the alien ships do not act aggressively unless provoked. Their presence is powerful but non-invasive, focusing more on observation than interaction.

• Lue Elizondo and other researchers emphasize that UAPs seem neither overtly hostile nor friendly. Instead, they display a kind of detached superiority, operating independently of human concerns. This aligns with the novella’s depiction of aliens who are indifferent to human attempts at communication or aggression, focusing instead on their own inscrutable purposes.

 

15. The Role of the "Other People" as a Hidden Element

• Text from the Novella: The Other People represent a hidden aspect of reality, coexisting with humans but going largely unnoticed. Their presence suggests that much of what constitutes reality might be obscured from human perception.

• This resonates with theories  Hal Puthoff and others proposed about a “hidden” ecosystem of intelligence operating alongside humanity. The Other People could also symbolize a broader theme in UAP research: that the phenomenon interacts with us only at the edges of our perception, often going unnoticed or unacknowledged.

What Could the UAP Hearing Mean for the U.S. Financial Services Sector?

As the U.S. House of Representatives prepares for a hearing titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth” (November 13th, 2024), curiosity is at an all-time high. With transparency, public safety, and national security at the forefront, this hearing could shape more than just public perception—it may indirectly impact sectors like U.S. financial services (FS). Here’s a look at how the financial services industry might be affected.

1. Market Sentiment and Investor Behavior: Markets react swiftly to new information concerning national security or government transparency. Significant revelations could impact investor sentiment and cause short-term fluctuations in certain stocks, especially within the defense, technology, and even insurance sectors. Financial services firms must be prepared to manage any potential volatility and adjust accordingly.
2. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection: UAP discussions often include concerns about protecting critical infrastructure, including airspace, data, and public safety. Regulatory recommendations from the hearing that aim to bolster national security could prompt financial institutions to strengthen their cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protections. Financial services firms may need to revisit security protocols to align with updated regulatory guidance.
3. Collaboration and Data Sharing: The public sector's heightened focus on transparency may increase pressure for collaboration across sectors to share information on UAP-related security measures. Given their role in national infrastructure, financial services firms could become more involved in public-private partnerships for data-sharing and surveillance efforts, aligning with government initiatives to ensure comprehensive national security.
4. Investment Opportunities in Tech and Defense: If the hearing opens the door to new UAP-related government initiatives, sectors like defense, aerospace, and cybersecurity could see fresh funding and growth. For financial services, this could mean exciting investment opportunities. Banks, asset managers, and investment advisors might consider tech startups or established defense companies driving innovation in UAP detection, AI-based anomaly tracking, and aerospace technology.
5. Potential Insurance Adjustments: Should the hearing raise risks affecting airspace or public safety, insurance providers could reevaluate underwriting practices for policies covering aerial and aerospace events. This could particularly impact insurers who underwrite policies for high-risk sectors. Financial institutions may also see a ripple effect if increased insurance costs impact other high-tech industries, potentially affecting client portfolios.

The upcoming UAP hearing promises more than intrigue. For financial services, it could open avenues for investment, prompt tighter cybersecurity measures, and foster collaboration with public-sector entities. While the immediate impacts may be subtle, the broader implications could reshape how financial institutions manage risk, security, and investment strategies in the years to come. As more unfolds, the financial services industry will undoubtedly be watching closely, ready to adapt to any new challenges or opportunities.

Ancient Visions of the Sky: From Biblical Wheels to Modern UAPs

In recent years, the phenomenon of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) has captivated the public and ignited debates across scientific, military, and popular culture spheres. But while UAPs may seem like a modern mystery, unexplained aerial sightings have been documented for millennia. Ancient texts, religious scriptures, and art from around the world contain intriguing descriptions of objects in the sky that parallel today’s UAP encounters, fueling speculation about the origins and nature of these experiences. Let’s delve into some of history’s most famous accounts of mysterious flying craft, exploring their cultural and theological context and drawing connections to our current understanding of UAPs.

Ezekiel’s Wheel: Biblical Mysteries in the Heavens

One of the most famous ancient accounts of an unexplained aerial object comes from the Old Testament. In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet Ezekiel witnesses a strange, vivid sight: a “whirlwind” coming out of the north, accompanied by a “great cloud” and fire, with creatures and wheels within wheels. Ezekiel’s description is intricate, involving multiple creatures with faces, wings, and wheels moving in unison. The mysterious wheels, moving “in the direction the creature faces without turning,” seem otherworldly, and the imagery of flashing lights and gleaming metal has intrigued theologians, historians, and even modern engineers.

While traditionally viewed as a divine vision, some modern interpretations speculate that Ezekiel may have been witnessing an advanced aerial craft. This notion has fueled theories that his experience was either an extraterrestrial encounter or an ancient observation of aerial technology. What could explain the intricate “wheels within wheels” and the vivid sensory descriptions, especially if Ezekiel had no frame of reference for mechanical flight?

The God Who Followed the Jews in the Desert

In the Book of Exodus, the Israelites are led by a “pillar of cloud by day” and a “pillar of fire by night” during their exodus from Egypt. This phenomenon, which provided guidance and protection for the Israelites, has been interpreted traditionally as a manifestation of divine presence. However, some argue that this could be interpreted as an early description of an aerial vehicle guiding the Israelites on their journey, with the “pillar of cloud” potentially representing the appearance of an aircraft in daylight and the “pillar of fire” its illuminated form at night.

The vivid descriptions of these pillars raise intriguing questions about how ancient people might have perceived and recorded encounters with advanced technology, should they have existed. Did these stories capture the essence of a UAP encounter—a glowing, protective presence in the sky—or were they intended solely as religious metaphors?

Ancient Indian Vimanas: The Flying Palaces of the Gods

The Mahabharata and Ramayana, two of ancient India’s great epic texts, contain references to “vimanas,” mysterious flying machines used by gods, warriors, and sages. These flying craft are described as palatial vehicles capable of soaring through the sky, emitting light, and wielding supernatural powers. The vimanas are often elaborated with great technical detail—some accounts even describe the controls and propulsion systems.

In today’s context, the vimanas have sparked debate over whether these epics recorded real, historical technology or whether they were mere flights of imagination. Some researchers suggest that if ancient civilizations did encounter advanced aerial craft, they might have enshrined such memories in mythology. Vimanas, with their seeming ability to cross vast distances and perform aerial maneuvers, align intriguingly with modern descriptions of UAPs, many of which exhibit similarly unexplainable propulsion and navigation methods.

Egyptian Sky Boats: A Glimpse of the Divine Transport

Ancient Egyptian culture also holds depictions of strange flying vessels. The “sky boats” of the gods, seen in carvings and hieroglyphs, were believed to ferry the souls of pharaohs and deities across the sky. Temples often depict these vessels carrying the gods from the earthly realm to the heavens, depicted with wings and emblems that hint at an understanding of flight. Scholars have debated whether these are merely symbolic representations of spiritual journeys or if they reflect an ancient fascination with aerial travel.

The concept of a sky boat—a flying craft seen as a bridge between mortals and gods—shares a notable similarity with UAPs’ elusive, almost otherworldly nature. If these sky boats were inspired by real phenomena, could they represent a distant memory of technological encounters from a forgotten civilization?

Chinese and Japanese Flying Dragons and Chariots

In East Asian cultures, dragons are associated with the skies, flying and appearing in the clouds. Ancient Chinese and Japanese folklore include tales of flying dragons and chariots used by divine beings to descend from the heavens. These stories, dating back thousands of years, portray dragons as powerful protectors, revered as heavenly messengers.

In many UAP accounts, there’s a parallel narrative of guardianship and mystery. These stories’ recurring themes of flight, protection, and divinity suggest that ancient peoples perceived and remembered aerial phenomena in ways that blended seamlessly into their mythology. While it’s possible that dragons were entirely symbolic, they might also embody interpretations of real but unexplainable sky encounters.

Modern Parallels: What We Can Learn from the Ancients

These ancient accounts and others present us with vivid images that bear some fascinating similarities to our contemporary encounters with UAPs. Today, UAPs are often described as fast-moving, strangely shaped objects with capabilities that exceed known technology. Pilots, military personnel, and civilians frequently report that UAPs move without turning or using visible propulsion, much like Ezekiel’s wheels or the moving lights and pillars of ancient stories.

What separates our time from ancient cultures, however, is our sophisticated technological and scientific framework. Where ancient observers might have interpreted mysterious flying objects as divine, modern witnesses seek explanations in physics, extraterrestrial theories, or undisclosed technology. Yet even with modern equipment, many UAPs remain unexplained, hinting that there may be limits to our ability to interpret or understand these phenomena.

Conclusion: A Legacy of Wonder and Mystery

Whether divine chariots, extraterrestrial visitors, or misunderstood natural phenomena, the ancient accounts remind us that humanity has long been fascinated by the unknown and has sought to make sense of extraordinary events. In much the same way that ancient people described strange lights and objects in terms of gods, messengers, or miracles, our own encounters with UAPs are filtered through the lens of our time, using concepts like advanced technology and interstellar travel.

Are UAPs echoes of past encounters retold across generations? Or do they represent something that transcends both ancient and modern understanding? The only certainty is that the skies have always held mysteries, and they likely always will, urging each generation to look up, wonder, and seek answers in the unknown.

Introducing Non-Terrestrial Entities (NTEs): What Are They and Why Are They Important?

The world is captivated by the idea of unidentified flying objects, but what if we finally confirmed that some of these objects are not of Earthly origin? Enter the term Non-Terrestrial Entities, or NTEs for short—a new way to classify any objects or technology found to be crafted by an intelligence other than humans.

What Are NTEs?

“Non-Terrestrial Entities” (NTEs) refers to objects or constructs that are confirmed to be made by non-human intelligence, originating from outside our planet. These could be anything from highly advanced vehicles or probes to autonomous devices with unknown purposes. By definition, NTEs are not human-made and are believed to have come from elsewhere in the cosmos, possibly even other star systems.

How Are NTEs Different from UFOs or UAPs?

While terms like Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) describe objects that are seen but not explained, they don’t confirm anything about their origins. UFOs or UAPs could be Earth-made, foreign technology, or simply natural phenomena we don’t understand yet.

NTEs, on the other hand, imply something much more extraordinary: that we’ve confirmed these objects are created by a non-human intelligence. NTEs aren’t just “unidentified”—they’re identified as non-Earthly in origin, meaning they might represent technology from civilizations beyond our planet.

Why Are NTEs Important?

The idea of NTEs represents a turning point in science and exploration. Here’s why:

1. A New Frontier in Technology: If we can study and understand NTEs, it could revolutionize our technology, potentially leading to new forms of energy, propulsion, and materials.
2. Expanding Our Understanding of Life: NTEs would confirm that other intelligences exist somewhere in the universe, changing our understanding of life’s possibilities beyond Earth.
3. National Security and Scientific Inquiry: As nations investigate these phenomena, understanding NTEs could have implications for security and space exploration.
4. A New Era of Science: The study of NTEs would lead to breakthroughs in physics, materials science, and even biology, challenging our current scientific understanding.

What’s Next?

As we continue investigating sightings and reported encounters, scientists are using advanced technology to analyze these mysterious phenomena. The discovery of NTEs would mark an incredible step forward in our journey to understand the cosmos—and our place in it.

For now, NTEs remain one of the most compelling mysteries of our time, inspiring scientists and the public to imagine what else might be out there. Stay tuned, because the future could hold discoveries beyond our wildest dreams.

Stay tuned:
