Exploring Humanity's Hostility Towards Extraterrestrial Beings

Written on

In a striking article by The New York Post, a chilling narrative unfolds regarding an encounter with a UFO in Brazil on January 13, 1996. The report opens with a captivating claim: “It sounds like science fiction. The United States Air Force purportedly shot down a UFO, which subsequently crashed near a medium-sized town in southeastern Brazil.” Michael Shellenberger introduces James Fox's documentary, Moment of Contact, which delves into this decades-old alien encounter.

Rumors of humans downing UFOs are not new; some speculate that we were involved in the infamous Roswell incident, which actually featured two crashes in New Mexico. Was it mere chance that our nuclear tests caused these incidents? The footage from STS-48 suggests that we might possess ground-based weapons targeting UFOs—could this be a real-life Star Wars scenario?

Countless discussions could arise about military motivations behind aggression towards UFOs. There are pilots on record who claim they were ordered to shoot these unidentified objects down, both in the United States and abroad.

Humanity has a natural inclination towards aggression when faced with the unknown, yet it is essential to consider a more relatable aspect—fear from the alien perspective.

Fear Is Not Exclusive to Humanity

From an alien viewpoint, especially considering the portrayal of extraterrestrials in human cinema, the consensus suggests that humans tend to react aggressively towards them. Any alien researching humanity would understand this pattern. If you were an alien, would you develop biases? Would you feel animosity towards humans for their unprovoked hostility? If you lost comrades in what could be perceived as a conflict, wouldn’t you harbor resentment?

Imagine being shot down in unfamiliar territory, your craft rendered inoperative. The environment is inhospitable; the heat is overwhelming, and the air is not suitable for you. While humans might tolerate the local pollution, it could trigger severe allergic reactions for you. Everything appears distorted and foreign.

You realize that death may come from the elements or from the pitchforks and weapons of frightened humans. You don’t speak their language and even if you did, you’d likely find them unwilling to listen. You are the monstrous figure depicted in folklore, instilling more fear than you yourself feel.

While this scenario may seem theoretical, it’s worth noting that even in our fear, humans are capable of empathy and understanding towards fellow beings, whether human, animal, or alien.

On that fateful day, January 13, 1996, humanity shot down an alien vessel. It’s imperative that we acknowledge this ‘WE’. Perhaps it was a covert government operation operating outside the bounds of the Pentagon or Congress, unknown to those in authority.

Humanity must take responsibility for all hostile actions against extraterrestrials, especially since we are not doing enough to curb aggression towards them. We need to hold our governments accountable to the citizens they serve.

If the US has chosen to target aliens without global consensus, the international community should question this decision. Have nations colluded in secrecy? If so, we must collectively recognize our role in this aggressive stance toward extraterrestrials.

The reasons behind these actions might seem justified. Perhaps these small, red-eyed beings appear threatening. Yet, can we definitively say they are inherently hostile, or is their behavior a response to our aggression? If they are deemed enemies, shouldn’t we, as the targeted, have the right to understand our foes?

Is it possible for enemies to become allies? The film Enemy Mine illustrates the potential for transforming animosity into friendship.

The Incident of January 13, 1996

Just a week later, two teenage sisters and a friend encounter a small, terrified alien with large red eyes, cowering against a wall. Their screams alert their mother.

The alien was not poised for attack; it was simply frightened. This interpretation may be subjective, but the author did not suggest that the alien was waiting to harm anyone.

The Brazilian authorities captured at least two aliens, one of which reportedly scratched an officer, leading to his infection and death, along with the alien. The US Air Force seized the bodies and relocated them to an undisclosed site. A comprehensive cover-up by Brazilian military officials persisted for 26 years, enforced by threats.

This account raises questions. Did the alien’s scratch lead to the officer's demise? The alien was simply trying to find refuge with its back against the wall. Anyone who attempts to extract a cornered animal knows the potential for injury.

If humanity was more astute, we would recognize that alien pathogens might not be compatible with human biology, leading to serious health risks. There’s no earthly defense against such an encounter, reminiscent of the themes explored in War of the Worlds. Have we not recognized this since the days of H.G. Wells?

If we approached these encounters with kindness, we might demonstrate our willingness to assist. However, if our technology shot down their craft, would they trust our intentions? In Brazil, perhaps they might hope the locals would not support US policies that advocate for the extermination of all aliens.

A witness remarked, “Passing by, the graffiti captured my attention. I looked and saw the creature; it appeared to be suffering from the heat.”

If a teenage girl can empathize, can’t a trained officer recognize fear and distress? Is the immediate response to eliminate the unfamiliar ingrained in our nature? This question is critical and highlights the need for sensitivity training regarding extraterrestrial encounters.

Towards a Culture of Non-Aggression

To foster a society that views all beings as potential allies rather than adversaries, we must first eliminate the hostility surrounding those who report alien encounters. The current climate is so hostile that it may make experiencers feel like the true aliens among us. This must change.

The notion that we are alone in the universe is outdated. We are not solitary, and dismissing the evidence of alien existence is both absurd and perilous. Such denial places humanity at risk of collateral damage in an unpredictable conflict.

Ignoring the potential for extraterrestrial visits fuels reckless behavior among those seeking to capture or harm aliens for notoriety, treating the scenario like a trophy hunt.

It cannot be overstated: The uninformed are always at risk of becoming collateral damage in an unknowable conflict. This includes honorable members of our armed forces. It’s likely that rogue corporate entities, rather than the military itself, are responsible for these actions, driven by their own agendas.

All military forces adhere to a code of ethics that demands the highest standards of conduct.

If a recent letter to retired officer Robert Salas is accurate, indicating that the US Military does not perceive UFOs as a threat, then why are we, as a species, targeting them?

Historically, numerous unnecessary wars have stemmed from deep-seated familial grievances. When does the cycle of violence cease? It ends when communities collectively assert that enough is enough, when the last of the feuding parties are no longer present.

There needs to be an authoritative body, possibly under the auspices of the United Nations, to endorse a policy stating:

No human, in any capacity, shall intentionally cause harm to a non-human entity or its property without prior global consent.

All hostilities directed at extraterrestrials must cease. Naturally, there will be exceptions, such as scenarios involving abduction or harm, where law enforcement must intervene. Humans, fearing for their safety without the ability to retreat, should always have the right to defend themselves.

This mirrors the predicament of an alien with its back against the wall.

I am not suggesting that humans should refrain from fighting; rather, we need clarity on what we are defending. Is it our lives? Our planet? Or are we merely pawns in a game played by unscrupulous corporate entities that tarnish humanity's reputation?

We would not accept such treatment of ourselves—why permit our own to inflict harm on others, human or otherwise? Even those who remain skeptical about the existence of aliens should agree on the importance of promoting peace first, with aggression as a last resort.

Let’s strive for harmony between humans and non-human species. Let us forge unprecedented alliances for eternity.
