What we don't know

 

The US intelligence agencies will submit a report to the US Congress later this month based on the government's files on UFOs or UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenal. Apparently the Pentagon is not ruling out the alien theory citing absence of evidence to reject it.

It pertains to objects sighted and tracked on radar by military personnel in air-craft and naval ships. Apparently these objects travel and maneuver in ways that surpass physics and aerodynamics comprehensive to our world. 

In addition to the extraterrestrial theory (aliens from another planet) there is speculation on a "Ultraterrestrial" theory which is something outside our 'physical reality'. It is known as the IDH interdimensional hypothesis ie. something outside the dimensions we perceive. This theory is fueled by the fact that these objects seemed to travel at speeds faster than light which makes interstellar travel seem impossible. In addition these objects were known to appear and disappear from sight and radar, hence fueling the hypothesis that the UAPs are able to enter and leave our dimension or travel between different time dimension or realities.

I am really intrigued with this news. I have often dismissed the sightings of  UFO as hallucinations or wild imaginations at best. With report of sightings by the US military and the Pentagon's inability to proof otherwise, I begin to wonder about our so called perceived reality and how much there is unknown to us. Just think of it this way, without the telescope and the microscope our perception of the world we live in and who we share it with is so limited. We rely on our senses to apprehend reality ignoring the fact that much of reality can not be perceived by our senses.

We close our mind to anything that defies logic or science (ie. up to the latest scientific discoveries todate). In a way we may be behaving like the clergies in the times of Galileo.

I don't know how this coming report will affect my world view but as of now I think I will not dismiss any metaphysical/religious/transcendental theories without deeper thoughts. It also calls for a check on attachment to this material world.
