I wanted to discuss ideas about where intelligent aliens like us or better could be.

I'm aware that there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of worlds that have been discovered with the potential for life.

Possible reasons for why we haven't communicated with aliens yet could be discussed.

Here is the next installment in the Nordic Humanoid series. As usual 4 reports from Finland, Denmark Sweden and Norway. Well, almost 4.5 cases this time, since we have an anectdotal story to one of the cases. Enjoy!

Strange robots in the forest.

Near Saarijärvi, middle of Finland, November 29 1939.

It is around 5 pm and 14-year old Arvo is out in the forest collecting firewood together with his father. It is getting dark soon and they decide to go home. They have only been walking for a few minutes when they spot something on the right side of the path. On a small rocky hill about 70 meters (75 yards) away, they discover a strange metallic object. They think it might be a moonshining device. Arvo, who has never seen one wants to go and have a look, but his father says no. It can be dangerous. So they observe the object from a distance instead.

The object is partially covered by small trees, but they estimate it to be 4 meters (12 feet) in diameter. It has a conical shape and is wide at the bottom and tapering at the top. The height can probably be about 2.5 meters (7.5 feet). It stands on three long landing legs (each leg consists of 2-3 rods). They now think the object looks more like a craft of some kind. And below, they see an almost 1.5 meter (4.5 feet) long flame shoot out from the bottom. It almost resembles a welding flame. From the lower part there are also 5 – 6 smaller, different colored flames coming out 45 degrees from the hull. They are 0.5 – 1 meter (1.5 – 3 feet) long. The sound coming from these flames is similar to the sound of gas seeping out. Both father and son are now very curious and walk a little further towards the object.

What they thought was a moonshining device hidden in the forest, turned out to be a strange craft. (artistic impression)

When they got a little closer, they hear strange noises from something moving and they get a little worried. They now see that they are not alone. In front of the craft stands a human or humanoid. He is about the height of a grown man. Or maybe a little shorter. He is dressed in a light gray jumpsuit, almost like one worn by astronauts. On his head he has a full-face helmet with a black oval visor. The humanoid also carries a box with flashing lights. Next to him, Arvo and his father see something they only thought existed in books, 2-3 robot-like creatures. When they walk, they lift their legs high and Arvo can see that their legs are thin rods ending in a plate that appears to be their feet. It looks like the humanoid is controlling the robots from his box. The father and Arvo have a hard time seeing what they doing, since it is dusk and there are a lot of trees in the way. It doesn't seem like the strange visitors have seen them and Arvo and his father are starting to get a little scared now and carefully sneak away and then quickly head home.

Arvo and his father only thought robots existed in books and movies, but here they were in front of them. (artistic impression)

The next day the Red Army crosses the Finnish border and the country is at war with the Soviet Union. The Winter War has begun. But despite this, Arvo still wants to go back to the place where they saw the craft and the strange creatures. His father protests and forbids it, but Arvo goes there anyway. At the landing site, he discovers triangular marks from the craft's legs and a disgusting, unpleasant smell lingers in the area.

This strange story was reported to Finnish UFO investigators many years later, which you notice when they are talking about Astronaut suits, which didn’t exits 1939.

The waving humanoids in the spaceship.

Cape Zealand, Denmark, January 18 1967.

This detailed observation was made by children, two boys, Tage 9 years old and Jesper 7 years. But mostly it was Jesper who saw the whole course of events. It was a winter day in January in the afternoon at 4.40 pm and Jesper was outside playing, together with his little sister aged 4 and the neighbor's boy Tage. Jesper looked after his sister when the parents were not at home. The family lived on a farm at the tip of Cape Zealand and next to a minor road that was never very busy. The children were playing on a pile of hay that was next to the road. From the mound they had a good view over the road and down towards the sea that lay between Denmark and Sweden (Kattegatt). This day it was chilly and with a light wind from the west. The clouds were at about 275-300 m (900 feet). Visibility was relatively good and the temperature about 1 °C (33.8 F). There was also no snow on the ground despite the time of year, as it was near the sea.

When it began to get dark, Tage wanted go home. But just about then he looked up into the sky out at the sea and caught sight of a dark-grey object. It had irregular contours and a downward-curving "tail" (A). Tage was frightened by what he saw and shouted to the other children: "Watch out, there's a tornado coming! It is dangerous!” and then he ran home. The little sister was also frightened and ran inside. Jesper, on the other hand, was not afraid, but he hid in a ditch next to the road just to be safe. From there he had good visibility. He now followed the object and it traveled in the same direction east to west out over Kattegat. The object had now come closer and taken a different shape. It now looked more like a dark sphere with a luminous corona around it. Jesper could also see two yellow beams of light coming from the underside and which were angled outwards. The light beams were also abruptly interrupted in a strange way, and not like a normal light that fades out. (B)

At first the object looked like a dark ball with a tail. (source: UFO-Nyt)

The object had now also come down at a lower altitude. Suddenly it turned almost 90 degrees towards Jesper and came in from the sea and headed for a small hill which is behind Tages parents house. Now Jesper could make out more of the object and began to see that it resembled a strange craft. It had an orange, faint glow around it and in the middle it had a kind of long oblong window and the strange beams of light came from each side of it. The light rays had now taken on a more blue-green color. The window looked like it was made of glass and there was a blue light coming from it, but it was impossible to see through. On both sides the craft had a lot of strange antennae of different shapes. On one side the antennae protruded further than on the other side and had a yellow ball. The boy thought they looked similar to TV antennas that you have on top of houses. (C)

When it got a little closer the object changed shape. (source: UFO-Nyt)

As the craft got closer, three legs were lowered from its underside and it almost looked like it was going to land, but when it was a meter above the ground, the legs went in and the craft continued upwards a little. It now also swung and steered out to sea again at a low altitude. All the while the craft wobbled a little in a strange way. But when it came across the beach, something strange happened. A black substance came out from the underside of the craft down over the beach.

Close up the boy could now see that it looked like a craft. (Source: UFO-Nyt)

Over the beach or if it was a short distance out over the water, the craft now made a sharp turn. At the same time, a kind of square metal basket was lowered from the underside. It appeared to be suspended by a thick, heavy-duty cable or metal stay, and the basket did not sway during the maneuvers of the craft. When the basket was down, a hatch was opened at the bottom of the craft and eight "people" climbed down from the cable/stay. First came one, then came the rest, and they quickly climbed down into the basket, two by two. The object had now completed its 180 degree turn and was heading straight for the ditch where Jesper was. Some of the "people" bent down and picked up something from the bottom of the basket. When they got up again, they had something like binoculars or cameras in their hands, and when they got closer to where Jesper was hiding, the "people" looked at him with these devices. When they were almost at the yard where Jesper lived, he could see them clearly and he saw that they were smiling and that they were making a sideways motion with their hand back and forth that looked like a wave to him. Jesper didn't wave back, but just nodded to them. The boy was not afraid during the incident "because they looked so kind and friendly", he later told his mother.

A steel basket was lowered and "people" climed down from the craft. (Source: Hiddenmark)

When the craft passed with the basket about 1 meter (3 feet) above the ground, hardly any sound was heard. Just a slight electrical buzz, ...

Hi all,

So I'm your friendly local IT System Engineer who specializes in security- but can run the whole stack. I've held the title of System Engineer, Senior Systems Engineer, IT Director, or Security Auditor since 1996.

As part of my job (and hobby!) I regularly go onto the dark web (i2p, TOR, Freenet) and sit in chat rooms, monitor websites (eepsites and onion sites), and look at the files available in multiple distributed mechanisms available.

I've even automated scripts that poll some of this data periodically so I can suck it into a database for analysis.

Over the last 6 months or so I've more or less monitored for AUP information on these various encrypted overlays.

I am amazed at the lack of leaked documents regarding this issue on the darknet.

A primary source, postman's BitTorrent tracker (i2p), has one live torrent of "The Lost Century" film. And nothing else. BitTorrent DHT in i2p does not show any torrents with any "leaks" regarding AUP or Aliens.

Over on Tor many search engines report UFO information- but mostly conspiracy level material.

Over the last 10 years it appears that almost nothing has been leaked to the dark web regarding our favorite subject..

So here's my question: Wouldn't encrypted overlay networks be the first place to leak something concrete about AUP/UFO/Alien(s)?

Even Snowdon's docs are floating around on those networks- and that was a real security leak for the USA government.

There is a disparity in this situation: I can find all kinds of leaked documents about a mass number of subjects. But not Aliens?

I've noticed that after the daily show interview, a lot of new people went to social media wanting to get engaged and learn more. The daily show seem to have struck a wider audience, and now I'm thinking, he should go on Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert and my personal favorite, Seth Meyers.

Still early to tell, but I think these talk show interviews are doing better than news channel interviews.

I was thinking discovering an intelligent alien species could lead to a significant shift in how we mark time, possibly prompting a new era. Just as the birth of Christ marked the transition from BC (Before Christ) to AD (Anno Domini), I think an event like making contact with extraterrestrial intelligence could be seen as a major turning point in human history. A new era name might reflect this encounter, such as "AE" (After Extraterrestrials) or "AI" (After Intelligence). It would likely be something that emphasizes the change in human understanding and the start of a new global or even interplanetary relationship.

Okay so it's my first time watching this movie. Forgot it even existed. Got the login to the Hulu again and wanted to watch a horror movie, came across this and decided to watch it. Now let me say for reference I've only watched the original one, MAYBE Resurrection and I've seen Alien vs Predators Requiem and that's it. Really not a huge fan of the series. When I watched the films before I always expected it to be more scary than what it was but I respected it for being a cult film.

The original one was pretty scary with some parts but honestly I think The Thing was scarier, especially the old Xbox game. I love the idea of Alien though and I love the design behind it. And it was the predominant alien horror that revolutionized that genre.

I won't talk about the originals. I won't talk about the other more modern ones like Prometheus (should have watched that before Covenant since it was derived from that) or the new one Romulus because I haven't seen any of them yet. However I'ma make a few points on this Covenant one.

It's an interesting movie. I really expected scarier. If I knew it lacked this much horror and was this cliche I probably would have chosen something else to watch. Was it a horrible movie? No. It was entertaining. The storyline seemed rushed. None of the characters really had a lot of dynamic/personality. The robot guy had me genuinely confused (again, should have watched Prometheus before but I ended up understanding what was going on the more I watched it). The Aliens were limited and when they were on screen I never really had much feelings towards them. It seemed they put a lot of scenes in for the times (like the random unnecessary sx scene in the shower between two people we didn't really know, the cringe "I'm putting in a protest" claim the protagonist made, just to name a few.

What really got me was the fact they're supposed to be hard trained people, I mean you're essentially intergalactic warriors, and you know all the previous Alien stories that happened in your universe, and they acted as sloppily as they did. Even National Guard would have had a better go and they aren't even combat trained to the highest military extent.

James Franco was random as hell for the small part he had, and I guess it makes sense why Danny McBride is in the movie.

The ending has me confused. Like I understand but I don't understand. I'ma have to Google into this one.

I'm glad I didn't spend money at the theater for it, even though it would have probably been better than my home TV. Either way it was an entertaining movie but there really wasn't a lot of substance there. Would I watch it again? Maybe. Would I rather watch a different Aliens movie before I do? Definitely. I know I'm a few years late. It came out in 2017. It's 2024. But whatever.

The aliens really weren't scary, the story just seemed re-vised and re-used, the acting was decent but could have been better, there's really not a lot of memorable scenes. I was excited after seeing the 6/10 (better than 4, etc) rating on Google about it. The newest one has a 7.2 rating. Hmm.

Anyway, what y'all think about this movie? I'm not a huge fan but it is what it is. I've seen worse, I've seen better.

Original Title: [Serious] Let's ASSUME the 2027 narrative, which essentially comes from within the US government, is true. WHO do you think is showing up? Will it be the Mantis/Reptillians with their army of Small Greys? Perhaps a more benevolent species? Maybe a mixed bag (Intergalactic Council)?

Curious as to what the community thinks will be the outcome, should the 2027 prediction come to pass. Will it be a malevolent or benevolent interaction with NHI? Perhaps it will be transformative as a species.

It's unsettling to think about governments keeping secrets from the public, with narratives like "They're here now," "They'll be here in 2027," "It's worse than you can imagine," and "It's a prison planet." But what about positive thinking? Could there be any good outcomes if non-human intelligence (NHI) is disclosed?

Here are a few that come to mind.

1. Technological Advancements
2. Scientific Knowledge
3. Global Unity
4. Philosophical and Spiritual Growth

If it was straight dooms day, I feel like the delivery of this stuff would be a lot more bleak but the people who have been talking - Grusch, Elizondo, and even Tom Delonge over the past couple years have not given off “end of world” vibes, but rather “mind will be blown” vibes.

If NHI visited Egypt and Sumeria centuries ago, and helped them advance, shouldn’t we try to think about how we can benefit from such a contact again?

So who’s thinking of the positive side of things?

What are your thoughts?

Disclaimer: I haven’t read The Three-Body Problem novel, but I did watch the Netflix show, which basically makes me an expert, right? So if I’ve gotten something hilariously wrong or if you’ve spotted any wild connections I missed, feel free to jump in and give me the ol’ “Actually...” treatment.

First off, this isn’t me trying to start some fear-pocalypse. Let’s keep this a chill, fun discussion—or at least as fun as discussing potentially mind-bending, reality-breaking events can be. Because, honestly, the stuff happening around us right now is freakishly similar to the plot of the show. Could we be in the middle of a slow, strategic "drip campaign," getting humanity ready for something huge? You know, the kind of thing that makes you wonder if it’s time to invest in a bunker.

The Uncanny Relevance of The Three-Body Problem

For those not in the know, The Three-Body Problem is a wild ride where humanity discovers an advanced alien civilization—the Trisolarans—living in a star system so unstable, it makes my emotional state look rock solid. But here’s where it gets spicy: the Trisolarans have been sneakily pulling strings on Earth, manipulating humanity long before their RSVP to the invasion party. Governments? Totally in on it. They’re slow-dripping information, trying not to send everyone into full-blown freak-out mode while we wrestle with existential threats like, "Should I get a bunker or watch the new season of Love Is Blind UK?"

James Webb's Mysterious Discoveries

So, there’s some serious buzz right now that the James Webb Space Telescope might’ve found something big. Big enough to prompt a private briefing to Congress. We’re talking potential techno-signatures—like “city lights” on a planet 4.9 light-years away. Oh, and there's also chatter about an object out there making course corrections, which is the universal sign for, "Hey, we're not just space debris."

The Sudden Surge Toward AGI—Preparation for Something Bigger?

Leopold Aschenbrenner from OpenAI thinks AGI by 2027 is “strikingly plausible” (which sounds suspiciously like “buckle up”). Meanwhile, Jensen Huang from Nvidia casually drops that AI is now designing new AI at a pace of “Moore’s Law squared,” like that’s not the most terrifyingly cool thing you’ve ever heard.

It just doesn’t feel like we’re just trying to build smarter machines. Maybe—just maybe—we’re getting ready for something else. The timing’s a little too coincidental, don’t you think? The same year AGI might come online is the same year we keep hearing whispers about potential disclosure? I mean, what are the odds? Is 2027 just the year everything levels up—AI, aliens, and my inability to process it all?

Are Hidden Forces Slowing Down Scientific Progress? (Or Is Science Just Stuck in a Really Long Traffic Jam?)

In The Three-Body Problem, the Trisolarans—an alien race chilling out 4.37 light-years away in the Alpha Centauri system—catch wind of Earth and decide to invade. But here’s the catch: even with their advanced tech, they can't travel faster than light. So, it’s going to take them about 450 years to get here. That’s right, we’ve got almost half a millennium to prepare. Now, the Trisolarans’ big worry? That humanity will advance so much in those centuries that by the time they roll up, we’ll be way ahead of them, zipping around in quantum spaceships while they’re still stuck with sub-light drives. To keep this from happening, they send over sophons—AI-powered particles designed to sabotage our scientific progress, specifically in fundamental physics, and keep us from reaching their level by the time they arrive.

So while their fleet is en route, we’re stuck in a bit of a scientific chokehold. But instead of throwing in the towel, humanity pivots. We start pushing forward in other areas—space engineering, AI, mechanical systems—the stuff the sophons can’t mess with. The novel’s all about this long, 450-year waiting game, where we’re prepping for an inevitable invasion while trying to outsmart the cosmic curveball we’ve been thrown.

Now, if you really want to get speculative, could something like this be happening in our world? Think about it: since 1973, we’ve been stuck in particle physics while other areas—like AI and tech—are advancing at a breakneck pace. Even Eric Weinstein on The Joe Rogan Podcast has pointed out how fundamental physics has stalled, despite decades of work on theories like string theory. Maybe it’s just a coincidence. Or maybe, like in The Three-Body Problem, there’s some hidden force—our own modern-day "sophons"—holding us back, quietly hitting the brakes on scientific breakthroughs while we unknowingly prep for something bigger.

"The Collins Elite" and Their Role in Shaping Disclosure

In The Three-Body Problem, some humans, completely freaked out by the idea of getting wiped out by the Trisolarans, think their best move is to team up with the aliens. Enter the Earth-Trisolaris Organization (ETO)—a group convinced that surrendering to an advanced civilization is humanity’s only shot at survival. Of course, the Trisolarans see these collaborators as expendable pawns.

Now, shift to real life: ever heard of The Collins Elite? According to Nick Redfern’s book Final Events and whispers from guys like Ross Coulthart and Lou Elizondo, the Collins Elite is this ultra-secretive group within the U.S. government that believes alien phenomena aren’t just aliens—they’re demonic. That’s right, these guys are convinced we’re not just dealing with little green men but literal forces of darkness. And their job? Block any public disclosure of this terrifying info.

It’s kind of like the ETO in The Three-Body Problem, where different factions have their own wild ideas about aliens. But if groups like the Collins Elite are real, and they’re operating behind closed doors with their own hidden agendas, what else could be happening behind the scenes? Secret factions? Private entities with their own motives? Maybe even deals being made with extraterrestrial beings?

This could explain why some fields of science—like particle physics—have felt stagnant since the 1970s, while AI is advancing like they’ve got a cheat code. Maybe, just maybe, certain groups are steering the scientific ship, funneling resources into areas they can control or profit from, while quietly suppressing discoveries that could trigger existential chaos. It’s like those modern-day “sophons” from The Three-Body Problem—keeping humanity’s most dangerous ideas locked away while they play a long game for control.

But here’s a question that’ll keep you up at night: If the Collins Elite thinks UFOs are demonic, then where are the angels? Shouldn’t we be teaming up with the good guys? I mean, if we’re diving headfirst into the supernatural, why not place our bets on the winged heroes? It’s like we’re stuck in the weirdest reality show ever—one we didn’t exactly sign up for but can’t stop watching.

First of all, my mind is blown. I’ve always been in the camp of “we’re obviously not alone in this gigantic universe of ours,” but I’m very ignorant of the actual evidence of extraterrestrial life. I have two main requests of people who are more familiar with this topic than i am:

1. What are some of the best sources on this topic? I’d love to get some documentary/article/book recommendations.
2. What are some theories of the intentions of aliens? Do we have any evidence that supports either a malevolent or benevolent intent?

I appreciate any information! Thank you!!
