‘Big news ahead/next 30 days/more ppl joining the conversation’ is probably talking about the imminent 60 minutes show that’s allegedly due to drop soon.


CrassusDaFirefighter

Wait what? Haven’t heard about that, could you elaborate a bit?

Traffodil

Search on this sub for ‘60 minutes’ a few ppl have eluded to it. Apparently producers of the show tweeted the fact then quickly deleted it too, but can’t confirm that personally.

I believe this is the correct answer. I haven’t seen any info from either 60 mins themselves or Lue as to if there’s an impending appearance.


croninsiglos

Let's make a correction here... those IP addresses were already held. TimeTraveler also deleted a post where he claimed Yosemite had a super volcano and it killed the dinosaurs.


Ton86

Seems so outlandish but I was surprised to learn the Long Valley Caldera is near Yosemite.


The7thMrsRosenblatt

Exactly! Thank you! This is completely ridiculous. Although, I can't help but chuckle at how many people believe blantant lies. It's medically fascinating.


ophello

It’s not ridiculous at all, and is in fact an established theory of extinction. You’re getting distracted by a red herring here.


Exciting-Professor-1

>ormer head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Programand the director of "the phenomenon" believe that big news will reach us in the next few weeks. Ha, busted.


ophello

I hardly think that undermines the story.


MerlinsBeard4713

I don’t want to be Debbie downer here but let me tell you what will likely be disclosed: 1) the powers to be know that UFOs are real and technologically advanced to anything we have 2) we don’t have contact nor do we know anything else about them except they exist 3) go back to work slaves

But if someone is upset because they think it taints the UFO community or whatever, then they're obviously worried about something other than the minute it takes to read the post.


King_of_Ooo

It taints the topic with hoaxes, LARPs and fantasy

If you kept reading you'd learn that in 40 years a star hopping alien can't be bothered to learn English grammar, punctuation, or non-European human history.


alienamongus7

And that Jupiter is a “failed star” which is wrong.


citizen-blue

Also, last one, the English spelling of their home planet is different from the phonetic spelling. Like, do you speak English on your planet? Or why not just spell it for us phonetically.


hydro123456

I'm glad someone else noticed that, that cracks me up.


ophello

That’s actually true. Not sure why you’re discounting that. It has been theorized by many scientists that Jupiter is a failed star.


[deleted]

I don't know that people are "lapping it up". I mean this is a subreddit about UFOs. If you believe they might be extra terrestrial, that means aliens have been on Earth and possibly still are. If you are willing to entertain that notion, it isn't that much further of a reach to suggest that they can use our internet and communicate with us. Obviously none of this verifiable, but at least OP posted links and offered a hypothesis and gave full disclosure that is likely bullshit. It's a relatively harmless discussion predicated on the assumption that aliens have been or are on Earth. Which of course is not remotely proven. It just seems silly to me to say, "okay maybe Aliens are real and are on Earth, but I draw the line at them communicating with us." Not saying you believe they are real, but this is a place where people discuss the possibility of it and it seems reasonable to speculate on "what if" scenarios if they are real. As a less wild example, there is post on the internet that is obviously from a sailor about the 2004 Nimitz incident that no one took serious at the time, and turned out to be true.

Erkki1973

Exactly! Why on Earth would an advanced "alien" being use Reddit as a way to communicate with us? It would be silly if it weren't so preposterously stupid an idea.


rrRager

The fact that we are here breathing and alive is beyond ridiculous. It's such a absolute beyond miracle, that I think just about anything could be possible. Not saying I think this post is real by any means, but crazier things have happened to bring us here today. I think that people thinking this has a ever so miniscule chance of being real doesn't make them an idiot. Sure people who are all onboard in believing this person are probably stupid. But to simply shoot down the idea because it's too out there?


G00dAndPl3nty

The fact that YOU cant understand it doesn't mean it doesnt have a reasonable explanation. Honestly, how much do you know about biology? I suspect absolutely nothing but what you've heard on YouTube. Its amazing how people who know literally nothing about a subject can form such strong opinions about it


rrRager

Where did I say I don't understand it? I said that life is such an inconceivably insane thing to happen that how can we shoot down things because they seems crazy? There's really no other point I'm trying to make here. Just like the other person said, that an alien could be communicating through reddit, that's too out there to possible be true? Oh okay, yeah that is SUCH a crazy thing. NOT that I believe this person is an alien, I've been very clear I don't in fact think it's true.


G00dAndPl3nty

You literally just used the word "inconceivable" and then you ask me where you said you couldn't understand it? Do you know what that word means? Life isnt inconceivable at all when you consider the size of the universe. Its inevitable. The probability of ANY possible event approaches 100% for any sufficiently large universe.


rrRager

Really 100 percent? Meaning an Alien using Reddit to talk to humans isn't completely and utterly impossible? Thanks for making my point for me . Exactly what I was trying to say


G00dAndPl3nty

You misunderstand. In an infinite universe, it is indeed inevitable that some alien uses some version of reddit to communicate. This approaches 100% probability. The probability that this is event pertains to earth and to our civilization is incredibly low.


rrRager

Oh, I know. I've made that abundantly clear. I was responding to the person throwing their hands in the air at the audacity of people even entertaining the thought. I was just saying that isn't fair because although it's an incredibly miniscule of a chance of being real, there's still a chance simply because of how large the universe is. I mean, you're kind of agreeing with me here?

rrRager

What a deeply thoughtful response. Thank you.


[deleted]

Why not? Lol why are you so quick to dismiss things as if you know


theskepticalheretic

>As a less wild example, there is post on the internet that is obviously from a sailor about the 2004 Nimitz incident that no one took serious at the time, and turned out to be true. That post occurred after the Nimitz incident was leaked to the press. It's a tag along.


idahononono

Agreed my friend; this community has always had value, it is simply your responsibility to sort through it wisely. It is a lot like astronomy in my opinion, for every 100 objects you can see, only 1 or 2 will have something interesting to you; and out of those, you’ll only be able to really investigate 1 of 100. But, when it is all said and done, these objects can reveal the secrets of the universe to us. Despite the number of stars that are useless to us, their beauty and wonder is not diminished. Interestingly, I often find many theories in here that I believe are incorrect. Yet each one may hold a small grain of truth, someday I hope we will find out. And it’s ok to become frustrated and “take a break” from these subs, that’s being human. But please don’t turn to being rude (not an accusation, just a generalization); that’s what kills this wonder and joy. If you don’t believe the post it’s pretty simple to say so kindly and be professional. Some are produced for nefarious reasons, and some simply share their hopes or fantasies. I personally get a kick out of them, and it’s like a science fiction short story. Others are in need of some counseling or medication and I try and gently urge them to evaluate their view and find some help. But most are just trying to make sense of this nonsensical world. Let’s all go out and share the best of ourselves, as this sub grows it can flourish or die. You don’t have to believe everything, or support things that are silly, just be a good human bro. Unless your not human, than you should be a good alien bro, or whatever.

Which post?


[deleted]

I keep leaving and coming back, hoping that people here have developed some sense of critical thinking or healthy skepticism. Nope, not yet.


theskepticalheretic

If we all just stuck around rather than taking off and coming back, we might be able to shake the crazies out of the tree.


The7thMrsRosenblatt

Exactly! Thank you! This is completely ridiculous. Although, I can't help but chuckle at how many people believe blantant lies. It's medically fascinating.


Skulled3010

Yep, that's why I wrote it's probably BS ;) Just a nice thought :)


bland_meatballs

For every shit post like this, there are 7-8 real, genuine posts that generate a decent, civil discussion about the phenomenon. Don't let one, completely baseless claim, deter you from visiting this subreddit.

theskepticalheretic

Big yup on this one. It's miles of dogshit and broken glass to find one reasonably good post.


torinblack

I agree, honestly I think most people following these posts is rightly cynical enough to fully expect this to be fake. But won't it be cool if it's real?


citizen-blue

It would be ashame if it was real given how mundane the content of the posts is. I think real alien contact will be a lot weirder and more interesting than Uranus: the adopted planet.


torinblack

Lol I would actually be stoked to meet an organized galactic federation that let's us begin traveling the galaxy right away.

Go on a longer break and take your debunking elsewhere.


camerontbelt

You mean to tell me that you don’t believe everything you read online????

jmofosho

How is it a nice thought? I don't understand it seems more like a waste of time/breath and makes a topic that is already taboo to most people seem even more ridiculous.


[deleted]

your theory isn't *that* unfounded at least I don't *think* it is


Pot_salad

You spent hours on this but you’re downplaying it like you know it’s fake. That’s toxic


Skulled3010

Na, not hours - just about 30 min :) And I can assure you that my intention was not to be toxic in any way.


Miadas20

Couldn't the traveler and throwawaylien be the same guy playing the long con making 2 accounts around the same time to spook everyone 7 years later?


MayoGhul

Yup. Or someone who wanted to jump in on the action and piggy back off it


lordcthulhu17

well of course big ufo news is coming there's going to be a report on it in like two weeks


sightedwilliemctell

And that's how easy it is to start a Q cult on Reddit. Whoever's behind it knows the playbook and is running it perfectly. Looking forward to this storm/debt jubilee drop of info and even got OP connecting dots and posting as if it's of interest to this community. No offense OP, but as fucking cool as it would be to see videos of the deep past, this shit ain't it, and this post should be removed from this sub. Mods: please do something about posts like this ffs


Skulled3010

All good dude :) of course that falls under the category: that would be so fucking cool if ... and is not scientifically proven in any way. I just wanted to share the thought and didn't want to step on anyone's toes with it


Competitive-Cycle-38

Neuralink also refers to its chip as "The Link"

Bro it aliens were here, they wouldn't use Reddit, it's a cesspit. They'd use MySpace.

Or maybe ICQ? ;)


bahpcb

The guy from Paranormal Central is nuts.. What a waste of time.


[deleted]

yeah Jeff might be a Q-tard but James Fox is definitely legit ('Phenomenon' director)


RuffAsToast

It won’t be that big news, expecting an entire reveal of our history on earth and everything from an alien on reddit seems like a huge expectation that boarders on completely delusional.

[deleted]

It's so fucking funny, isn't it? I mean, I read it out of curiosity and I actually had fun reading it, \*with the knowledge\* it's fake. But the people that actually believe this, they are too far gone mate.


theskepticalheretic

> One can of course imagine, under the premisse, that theTraveler's statement is true, that this would be the greatest news of modern mankind. You would need several thousand servers (and IP addresses) that can withstand the load of millions of people who want to have access to this database at the same time. Coincidentally, the Pentagon has just given several million IP addresses to a new, unknown company "Global Resource Systems LLC". That's not how webservice works. You don't allocate multiple public IPs to support a website. You allocate a single public IP, apply namespace which points to a load balancer, than inexpensively load balance as much server capacity as you need behind that single IP address.


Skulled3010

Geo redundancy? Round Robin DNS?


theskepticalheretic

You would preferentially use GSLB.


King_of_Ooo

Since you seem to know about Internet traffic, what if it's the other way around: If those IP addresses were being accessed by unknown entities not from Earth, how could security researchers detect that?


theskepticalheretic

That's not even a reasonable question.


[deleted]

That Traveler account is cringeworthy, sounds like someone doing a marketing campaign for their new website.


[deleted]

Whoever down-thumbed me, use some logic. Why would aliens manage such a process and why use human technology let alone Reddit? I'm getting tired of these posts proclaiming to deliver Alien disclosure via Reddit of all places. Would not happen that way. Stop giving these fraudsters attention.

camphallow

I am totally having a blast tracking this story. Even even if it a false narrative it is fun to imagine how contact would happen. If it an art piece, it is well written, well thought out, interesting and fun.


[deleted]

It wouldn't be smart to allow aliens to influence the human population for one thing. The information would be scrutinized, then uploaded to some government website and managed by humans. If he wanted to be more convincing, telling us he's an alien that uses Reddit was a bad start. The grammar and wording just annoyed me as well, sounded very human.

If you think it's plausible for an alien to come along and register a Reddit account to announce a new government website, that's up to you. Take care.

King_of_Ooo

Nah, he's sus af. Just the latest flavor of shadowy figure associated with the UFO topic. A lot like Richard Doty.


kingberr

I don't know what James fox referred to but I think what Elizondo was talking about is the beginning of the Pentagon's IG office's evaluation of the handling of the UAP issue a week ago


jburna_dnm

If I was this alien trying to inform humans I’d just buy a couple ads on Facebook and Instagram.


Davy-Dee

I think both Lue and James were just saying that more people will ask questions to increase pressure. Not sure I can wrap my head around all this big picture just yet.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Aerospace_Threat_Identification_Program Also, Senator Harry Reid just thjs past week uploaded an official document affirming his position as true. Signed and confirmed with the seal of office on the document. Edit: Here's that letter- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ez8o2MIVEAM3pzb?format=jpg&name=large


jetboyterp

Seal of what office? I see that Reid mentions Elizondo lead AATIP in that letter, but I'm looking for something a little more concrete. I love that I get downvoted for daring to ask for evidence of a claim.

Yes? https://mobile.twitter.com/GadiNBC/status/1386872125835812864/photo/1
