I wanted to post this for two reasons, one being to try to drive this community’s engagement up a little, and the other to grow my collection of books on the topic.

As much as I’d love to see this community as active as its Reddit counterpart, I would also like if it wasn’t as hostile as r/UFOs. So far on Lemmy, it’s been great to see that for the most part we are not all at each other’s throats.

Let’s talk about some books, y’all. What should I be reading?

    Thanks! Always love seeing your posts here and this isn’t an exception. I will add these to the list! I think I find the encounters the most fascinating as well because they hint toward potential motive. I personally believe we are past the point is it real or not, but still trying to understand why/how.

      Appreciate it. Yeah, there’s clearly enough substance to the phenomenon to know it’s real. Hopefully this year will be fruitful with the release of government documents as a result of what passed of the UAPDA. While I don’t expect targeted groups to fully comply, I do think we’ll see the release of enough cases to start confirming current theories.

      In the meantime, there is a ton of history for the public to sift through and countless theories on why. I try not to get too invested in any one line of thought and make sure to not discount anything for not matching my expectation of reality. When examining the unknown, it’s important to remember how little we know about the universe. In the end, I think it’ll come down to pieces of a range of different theories proving correct and forming the truth behind the phenomenon.
