Is There An Alien Strategy? By Jim Deardorff
Looking at the evidence thus far.
After 55 years of continued UFO reports indicating a wide range of UFO/
alien behavior, the question must arise as to whether or not the UFO
occupants, or aliens, are carrying out some sort of strategy directed
at us. And if so, what kind of strategy?
According to Elaine Douglass, for example, it is evident they are
participating in maintaining the UFO cover-up. That this is the case
follows from the fact that never, in hundreds of thousands of
sightings and large numbers of abductions, have they stayed around
long enough for the news media of the developed world to converge upon
the scene, and never have they left sufficient evidence behind to
satisfy scientists who value their professional reputations.
That this could be the result of random behavior seems entirely
implausible, given the reality of the UFO phenomenon. This then must
be one element of an alien strategy.
A prime factum is the oft-noted feature that during this extended
period of time, and during past millennia as well, they have not wiped
us out, enslaved us, or taken over the planet despite in all
probability possessing the capability of doing so. From this it is
usually concluded that the aliens involved are non-hostile, at least
to society as a whole. This lets us know that their strategy does not
entail outright hostility.
Now, many of us are aware from science fiction, in particular Star
Trek, that advanced, exploring ETs (in that case, us) may obey a
“prime directive” in regards to less advanced alien beings of other
planets. The intent of the directive is that the advanced beings not
disrupt the developing civilization of the lesser advanced beings who
are not yet aware of life outside their planet.
Interestingly, papers have appeared in the peer-reviewed scientific
literature that incorporate this thought The researchers allow that
exploration, rather than, exploitive colonization, could be a likely
behavior of advanced aliens, who may be treating us as if in a zoo, a
nursery, or carrying out a quarantine or embargo against Earth until
we are better prepared for contact.
This theme has, for example, been accepted as a possibility by Newman
& Sagan, who referred to such ethical guidelines as a Codex Galactica.
They also wrote, “Some subset of moderately advanced civilizations may
be engaged in the exploration and colonization of other planetary
systems; however, their mere existence makes it highly likely that
their intentions are benign and their sensitivities at our level of
technological adolescence delicate.”
However, a total embargo or hands-off strategy of Earth as part of an
alien strategy would be self-defeating, in that when the time came
when overt alien contact could no longer be delayed or prevented, the
shock of sudden confrontation with a superior civilization would still
be devastating to our society. Thus a “leaky embargo” strategy has
been proposed. The UFO phenomenon constitutes the “leak in the
embargo,” serving the purpose of conditioning society for eventual
alien contact.
This conditioning appears to be a prolonged educational process
directed mainly towards those who are inquisitive and open to the
possibility of an alien presence. It is then left up to the latter,
plus the eyewitnesses themselves, who are typically found to be one
person in 12 or 15, to try to persuade the rest of society of the
reality of the UFO/alien presence.
UFO sightings not only enlighten those who can accept it, but provide
them with significant information as to the aliens’ level of
technology-the capability of their craft to withstand tremendous
accelerations, hover without making noise, travel at large supersonic
speeds without producing sonic booms, disappear suddenly or become
invisible, change shape, etc.
The educational aspect
Encounters with the aliens themselves have further educated us on
their psychic abilities, communication via some form of mental
telepathy, ability to block out memories or provide screen memories
within their abductees’ minds, etc. By comparison, another purpose of
the strategy, then, is evidently to cause us to recognize our own
lowly place within the hierarchy of intelligent life forms in the
cosmos.
Most interesting is that even the aliens who carry out the abductions
and animal mutilations, plus those who engage in less traumatic
contacts, abide by the same strategic guideline as followed by the
aliens who provide “ordinary” UFO sightings: they do not leave
sufficient evidence behind that would force unwilling skeptics to
believe what is unthinkable to them. If this were not true, science
would have caught on to the reality of the UFO phenomenon, including
abductions, years ago.
Hence, the aliens engaged in the abduction phenomenon and animal
mutilations cannot be considered totally independent of whichever
alien group may be in charge of overseeing the strategy by which they
all abide.
It may be noticed that although these deductions indicate that the
aliens involved can wield great power and advanced technology, they no
longer need be treated as gods/goddesses, now that science and
astronomy have carried us to the point where we can appreciate the
likelihood of the aliens’ extraterrestrial origins and how their
advanced capabilities should seem like magic to us.
The fact that the aliens in charge have not protected us from our own
follies and wars has not prevented traumatic abductions from occurring-
and have sometimes caused physical ailments in close-encounter
witnesses should further deter us from calling them gods or equating
them with true God, the Universal Consciousness (assuming such
exists). On the other hand, the counterbalancing benign or favorable
aspects of the UFO phenomenon as discussed above, which include
healings of some abductees’ and witnesses’ physical problems, and
imparting an increased psychic and spiritual awareness to others,
suggest we should follow a middle path regarding alien ethical levels,
treating them as neither angels nor demons.
Though it may be more speculative, I therefore view this aspect
considering them on the whole as neither gods nor evil enemies, but
entities rather like us except for their great headstart over us-as
another element of the strategy the aliens in charge wish to put
across to us.
This, along with the variety of reported alien types and behaviors,
suggests that we will need to consider each future alien encounter on
its own merits, as common sense would dictate, while keeping in mind
what the UFO phenomenon of the past several decades has taught us.
Because of the variety of alien types, I have frequently referred to
“aliens in charge” in connection with implementation of the alien
strategy.
Other aspects of the strategy
A disproportionate number of UFO sightings have occurred at nuclear
missile silos and over nuclear power plants, and in the former case,
nuclear missiles have even been remotely disarmed by the UFO. This
strongly suggests that another element of the alien strategy is to
discourage the use of nuclear weapons and nuclear power as well.
A key topic that aliens communicate to their UFO experiencers is the
grave danger of Earth and its environment becoming unlivable through
human destructiveness carelessness, hatred, and greed. Emphasis of
this concern then appears to be another facet of the alien strategy,
probably because it is indeed of paramount importance.
On a less pessimistic note, their concern that we mend our ways
suggests that they believe the future is not a fixed inevitability.
This in turn suggests that the aliens, for the most part at least, are
not time travelers from Earth’s own future, tampering with a history
assumed to be fluid and changeable.
As mentioned at the beginning, an important part of the strategy is
that the aliens maintain the UFO cover-up at the same time as they
covertly disclose their presence to selected witnesses and
experiencers. There are a variety of means by which they can
accomplish this. They can purposely locate and time many of their UFO
sightings to occur within an hour or two of a scientifically
explainable event, such as a bright meteorite, an earthquake, a
volcanic eruption, or reentry of satellite debris.
Then, although most witnesses will be astounded by the remarkable, non-
explainable aspects of their sighting, non-witnesses may ignore these
features of a UFO report if they wish and assume the event was the
nearby scientifically explainable one, which it in some way resembled.
Also, the aliens may exhibit a UFO craft that in some ways resembles a
man-made or natural object, such as an airplane, helicopter, large
balloon or even a cloud.
The eyewitnesses will notice the eerie differences, such as not giving
off any sound, not having wings or not using “navigational” lights of
proper placement and color, in the case of aircraft, and not moving
with the wind like any balloon or cloud does; however, the non-
witnesses who read of the report may ignore such details and assume
the witnesses were mistaken.
The aliens may also communicate some disinformation, contradictory
thoughts, or silly science to their abductees and contactees, who,
when they report it, can get accused by scientists of having invented
their stories, and be ridiculed. The aliens’ “magical” technology and
apparent intelligence thus permits them to stay several jumps ahead of
our scientists and ufologists alike, though at the personal expense of
some UFO experiencers.
Future outlook
It may be that the aliens are patiently waiting for us to realize
these facets of their strategy, which may seem so obvious in
hindsight, and are waiting for us to convince our fellow man,
especially those in position of authority, before making their first
overt contact with humanity.
The alternative scenario is that the aliens will make their presence
known worldwide soon after some devastating global disasters, either
natural or of mankind’s making, have caused our civilization to
collapse, in which case they need no longer fear that it would be
their own overt presence that would produce the same reaction.
It is true that we cannot know all, or even much, of what’s in the
minds of the aliens who are involved in the UFO phenomenon. However,
this should not deter us from making logical sense out of the
information they have chosen to impart to us during the past 55 years
of UFO sightings and encounters.
Having a handle on what the alien behavior is all about, and their
implementation of a consistent though complex strategy, should help to
make the UFO topic less unpalatable to professional scientists, who
don’t like to study what doesn’t make sense to them, and who are the
linchpins in the maintenance of the UFO cover-up.

“Little Green Man” added:
It’s a sad fact that debunkers are people who have become comfortably
settled with a mindset. They are deeply unwilling to admit that there
might be something wrong with their position. If small facts like
public sightings of UFO’s contradict their mindset, they tend to
ignore them. If the contradictory facts grow larger, as with Aviation
and Police reports, they become distressed and angry. They are totally
unaware that there is anything unreasonable about this reaction.
Science is a method of investigating the universe. Any good
investigator begins by trying take his bearings. He attempts to form a
mental map of the kind of universe he thinks he is investigating.
(Ptolemy’s map showed the earth at the center of the universe and the
stars and planets all revolving around it). This mental map is called
a “paradigm”.
Looking at the history of science, we see that paradigms are always
being scrapped and replaced by new ones Scientists seem to hate to
abandon their old paradigms, and cling to them as long as possible,
ignoring or dismissing new evidence that is pushing them into
reconsidering. So it is with debunkers. We all have a need to believe
that the universe is a stable and orderly place. We tend to ignore
things that upset our basic sense of “normality” or try to forget them
as quickly as possible. This is not so much choice, as a subconscious
mechanism. We just have to recognize that different people can stand
different degrees of uncertainty. Acknowledgement of extra-terrestrial
life, and recognition of an alien strategy is always going to be
unpalatable to many people.
Without studies and serious discussions concerning UFOs and like
phenomena we can never hope to begin to produce a paradigm that will
satisfy most skeptics. There will always be a core of people who
refuse to abandon their secure view of the world. We must continue to
build a strategy, which can deal with contact with extra-terrestrials,
just as extra-terrestrials will almost certainly have adopted a
strategy to attempt to deal with us on our war-torn, starvation ridden
and divided planet.
