Ufos Quotes

“Reality is, you know, the tip of an iceberg of irrationality that we've managed to drag ourselves up onto for a few panting moments before we slip back into the sea of the unreal.”
― Terence McKenna

“I guess I should say a little bit about my method - I really am a fence sitter. I *loathe* Science and am always keen to attack it in most situations, though not here, because I love Reason and I'm perfectly aware of the difference. I also know what a concept means like Rules of Evidence. I'm not sure that's a concept as widely circulated in these circles as it needs to be - in other words, how *do* you tell shit from shinola? That's very critical. I think reason can only take us a certain distance, and then we have to go with the divine imagination, but with all safety systems fully in operation, or the divine imagination will lead us into complete paranoia.”
― Terence McKenna

“Occasionally, I get a letter from someone who is in “contact” with extraterrestrials. I am invited to “ask them anything.” And so over the years I’ve prepared a little list of questions. The extraterrestrials are very advanced, remember. So I ask things like, “Please provide a short proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem.” Or the Goldbach Conjecture. And then I have to explain what these are, because extraterrestrials will not call it Fermat’s Last Theorem. So I write out the simple equation with the exponents. I never get an answer. On the other hand, if I ask something like “Should we be good?” I almost always get an answer.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“Even if the aliens are short, dour, and sexually obsessed—if they’re here, I want to know about them.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“If you cross an onion with a UFO, what you get is a flying saucer that brings tears to your eyes.”
― Terence McKenna

“Just as there are those who accept every UFO report at face value, there are also those who dismiss the idea of alien visitation out of hand and with great passion. It is, they say, unnecessary to examine the evidence, and “unscientific” even to contemplate the issue. I once helped to organize a public debate at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science between proponent and opponent scientists of the proposition that some UFOs were spaceships; whereupon a distinguished physicist, whose judgment in many other matters I respected, threatened to sic the Vice President of the United States on me if I persisted in this madness. (Nevertheless, the debate was held and published, the issues were a little better clarified, and I did not hear from Spiro T. Agnew.)”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“After misapprehended natural events and hoaxes and psychological aberrations are removed from the data set, is there any residue of very credible but extremely bizarre cases, especially ones supported by physical evidence? Is there a "signal" hiding in all that noise? In my view, no signal has been detected. There are reliably reported cases that are unexotic, and exotic cases that are unreliable. There are no cases - despite well over a million UFO reports since 1947 - in which something so strange that it could only be an extraterrestrial spacecraft is reported so reliably that misapprehension, hoax, or hallucination can be reliably excluded.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“You participate in the definitions of reality that you are given, but you are not yet aware of it.”
― Yossi Ronen, ONE: Face-to-Face Contact, Experiencing ET Consciousness, and Human Consciousness Evolution

“In the space beyond the other side of the tunnel, all the various possibilities exist together as ONE.”
― Yossi Ronen, ONE: Face-to-Face Contact, Experiencing ET Consciousness, and Human Consciousness Evolution

“I often am asked, ''Do you believe in UFOs?'' I'm always struck by how the question is phrased, the suggestion that this is a matter of belief and not of evidence. I'm almost never asked, ''How good is the evidence that UFOs are alien spaceships?”
― Carl Sagan

“The UFO abduction syndrom portrays, it seems to me, a banal Universe. The form of the supposed aliens is marked by a failure of the imagination and a preoccupation with human concerns. Not a single being presented in all these accounts is as astonishing as a cockatoo would be if you had never before beheld a bird.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“To think that there are no primitive or intelligent life forms outside the world means to have never grasped the ability of this universe we live in to make what happens in one place possible in another!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“If the phenomenon is forcing us through a learning curve then it MUST mislead us. When Skinner designs a machine that feeds a rat only when the right lever is depressed, this is extremely misleading for the rat! But if the rat doesn’t do it he becomes extremely hungry. Man is hungry for knowledge and power, and if there is an intelligence behind the UFOs it must have taken this fact into account. We also tend to forget that we have no choice. We must eventually study UFOs.”
― Jacques F. Vallée, The Invisible College

“Yet, of all the people I have had approach me or e-mail me to say they have seen a UFO, not one has been an amateur astronomer. As a matter of fact, I have never heard about any amateur astronomers seeing something in the sky they absolutely could not explain. Yet they spend far more time looking at the sky than lay people and statistically should see far more UFOs! How can this be?

Easy. Remember, the amateur astronomers study the sky. They know what's in it and what to expect. When they see a meteor, or Venus, or sunlight glinting off the solar panel of a satellite, they know it's not an alien spaceship. Amateur astronomers know better and, in fact, all the amateurs to whom I have spoken about this are very skeptical about UFOs being alien spaceships. This is a very strong argument that there are mundane explanations for the vast majority of UFO sightings.”
― Philip Plait, Bad Astronomy

“Inexplicable by Stewart Stafford

I ran into Bigfoot,
Or John Paul Yeti,
Told me of aliens,
Found by SETI.

E.T.s kidnapped me,
And I lost two hours,
Hurts to sit down now,
They never sent flowers.

Nessie gives the hump,
Or is it a boat’s wake?
So proud to be Scottish,
Bagpipes in the loch/lake.

“If aliens do not exist in this universe, then you do not exist in this universe as well! If you exist in this universe, then aliens exist in this universe too! The huge universe that created you also created aliens, it's that simple!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“So, to the open-minded, the controversy is settled-UFOS exist. Although it remains unclear whether they represent travelers from another solar or star system, another dimension, or another time line, they most certainly represent yet another part of our reality. And the sooner the human race comes to deal with this fact, the better. The question now becomes, "Who occupies UFOs and why are they here?" And even more importantly, "What are we going to do about this new reality?" It is this question that is addressed in this book.”
― Richard M. Dolan

“One can point to countless Sasquatches and their morphological kin, ghosts by the bushel, and aliens by the mothership load, but Gef existed just this once.”
― Thomm Quackenbush, The Curious Case of the Talking Mongoose

“The role of science should be to investigate the unexplained, not explain the uninvestigated.”
― Stephen Rorke

“We exist in this universe because it was possible for us to exist, otherwise we could not exist! It was possibleness that transformed us into reality! Aliens exist in this universe because it was possible for them to exist, just as it was possible for us to exist. Possibleness transformed aliens from a mere possibility to reality, just as it transformed us from a mere possibility to reality!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Is there life on earth? Yes there is! Are there special molecules that create life on Earth that do not exist in the universe? No there's not! The materials that are here are also in the universe, the materials that are in the universe are also here! Conclusion: There is life on Earth, and there is life in the universe! Forget the question of whether there is life in the universe; now look for the answer to how we will meet these extraterrestrial beings!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“These beings don’t just show up in the sky—they show up in your mind, your dreams, your synchronicities. They interact through modality, not just materiality.”
― Desta Barnabe, Contact Modalities: The Keys to the Universe

“If one day an advanced alien civilization visits Earth and wants to give us scientific knowledge that will leap us forward in time, I hope they don't ask the question ‘Do they deserve it?’ because their answer will be no!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“In the year 3017, the human empire has made first contact with another intelligent lifeform. A consular ship has been sent to open communications along with some technological, scientific, and historical information exchange through the ship's system. The human ambassadors would like to learn as much
information about their alien delegation without giving away too much of their own nature, biology, or defense capabilities. They want to appear friendly, open, and strong without anything to hide. At this point, the humans are unsure whether the aliens are a terrible danger or a unique opportunity.

What kind of system access control model should be given to the aliens?

A. Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
B. Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
C. Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)
D. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)”

“The greatest secrets are hidden not in vaults, but in what we're taught is impossible”
― Jon Majerowski, Contact and Control: UFOs, DNA, and the Hidden War on Human Potential

“The arrogant side of humankind doesn't want to see UFOs because it wants to believe that it is the only privileged, intelligent being in the universe! The malevolent side of humankind doesn't want to see UFOs because it believes that the evil and violent tendencies within itself are also present in those coming from the outside world! So which side of humankind wants to see UFOs? The scientific side and the adventurous side! The scientific side is the one that knows we cannot be alone in the universe and desires an external force that can support us in our struggle for existence against the universe; the adventurous side is the one that desires a new story, a new thrill!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“There is an uncanny power in words that appear to issue from a superhuman source, and it would be dangerous to assume that this power cannot still move the world today. It is manifested around us in the charismatic movement, in hundreds of occult groups of one kind or another, and in many UFO-related writings such as those inspired by SPECTRA, AFFA, and others we will investigate. This material is variously received as a manifestation from God, as a sign of lunacy, or as a dangerous form of social deviance. Most often, the words of the “entity,” whether it claims to be of a space origin or to represent some dead person like “Aunt Martha” does nothing more than borrow words and expressions that exist as thoughts, possibly unconsciously, in the minds of the persons who attend the meeting. For this reason, exposure to such phenomena is hazardous to psychic health!”
― Jacques F. Vallée, The Invisible College

“This is another reminder that one cannot understand the UFO phenomenon without taking into consideration all of its possible symbolic ramifications, no matter how seemingly remote from our technological reality. But the story of UMMO teaches us much more, as we slowly unravel the relationship between the reality of our beliefs and what we like to call the “objective” reality of our physics. The fact is that the beliefs of humanity can be manipulated both by physical and symbolic means. Certainly this is one of the objectives of UMMO, whether it is a prankish game, a psycho-sociological test or a sinister plot. But UMMO is only a small part of the total phenomenon, and the time has clearly come to assess the full impact of our strange, bewildering confrontation with it.”
― Jacques F. Vallée, The Invisible College

“Is the mechanism of UFO apparitions, then, an invariant in all cultures? Are we faced here with something more than a projection of Jung’s archetypal images, a psychic technology whose applications know few if any limitations in space and in time? I see no better hypothesis at this point of our knowledge of UFO phenomena. Certainly the space visitors hypothesis fails to explain adequately the ancient symbolism. We do not have a simple series of incidents that could be explained as an encounter with space travelers who might have spotted the earth and explored it casually on their way to another cosmic destination. Instead, we have a pattern of manifestations, opening the gates to a spiritual level, pointing a way to a different consciousness, and producing irrational, absurd events in their wake.”
― Jacques F. Vallée, The Invisible College

“The Book of Mormon was first published in 1830. It is a strange document, similar in many ways to the OAHSPE bible or the BOOK OF URANTIA, two accounts of early history similarly “inspired” by divine intelligence. In 1973 Jacques Bergier proposed to me an amusing explanation for the existence of these books which seem to emanate from a cosmic source and, like the Bible, have come to us through automatic writing or some other form of psychic revelation. There exists, he postulates, a civilization in our galaxy which is broadcasting at regular intervals some cosmic education program, much in the same manner as the French National Radio is every day broadcasting selected lectures in philosophy and history from the Sorbonne. Just as the French are beaming these broadcasts to Africa and other remote places, we could well visualize an advanced civilization broadcasting very advanced concepts on psychic wavelengths, to be picked up by gifted prophets on earth and millions of other retarded planets! Such differences as exist between the Koran, the Bible, the Book of Mormon and other sacred texts would be due to the imperfect understanding of the various individuals who pick up these broadcasts, just as four or five sorcerers from different African tribes, playing at night with old radio sets in different parts of the jungle, might obtain very different impressions of the civilized world through the Sorbonne cultural broadcasts … especially if they did not know what the Sorbonne was, and had only a limited acquaintance with the French language!”
