For discussion of everything rum and uncanny, from cryptozoology (mysterious or out-of-place animals), UFOs, high strangeness, etc. Following in the footsteps of Charles Fort and all those inspired by him, like the field of anomalistics.

As this community is on Feddit.uk it takes a British approach to things but it needn't be restricted to the UK - if it's weird and unusual it probably has a home here.

Since the shocking revelation about the US Government's UFO research programme in 2017, the topic of extraterrestrial visitors has gradually shifted from conspiracy theories to mainstream discussion.

In recent times, military experts have sworn before the US Congress that the Pentagon ran a "multi-decade" programme which collected and attempted to reverse-engineer crashed alien crafts.

However, the official government "disclosure" of contact with aliens, whether through interstellar craft landings or the recently reported "non-human technological signature" allegedly detected by an Australian radio telescope, seems as distant as ever.

Wow, hell of a claim. And far from an accurate one.

Absolutely no evidence exists to indicate any event is actually visitors from another planet. That is very much still considered to be nothing but science fiction. The idea that any non earth intelligence is doing it now is definitely not a mainstream one.

That unidentified things have been seen. Yep, that is certainly an open debate. Where in the past, many would not discuss it openly. And what are they, is most defiantly mainstream discussion. Rather the buried by governments as in the past.

Also, the fact that it is very likely humanity/earth is not unique in the universe is very much an accepted but not yet proven idea within science.

But the possibility of those other as yet unknown civilisation visiting earth is still not only unproven. But considered by most to be improbable to impossible due to the distance and speed of light limitations. With the improbable being nothing more than interesting maths ideas. With no evidence of possibility in real life.
