Feeling Sneaky


Just like Australian band Sneaky Sound System who rocketed to fame with their gold single entitled UFO, a lot of people have seen a UFO but nobody believes them either. How frustrating, but more to the point, how very isolating. Just like the first line of the song that says “ I just don’t wanna be lonely”, thousands around the planet are also being forced into exiled loneliness by hostile skeptics and denialists. As people report their experiences of UFO events to their doctors, neighbours, churches etc, again as the words of the song say, they end up having to bite their tongue for the “plastic man on the telephone”.

Witnesses are continually forced to endure the continuous stream of debunking by the narrow-minded commentary of SETI scientists blabbing on about the simple physics of high school science making intergalactic space travel close to impossible, the casual bald-faced avoidance by skeptics of any serious questioning of UFOs and ET visitation, and the intelligence community hell bent on keeping a lid on the possible negative aspects of the phenomenon that has the potential to ignite public panic.

For those who endure this consistent wash into the falsely turbulent mythology of our current reality, it becomes at times almost too much to bear. Many may feel they are sent far from home and their respective tribes by these experiences, and just like in the song, left wondering “Whats it gonna take to get me back home tonight?”. After all, their goal is that they too, just don’t wanna be lonely - and isn’t that the simple point....?
