From the WTS perspective, when we were in it, it was put to us in carefully worded statements that the earth was where the question of Universal Sovereignty was raised in the garden of eden.
So we were to ,decades ago, believe that only here on earth physical life like us exists and only god and angels exist apart from us. Over the decades ,like alot of things taught by the WTS, it has been watered down by not commenting much about this.
Over the weekend I watched an Australian produced TV show on UFO"s which focused heavily on The USA's relaxing of info of government secret files and videos from their military.
Yes the pictures were grainy ,witnesses were interviewed with first and second hand info so it was hard still to see a non believer of UFO's being convinced.
From our media here we seem to always be shown American-centric evidence ,which makes me wonder whether there is perhaps an even world distribution of sightings.
Coming back to Smiddy 3 topic I get the impression that there is more people who have witnessed a UFO experience than there is of anyone actually seeing god,and yet so many believe in something they have never seen!
One thing from the program that struck me was an Australian experience from a school sighting of a very close proximity UFO back in the 60's. It happened at the morning recess break when the kids rushed outside to witness the UFO event and one of the teachers also went outside to see it ,and he is still around and was interviewed about this. Government representatives at the time shut him down by saying that he was drunk on the job and would lose his job. Of course he was'nt but in those days that's how they forcibly shut people up.
When I was a teenager back then I went fishing one night with some boys I had grown up with ,it was a clear night in Adelaide and we saw UFO's travelling the sky in a formation and also breaking of at high speed ,and dead stopping then changing direction impossibly .They were high up and we could not make out the shape but it made us feel scared at what we witnessed and we had difficulty talking to each other about it after this.
Years later when I owned my own home one of my neighbors was a flight traffic controller.My wife and i were over their house for dinner. I asked him about UFO.s and gave him my story, he was very hesitant and eventually opened up and told me of his sightings on the radars and the incredible speeds they travel at and the inexplicable stopping in mid flight suddenly and shooting off again. He was a government employee and said they had firm rules that they should not share with the public,but he did with me.
It's a funny world where the world is encouraged to believe in something that has'nt been seen .and yet many have seen UFO's but have to shut up about it!
