The Hesitant Headline · chapter 1

Proem

One fact that probably no one can deny is that the question of whether another intelligent life form on the level of humans, or higher than us, has been here on Earth has been a subject of fascination and mockery for decades in the Anglo-Saxon society of the Western world.

So also in Sweden. The country that I know best myself.

In this paper, I want to show, from a local point of view, that there are variations in a global perspective. Which stands in stark contrast to the one-sided denial and consensus-seeking skepticism that one encounters. Yes, almost exclusively, in our official mainstream media and society today, even among several of those who are, or claim to be, the subject's foremost advocates.

The most common objections heard are:

• "If it were true, it would have already been reported, news of the times, we would have already known!”
• “There is no (scientific) evidence for it”
• “Why does this only happen in the USA?"
• The distances in the universe are too great to make it possible to travel here

While the issue among honest independent experts appears to be anecdotally proven many times over, even outside the borders of the United States, our population seems to be enchanted by a group of people who have managed to spread the above propaganda widely and very successfully.

The otherwise professional disinterest seems to some as incomprehensible and to others as difficult to investigate but nevertheless explainable. In my opinion, the above pattern fits perfectly by definition that we are in the midst of a paradigm shift.¹

On October 20, 2024, Citizens for Disclosure Sweden was launched² as an independent national committee for the American New Paradigm Institute³. Led by Danny Sheehan, who is known from Watergate, Iran-Contra, etc. and now for his legal representation of high-profile whistleblowers in our subject. The organization aims to promote increased transparency and awareness around the UAP / UFO phenomenon. By combining resources and expertise, CfD Sweden works to support research and debate around these important issues in Sweden, and strives to create an open platform for dialogue and cooperation in establishing an evidence-based truth on the matter.

I myself am one of the founders, also national coordinator for CfD Sweden, civil engineer MSc, event architect/disc jockey⁴ and in this context I am a Disclosure advocate, note that I do not call myself a ufologist or researcher, I can agree with skepticism.

This living writing is a review of what I currently find most relevant and personally interesting, to give a quick insight into the issue to those who are curious. Some highlights, as well as footnotes to continue with for those who are more interested.

I am skeptical that the “eternal ufology” that produces thousands of hours of podcasts and X/ Facebook/Reddit threads daily is of such great benefit to the population at large, but it becomes easy material only for the already “saved”. This writing has the ambition to offer something different, a way into the subject to quickly get an overview.

One objection many have is that UFO / UAP personalities are so-called grifters, i.e. only dedicated to the subject to sell books and lectures, you can make your own judgment about me and where I stand. But I have not earned a penny from this, on the contrary, it has cost me reputation and possibly reduced reach online.

What's the point of doing this? My thesis is that much of the suffering and problems we see in the world stem from the closed societies and national security state/intelligence agencies that I believe have influenced how and why this issue has been handled the way it has been, and that a popular insight into this particular issue is a concrete key that has the potential to unlock much that is evil in one fell swoop and change the world for the better. How this issue has been handled, and how the public's perception has, in my opinion, been manipulated, points to the fact that we do not really live in a free world yet.

What has happened in my environment, concerning people with special information, as well as my own personal experiences of incidents in our society related to this, I can tell you more about upon request. Some interviews are available on YouTube.⁵

And yes, in recent years I have repeatedly tried to gain a voice in Swedish politics and mass media, both mainstream and alternative, without the slightest luck.

Kind regards,
