Blog 4: The Allegory of the Cave through History



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_abduction
            Plato used shadows as an illusion for the people live in the cave.  They never knew that the shadows were just real thing because they never saw sunlight.  A lot of people, including me, believe in the existence of aliens.  It will be a debate that will live on forever and would only be proven if aliens happened to come in contact with a completely sane human.  Whenever someone claims seeing a UFO or being taken by one, they are automatically label “insane” or “on drugs”.  “On September 21, Betty telephoned Pease Air Force Base to report their UFO encounter, though, for fear of being labeled insane, she withheld some of the details.”  This is taken of the case of Betty and Barney Hill, an American married couple who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials on September 19–20, 1961.  Normally, when a person would read this story, they would automatically called it fake or that the person was lying.  Not me, I truly believe these stories 100%.  There have been many other stories but the other famous one is the Jimmy Carter UFO incident.  No matter how much someone tries to prove me wrong, I will always believe that there is other life out there and I also believe that the government might know it too.  That is one thing I can’t prove but I believe that they are holding back information for our safety.  If people knew for certain that there where life forms out there, people would do anything in their power to try to get video of it. There have been plenty of UFO sighting to honestly believe that someone has to be telling the truth.  The same illusion of aliens tie into the illusion that there is reason to believe that there is alien traces at Area 51.  Lastly, as Plato used the illusion of the shadows, humans love to believe the unbelievable and since those shadows happened to turn out to living things, why can’t our “shadows” turn out to become extraterrestrials living things.
