When we dont believe people

So finally UFOs on the blog! Cant believe it took so long for them to get a mention

Anyway, I m mentioning them from psychology and sociology perspective anyway

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_School_UFO_incident

So I saw this documentary on Netflix about a group of kids - 62 kids infact who reported to seeing UFO in their school.  Some kids even saw an Alien. It was lunch time, They saw a bright light and it turns out it was a flying saucer. It even had a message to the kids - take care of nature, dont get too technological.

They were not believed. Every adult who heard this, told them - this is not possible, You are lying, you imagined it. Dont talk nonsense.  I dont want to hear anything about it. 

A lawyer who was talking about this said a very powerful thing - people are put in jail, are even given death sentences on eye witness account. 5 people giving eye witness account is enough to put someone in jail , it holds in the court of law. 62 kids saw something and we are not believing it. This is eye witness account.  That hit home for me.

What else do we not believe?  untill recently society didnt believe kids accounts of sexual abuse. They were told exactly the same things as the kids who saw aliens. you must have imagined it, stop lying, dont talk about this any more.

We dont believe about peoples emotions if we havent experienced the same. Depression - I m feeling very sad, we dont believe that someone can feel so sad, we have never felt so sad.

 Some people dont even believe other peoples physical sensations - Oh how can u feel cold? It is so warm here. This was people in my office who turned the AC too low. 

How many people and how many experiences do we shut down like this, How much of our experiences are gas ligthed like this out of our minds? 

Coming back to the UFO incident. It is shocking. There have been countless mass sightings, we have been gas lighted into believing that All of these are misunderstood, fake, they are balloons etc. 

Assuming that something is impossible and then finding a cause for it - that is not scientific. Scientific thinking is when we keep an open mind.

So yeah! I believe in aliens and UFOs, I believe aliens are landing on earth and making contact with people.  They were probably called different names in the past - Fairies, Gods, Gandharwas?
