THE UNWELCOMED: ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA AND THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ANTHROPOCENTRIC INTENTION
IF WE ARE to truly understand the anomalous phenomena, we need to apply appropriate scepticism and analytical assessment of a very complex issue. This means understanding that Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) might not be mutually exclusive with regards to origin. It may in fact turn out that we are dealing with multiple phenomena, multiple technologies and multiple intelligences. As we at UAPMediaUK have argued, we need to have more data that can be verified with multiple sensory array before making pre-determined conclusions. However, we can still consider an idea without subscribing to it, we can still try and theorise on the complexity of the phenomena and we can ask questions which may not present us with an immediate answer. One of the main considerations we can ask ourselves, is that of anomalous (non-human) intelligence. Are the UAP that the military are encountering intelligent like we as humans understand intelligence?
And more interestingly, does the anomalous phenomena have specific intentions towards ourselves or what we consider our planet?
This was a major chapter theme in my last book Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena in which I considered if ‘others’ have consciousness in the way we would understand it. The truth is that we, as humans, consider everything in reality from a human perspective as we ourselves are drenched in psychology. Often we fail to recognise the true meaning behind our own actions and intentions, we struggle to recognise objective truth because we overlay and imprint our own subjective truth. This becomes even more true as an issue when the issue itself holds significant consequences to us. The anomalous phenomena is a prime example of that. When we examine the research and look at the history of ‘UFOs’, it becomes very clear that something quite extraordinary was in our skies and our oceans the whole time. Hundreds of thousands of reports have been made for 70 + years of discs, orbs, cylinders, cubes, triangles, pyramids and everything in between – all displaying incredible technological abilities.
And yet despite this, we as a species were unable or unwilling to psychologically accept this objective reality which glared at us directly in the face. Even with alleged reports of crashed discs and other devices during the nuclear age did we hide the unwelcomed. If these reports are to be taken seriously (and I personally have been told that there is something to it), then we need to fully explore not only our own psychology, but that of the anomalous also. Again, let us speculate without subscribing to various ideas.
Let us start with intention.
Intention is very much a characteristic of psychology (some argue consciousness). A dog can intend to bite you, a cat can intend to scratch you, a fish can intend to evade you, but a plant cannot intend to do you harm (that we know of), it cannot do anything other than to be a plant. Intention is complex and exists on various levels within various species. Some argue it is dependent on the evolution of consciousness.
We attribute intention to others through our own agreed upon observations.
But what can we agree upon about the anomalous phenomena? Can we truly assign intention to them/it through our own (unwittingly) biased observations? The problem is our observations are influenced by the very measurement of measuring - being human. We as humans, are flawed in our logic in one very critical way, we attribute a final conclusion by what we personally experience. When we assess UAP, we subconsciously influence our own decision process, we look for a desired outcome rather than a true objective one. Some Ufologists have argued that the anomalous have an interest in nuclear weapons because they are sending us a message - some argue they want to protect us, others that they want to warn us and then some argue they are going to destroy us. Another alternative hypothesis is that these UAP that buzz nuclear facilities and shut them down, turn them on aren’t doing this with any intention at all. Some argue that maybe this is a consequence of the technology or that the technology is absorbing the radiation as a power source. How much intention does a moth have to a flame?
Truth is, we simply don’t know what their intentions are.
The other point we can consider, is that we simply do not know if there are multiple species/types of UAP that engage nuclear facilities. We don’t know if these military reported UAP today are the exact same ones reported in the 1940/50s with Project Blue Book. For all we know there are multiple variations of UAP which all act and behave exactly the same way. Or maybe all of the anomalous phenomena are from the same source, the same intelligence and the same consciousness origin. Arguably, the concept of intention is directly related origin.
Extra-Terrestrial – From another planet
Ultra-Terrestrial - From Earth
Inter-Dimensional – From another dimension
Multi-Verse – From another universe (3D)
Time-Travellers – From our future (this timeline or another universe timeline)
Quantum Consciousness (holographic universe)
These are the categories that apply to non-human origins. There indeed might be, and probably is, many others but these are the current theoretical conceits held by most UAP analysts. Currently, we should refrain from conclusion on one over another due to a distinct lack of government transparency and UAP data. With this complexity of origin in mind, it makes it incredibly difficult to comment on the perceived intention of another non-human intelligence here in the form of UAP. This lack of data combined with our own personal intentions and desires only seeks to convolute objective reality with subjective reality. We don’t know that they are from our future and want to stop nuclear annihilation, we don’t know that they are little grey android ‘bugs’ from Zeta-Reticuli and have warned us against blowing up the planet. We have stories that can’t be truly verified in the eyes of the mainstream and nothing more.
Additionally, applying anthropocentric intention to the anomalous phenomena is dangerously speculative. Credible, researchers Keel, Harpur and even Jacque Vallee’s ‘control system hypothesis’ all discuss the possibilities of how dimensional beings are influencing human history for some unknown nefarious reason. This may indeed be a plausible explanation; however, we need to ensure we consider such theories without conclusively subscribing to them. We simply cannot infer the mindset of an anomalous phenomena by which we still do not have a complete dataset for. At the other end of the spectrum, debunkers such as Mick West apply to explain away all UAP as drones, balloons and misidentified planes. This may seem a plausible approach to some untrained eyes, but to most professional researchers this is a form of ethical/researcher bias that looks to work backwards from a pre-emptive conclusion rather than conclude that we cannot conclude due to a lack of verifiable, reliable data. Again, we should be able to consider terrestrial explanations for potential anomalous encounters without subscribing to them.

Currently, without such data, it would be a mistake to infer the psychology and intention of the anomalous phenomena or that they even might have intensions like we understand. We always hear ‘why don’t they land on the White House lawn’ or ‘why would they come all this way and not say hello’ and this is then used as a debate marker (by some) as to why they aren’t real, which from a scientific perspective is simply quite ridiculous. We cannot imprint our own psychology onto something potentially anomalous and then attribute their existence based upon that premise.
I wrote in 2018 about a ‘Interjection theory’ which proposed an extreme hypothetical theory that the anomalous might be a direct implementation of the collective human subconscious mind, that they might not even be something with consciousness – beyond that which we humans unwittingly assign to them. Everything from their geometric shapes, to their well-defined illusive behaviours, to their just out of reach technology is part of our human universe. So to pretend we can conclusively say they are conscious beings should me met with scientific scepticism (not debunking). We simply don’t know.
Ultimately, we are at a point in history where we need to meaningfully move forward in our collective understanding of UAP. If anything did crash to Earth in the New Mexico desert and those objects are being hidden in private defence contractor companies such as Lockheed Martin etc, then we need to have that data and material. Only through open scientific examination of such exotic items can we truly get a sense for their unique makeup and with the aid of classified radar data can we understand their origin.
As for who they are, or even if they are a who, well that is a conversation we need have with ourselves once global acceptance of the anomalous phenomena occurs.
