A UFO Researcher's Perspective: NBC's The Event Probably Is
Not 'The' Event The World And UFO Community In Particular Were
Waiting And Hoping For!

By Richard M. Dolan,

As of this writing, NBC's new series, "The EVENT," has not
aired,although there certainly is a great buzz about the show
among people interested in UFOs. Even though the 4-minute
trailer doesn't explicitly mention UFOs or aliens, it's not hard
to imagine that, somehow, these themes are important to the
series.

The President learns of a deeply secret CIA operation dealing
with "others" of some sort who are held in a secure base in
Alaska. "So this is true," he says, "this is all true." He is
brought to their location and meets their "leader." He is going
to hold a major press conference, but there is an attempt on his
life. What is happening, according to "The Event's" Wikipedia
entry, is "the biggest cover-up in U.S. history; a coverup which
shapes the very core of mankind as a whole." /

Makes you wonder ... FOR SURE.

Other bloggers, such as LARRY D LOWE, have discussed their
knowledgethat "The Event" is UFO/ET related. I've also been
quietly told by another researcher that this IS indeed the case.

I learned about this show sometime during the summer. At that
time, I talked about it with Bryce Zabel, my intrepid co-author
of the upcoming "A.D., AFTER DISCLOSURE: The PEOPLE's GUIDE TO
LIFE AFTER CONTACT."

Bryce and I had spent the spring and summer writing about what
the world really will look like following the Disclosure of the
UFO/ET reality here on planet Earth. So you can see why we would
be especially interested in following this "event" for a major
broadcasting network, especially since our own book is complete
and due for release in late October.
http://www.afterdisclosure.com/2010/09/introduction.html

With the release of a major television show based, it would
seem, on something to do with a significant Earth-changing
"event," I can only reflect on what I think will be the real
Earth-changing event.

THAT will be the Disclosure -- whether by an American President
or some other major public figure -- of the reality of a non-
human intelligence interacting with humanity. An intelligence
that is connected to the UFO phenomenon, and that is,
fundamentally, "not us." They are "Others."

This does NOT mean they are extraterrestrial, though of course
they might be. Perhaps, too, these "OTHERS" inhabit some other
dimension of reality.

Or maybe they are humans from another place or time. Or maybe
something entirely different, or some combination of
possibilities. Dealing with them, trying to understand them, was
one of the key issues of our book,but by no means the only one.

As far as I can tell, what we have done is unique. Bryce and I
have tried to peer into the future, into a world in which the
UFO reality is fully and openly acknowledged. A future in which
we recognize that at least some UFOs have been the product of an
advanced intelligence not from our civilization.

ASK Yourself: HOW would the open acknowledgment of such a truth
affect our world? HOW would it affect YOU personally?

For most of this last decade, I have been lecturing on the
challenges and opportunities presented by a true disclosure of
the reality of UFOs. The topic fascinates me. But what I
discovered is that it is a lot easier to talk about why UFO
secrecy ought to end, than it is to glimpse the murky future of
a post-disclosure world.

BUT here is what I think will happen. There will be a day when
the truth-- the big, big TRUTH -- DOES come out. Today is not
yesterday, and tomorrow surely will not be today. By that I
simply mean that our world is changing too fast. We cannot
possibly expect that in the coming years we will perceive and
understand reality as we do today.

Think about the radical nature of some of our newest shared
technology.Such products as pervasive as smart-phones and
YouTube have only been with us for about five years. Do we
really think time will just stand still, in a 2010 holding
pattern for the remainder of our lives? What new technologies
and new capabilities will exist in 2015? Or 2025? Or 2050?

Is it possible that, at some point between now and then, we
achieve a critical mass in what we know and how we know it? One
that forces "The Powers That Be" into acknowledging the obvious?
Yes, I think itcertainly is possible. I would say it is likely.

WHAT will that "Event" be? That real event, NOT the one made for
television.

Well, it can be a number of things, certainly, but my money is
on a future sighting. A MASS SIGHTING, most probably, and one
that is captured on multiple devices, from multiple
perspectives. It would help if a major media representative were
already there, forced into reporting the event because it's
right there.

You think it's impossible? I would beg to differ. The UFO story
of the past half century contains a rich history of mass
sightings. But only in the last few decades have we had any
practical capability to record objects in the sky.

Even today, we are NOT quite able to have multiple, high quality
devices ready to record strange things in the sky. Ever try
getting a good night video out of your phone? Then you know what
I mean. Within a few years, though, there is NO question that
things will be different.

So, if you consider that, at some point between now and then, an
Event of some sort makes Disclosure an inevitability - what
then? What happens after Disclosure?

One thing you can be sure of is that, in such a world,
EVERYTHING will be AFFECTED. In the first place, before even
dealing with the "Others"-- whoever, whatever they are -- there
will be many shocked people.

It WILL be an "everything-you-thought-you- knew-was-wrong"
moment. People will immediately understand that their government
has lied to them for an entire lifetime. Then, following the
initial shock, they will be very angry.

For once people begin asking how the lie succeeded for so long,
they will begin looking at some of the major institutions of our
world:government, media, academia. They will want to know how it
happened that these bodies, supposedly representing the people,
lied to them for so long. What they will find will be corruption
and manipulation embedded within those institutions, all in the
service of secrecy.

There will also be questions about energy. That is because one
of the immediate issues in a post-Disclosure world will be the
glaring obviousness of one thing: that whatever these Others use
to get around, it isn't high-octane gasoline. Clearly, they use
something different, something much better. Whatever that
"better" is, it will seem logical to try to replace petroleum
with it.

EVERYONE dreams of a post-petroleum world, but how do we
actually, concretely, make that transition - especially when we
are talking about the biggest business in the world? No one is
saying we should not do it, but to think it will happen easily
is pure fantasy.

Questions about petroleum are indelibly linked to questions
about world finance. The world, after all, is a petroleum-based
economy. Most of the value of world's goods are a direct
reflection of the cost of the energy used to create and
transport them. What, then, if we get something like "free"
energy? Aside from creating a potential utopia or dystopia, how
will that affect stock valuations, for starters?

We might also ask how Disclosure will affect world culture and
society? Will there be a mass rejection of old values in favor
of something new? Will there be a new generation gap, such as
what people experienced during the 1960s ("Don't trust ANYone
over 30!")?

Will there be a resurgence in hallucinogenic drugs, based on the
idea that taking them will allow you to see other entities (this
is already becoming a widespread belief among people who take
certain substances common to South America). Will Disclosure
perhaps spark a renaissance of the human spirit, learning, and
creativity?

There are issues of religion and spirituality. How would the
world's major religions deal with Disclosure? Are some better
prepared than others? How might they interpret the Disclosure
Event differently from one another? What kinds of new religions
might we expect? Will Disclosure cause religions to collapse, or
will it cause them to become more deeply entrenched?

We can ask the same of how Disclosure will affect the world of
science. Certainly, scientists themselves are likely to be
deeply upset by the news, at least initially. After all, most of
them have spent their entire lives denying even the possibility
that UFOs might actually be real. They will be in for a rude
awakening. But then what? It is quite possible that Disclosure
will spark a new era in science, new questions, new discoveries.

Then there will be the ultimate political fall out. After the
shock to our institutions, the angry populations around the
world, somehow, some way, our global system will realign itself.
How will this happen? What will the new system look like? Will
we have a global police state, or will Disclosure offer the
opportunity to break the chains of authoritarianism?

These are NOT easy questions to answer. Some were not even easy
to ask. NONE of us has a true crystal ball into the future. But
in the course of writing "A.D., AFTER DISCLOSURE," one thing
became obvious to Bryce and me.

http://keyholepublishing.com/AD.html

The radical transformation of every facet of our world by
Disclosure provides the reason for the secrecy itself. Bryce is
no stranger to expressing these ideas in dramatic form on
television -- his earlier NBC series about ALIEN INVASION, "Dark
Skies," can easily be viewed as a cautionary tale for WHY the
government intends to keep the secret intact at almost any cost.

In other words, the intrusion into our world by "Others" is
radical enough. But even more radical is openly acknowledging
them. Because doing so will rock our world so thoroughly that
very little will be recognizable after the fallout.

Some may see this as a reason for not pushing Disclosure. Better
safe than sorry, they might say. And indeed, those few who are
in full possession of the secret have always felt this way. But
you see, here is the problem with their position: the world is
not static. Time keeps moving.

The day will come soon -- whether 50 years from now or tomorrow
-- in which something will force their hand. Someone will have
to admit something. Once that happens, all hell will break
loose. Yes, leaders will continue to lie their asses off. Of
course they will. Spin and lies will be the order of the day.

But this time something will be different.

This time the intellectual playing field will be different. Lies
and spin will be harder for the elite, not easier, in a post-
Disclosure world. Not impossible, but certainly not easier.

This is because once their lifetime of lies is revealed,
everything goes on the table for discussion, and I can assure
you there will be no shortage of good, reliable data, concerning
the long history of UFO encounters, from which to begin your own
research. I should know: I havespent nearly two decades poring
over such data. It's there in abundance.

The real world, after the real Event, will surely be rather
different from the fictionalized world portrayed on NBC
following its fictionalized Event. No doubt, the television show
will entertain.

But the real-life issues caused by a lifetime of the greatest
cover-up in modern history -- that is, the UFO cover-up -- are
vastly more profound and complex than even those portrayed by
NBC's latest thriller.
