H is becoming obsessed with aliens and it’s freaking me out

[Anonymous]

This is so freaking bizarre and I can’t believe my life has morphed into this. H has fallen down the aliens/UFO rabbit hole and is obsessed. He watches YouTube videos, reads books, listens to podcasts. Now literally all he wants to talk about is how the government is covering up the existence of aliens and how we need to do something about it.

Whenever he tries to talk to me about it I say that I think there’s a rational explanation for sightings and he gets angry with me. I’ve tried showing him videos and articles that explain UFO sightings, and he gets so angry he raises his voice and storms off. We can’t go one day without him wanting to talk about UFOs and then him getting angry at me for not believing.

Would you be concerned over this? I’m worried about what other rabbit holes this will lead to (Q anon, alt right, etc).

Your husband seems to have difficulty expressing himself. That said, there's a lot of good data to support his obsession.

Watch the sworn congressional testimony of David Grusch. Read Imminent by Lue Elizondo. Watch Karl Nell speak at the Sol conference. Watch an interview with David Fravor, Navy fighter pilot.

I think you'll find any of the above highly credible and supportive of the idea that the US government is concealing information from us about aliens and UFOs.

Rather than deny him his belief why can't you just say "honey, there are literally billions of stars in the sky. Each one presumably has its own solar system of planets. We'd be idiots to think that somehow Earth is the only planet that supports life. So yeah, there likely is life elsewhere in the universe. But it doesn't impact our daily lives. It doesn't change our need to work and pay our bills. It's cool to think about space and how it doesn't end but I'm just not obsessed with it.

Ok, but so what? Let's all assume that the U.S. government is "covering up" what do you want to know? If there are creatures from other parts of the universe that have contacted earth they are way more advanced than us to even be able to travel here. We can barely get man to the moon. And more than "aliens" I think the government covers up stuff about the possibility the Earth taking a direct hit from a meteor and wiping out the planet. If we can't stop it, might as well not panic the entire world.

Honestly I'd be concerned about a brain tumor or some other cognitive development.
A new interest is one thing. An obsession and " needing to do something about it" is very different.

+1. Something isn't right here.

Your husband is correct and there’s nothing unreasonable about what he’s saying.

Literally dozens of our most elite military aviators (who undergo extensive psych evals and are trusted with billions of dollars in classified equipment) are on record, and in some cases live video, encountering aerial vehicles that fly in patterns and with tech that deny our understanding of physics. Several vehicles then submerged into the Pacific Ocean, or launched at hypersonic speed into the atmosphere.

There’s plenty of other empirical, objective, raw factual information that tends to support the view that we’ve been visited by tech and capabilities that vastly exceed anything modern humans are capable of. But whatever, I don’t care about debating the point.

But the casual eye-rolling arrogance to just assume this is impossible, that you have such expansive knowledge to know for certain there are no “unknown unknowns” is a Luddite position. You’re the scientific consensus insisting that anyone who thinks the earth revolves around the sun is a heretic.

Isn't there evidence now that they do exist and that there was a cover up?

[Anonymous]

The only concern here is the “do something about it”.

I think the queen killed Diana but like…then I go about my day.

Does he really want to take action? Or is it a corner of the world he’s just discovered? Like I just got obsessed with tradwives.

I met someone like this. He is the US ambassador in an EU country, and he claims that this belief is not uncommon in his circles (though he careful about when/where/to whom he talks about the topic). He's met Obama. He's met heads of state of various countries. He presents as an urbane, well-educated, rational person. So I don't know what to think.

I think that the evidence is of unidentified flying objects, and also unidentified crafts in/above water. The government has admitted we don't know what they are.

So maybe aliens, but also (maybe more likely) the work of another country.
