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.

Me too!

Also, I'm late to the Mormon mommy influencer party, but I've pulled up a seat there as well.

I'm sorry OP but he sounds seriously delluded and unhinged. Is it possible to bring him into a Drs office under the guise of an annual physical and then start getting him to talk about aliens in from of the doctor?

Paranoid obsessions was the first sign that the guy I was dating was suffering from bipolar disorder. The subject matter isn’t important (may have been valid), the quality of obsession is concerning. I think instead of trying to convince your husband that aliens don’t exist (I have no strong feelings here, seems like there might be more evidence than I would have imagined but…) you need to address why he is obsessed, how it’s affecting him, you etc. maybe a therapist. Any other behavior changes?

I do think aliens exist, but the problem is that he seems obsessed with it and unable to talk about anything else. That would worry me. Has he always had tendencies to not be able to "read the room"?

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.

Unidentified does not mean space ship, it could mean flash of light.

Yes there are objects that are not identified... that does not mean space ship.

Standard advices to let the patient have their own beliefs, acknowledge and accept their emotional reaction to it, neither deny nor endorse their delusions, and focus on helping them live safely and comfortably without hurting themselves or others.

Flash of light isn't flying. That would be a sensor anomaly, not a UFO

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.

Ambassadors to allied countries are the least intelligent, least skilled people in government. Those jobs are given out in exchange for campaign donations. Good looking dumb trust fund kids.

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.

Which country has the ability to secretly develop technology beyond the US capability to understand?
If they are anything they are US secret tech.

My brother has bipolar with delusions, schizoaffective type. His paranoia sounds a lot like this. He tries to warn us of things. Was very antivax, antifloride, anti 5G.. it all followed a very troubling pattern. He is extremely well educated (Stanford, etc), but he is mentally ill and won’t do anything about it. He’s not a harm to anyone though, so I can’t fo much about it. He goes through cycles where he seems almost fine.

I mean...he is correct to be concerned. There is something happening and the government is preparing us for disclosure. Its not a good time to bury your head in the sand.

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).

What does he propose you do about it? Hold on -- Ima pop me some popcorn. But I gotta know.

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.

You are absolutely correct but this guy seems to have gone down way too deep in the rabbit hole.

As other posters have mentioned, there’s been a lot of credible testimony around the topic. The phenomenon is very real, but, there’s literally nothing obsessing over it will do.

I do think that somewhere the US does know more than the general population on this topic, but they don’t understand it and releasing what’s known would cause chaos.

It seems that all of the “glitch in the matrix” type phenomenon such as near death experiences, ghosts, posessions, aliens, ufos, religion, power of prayer, etc are all likely related and symptomatic of a spiritual collective intelligence.
