Or maybe opinions are being promoted before sufficient information has been revealed for cogent comparison.
I had expended several days writing a reply, but in retrospect, it occurrs to me that revealing the minitua would likely elicite derision, and then no matter how I present what I suspect that I know is true will result in the same outcome, so I'll give the short version instead as requires much less effort.
I organized a secret NEETS (Near Earth ET Studies) research group (1995 ~1998); membership was via invitation only. Although a few members were not academics but rather specialists in fields of technical endeavor, membership majority in the community were Ph.D.s, mainly courted from SETI and-or were aerospace academic (several were NASA/NRDC) scientists. I was feverishly engaged designing and conducting in-field phenomena centric contact experiments (mainly wrt luminous-orbs), and in the midst of these processes, in a period of 24 hours, everyone in my community was 'attacked' in some obscure manner, including myself, nearly everyone dropped out of association in that 24 hour period. The 'attacks' seemed uncorrellated, but in retrospect, we were obviously targeted. It was nasty.
It was my belief at the time that I was being attacked psionically by Reptilians as I was able to see what they are doing, however a functional Qabalah Mystic, who helped defend me for appx three years (free), believed that the attacks were the work of Earthian Military. That's the alternative explanation that I cited.
