I don’t want to be the UFO weirdo, but sometimes I just can’t hold back.

Hi guys! I’d like to ask in general how you deal with the knowledge from the UFO scene in your private life. I’ve been involved with the UFO topic for about 10 years now and, for various reasons, I’m convinced not only that we are not alone in the universe, but also that we are constantly being visited by different alien races.

Now, as you probably know, whenever you bring up topics like “UFOs” or “ETs” with people who aren’t part of the “bubble,” you’re quickly seen as a top-tier conspiracy theorist.

I’ve always been careful about who I “come out” to as a UFO believer. There have even been times at social gatherings when my wife has outed me as a UFO fan, and I’ve then made fun of the whole topic myself just to make sure I don’t give anyone the wrong first impression.

So, long story short: how do you handle this? Do you have examples, cases, or interviews you point outsiders to in order to show them that the UFO topic should be taken much more seriously than it usually is in the public discourse? Or do you try not to bring up the subject at all?
