A group of us DJ friends used to say "we speak alien" which was a comment about the type of music we played. There's a group by the name of Eat Static which is known for their prolific use of aliens trope and 50s style sci-fi samples that has an album titled "Abduction". One of the tracks is called "Gulf Breeze" which at one point was famous for the most reports of alien abductions. I always wanted to spend a night playing music on the beach waiting for the aliens to make an appearance as it seemed to be the most likely of places for it to happen.

Just a random story on a bored sunday

gulf breeze florida? i grew up around there, lots of air force bases in the region, and seeing "UFOs" was very common. can't say i ever heard about abductions though... we definitely saw craft accelerate very quickly without sonic booms (which were common from jets)

Some now even go so far as to claim theyre aliens… or more specifically reptilians

Wait, you're saying that people claim that they themselves are reptilians? I've only heard the nutters claiming that other people are reptiles. There's always gotta be somebody out there that just has to one up the story.

Who? There are DNA tests waiting for them to validate this very specific brand of bullshit.

Your argument is that a brain which is functioning so poorly that it thinks it’s a reptile will be convinced by some piece of paper from a lab? That’s an interesting thought.

There are nice, somewhat tight garments waiting for them. DNA tests are a waste. This if funny farm level delusion, assuming they're not doing it just for kicks. Such beliefs to me are an indicator of a malfunction and just like having your towel with you is an indication of being prepared for everything and that you probably are in the possession of a lot of other useful stuff so is this idea one that comes with a high probability that you have more garbage rolling around in your head.
