"Randomness is still a mystery, it is not the presence of data that will solve this mystery, it is the absence of data."

Well surmised. The ancient philosophers and natural magicians usually set fire to the haystack to 'find' a needle, versus actively searching through all the straws. It is the handling of that fire we seem to have lost with time and comfort. Your mind has obviously already been changed in a vital alchemical process based on the 'event' or 'encounter' itself. Perhaps that is everything that was desired on the ship that night. Everyone aboard who 'experienced' the 'phenomenon' will carry this substance the remainder of their life. Perhaps you can see it as a form of seeding. Perhaps it was there for the seemingly simple purpose... of being observed. Take care

I keep finding myself at junctures in my life where I am like what now? The answer is always the same it's not up to me. Most biological sciences show us that free will is a farce. What does that mean for the justice system? That doesn't mean it's hopeless just hard. Miracles much bigger than UAP happen around us every 10 minutes and we don't notice. Desire clouding our vision might be the problem but I think we are more than what want and need. It's possible that to have a truly honest conversation we have to start with ourselves and then be primed for a dialogue with the other. Philosophy undergraduates when I was an adolescent would say that you have to explain your life to an alien. I have found that if you want to meet an alien one should pretend to be an alien like a jane monk. It's a wondrous system that seems random sometimes and so fixed other times.
