what if ufo's were built by dolphins?

[MrPosti...@kymhorsell.com]

Not entirely a joke.
The best publicly-available evidence so far seems to suggest at least part
of the UFO phenomenon relate to very earth-compatible lifeforms, if not some
old civilization that went crypto for whatever reason.
But no single characterisation seems to explain the wide variety of
behaviours that have been witnessed by "ultra-reliable witnesses" and/or
a range of scientific instruments.

Forget Extraterrestrials: What if UFOs Were Piloted by Dolphins?

Crazy? Perhaps... but hear me out.

Earlier this year I was taking part in a panel discussion involving
UFOs when the inevitable subject arose of where they are coming from
and who, if anyone, is piloting them. Because I'd already been
engaging in something of a thought experiment on the subject, I
decided to test it out on the other panelists and it's since taken on
a life of its own, at least in my social media timeline.

"Some people believe it's the Russians or the Chinese," I said. "It's
not. Others think it's aliens. It's not aliens. It's dolphins," I
continued. "If we ever catch one of those tic tacs and cut it open,
it's going to be full of salt water and there will be a dolphin inside
wearing some sort of telekinetic helmet."

Certainly I was partly tossing the idea out there for humorous value,
but not entirely. Crazy? Perhaps. But bear with me for a moment and I
just might change your mind.


HOW WOULD AN UNDERWATER MAMMAL CONSTRUCT A STARSHIP?

Well, that question jumps too far ahead in the discussion without
establishing the required groundwork. Let's start with something more
basic. Would dolphins even be capable of grasping such advanced
concepts?
