Less Lemon, more sugar: the art of explaining UAP
By Lisa Puzo Strickland, PhD (As appeared in TheWowSignal.news in It All Connects.)
With frequent Pentagon file releases and the notable increase in whistleblower testimonies, the UAP news is coming at us fast.
One cannot turn on a TV or open a device without seeing or hearing something about the phenomena. It is become glaringly obvious that this era of disclosure, within which we are firmly situated, requires clear and legitimate dialogue and dissemination.
As these reality-shifting conversations continue to seep into the public psyche, many are concerned about who is doing the talking and what exactly they are saying because, let’s be honest, not everyone is equally qualified to retain the subject’s validity.
Given the complexity, the UAP conversation calls for accuracy and sometimes delicacy.
Words such as non-human biologics and national security threat not appropriately placed in correct context can be jarring and thus affect our most vulnerable, namely the UFO naïve and our children.
Add to that a dash of attention-grabbing sensationalism and all legitimacy goes out the window. So, every word spoken, and how it is spoken, matters more now than ever.
The good news, retaining UAP authenticity is easier done than said, per se.
But before I explain, let’s have a cup of T.
T.C.U.P.
A few months ago, I was approached by a couple of media outlets here in Nashville, Tennessee. One was a locally based major television affiliate and the other an up-and-coming podcast. In both cases, I was told they found me by online searching “UFO expert in Tennessee”.
Because of my 30 years in media and marketing prior to my shifting gears toward UAP, I immediately recognized two things: first, that online searches can be inconsistent, and second, that the sharing of UAP and NHI related intel deserves accuracy and objectivity.
The idea for T.C.U.P. was born! And within a few phone calls, the cup was poured.
The Tennessee Coalition for UAP Perspective, or T.C.U.P., connects TN-based media, legislators, and community leaders with a vetted roster of TN resident experts on unidentified anomalous phenomena and non-human intelligence.
In other words, it’s a group of who’s that know what to say and how to say it.
Graciously joining me in this endeavor are three other experts in their perspective fields, all of whom actively study and speak on the UAP phenomena.
Stephen Bruehl, Ph.D. is a Vanderbilt University professor and scientist who co-wrote the now famous paper on 1950’s transients alongside Dr. Beatriz Villaroel. Bruehl offers substantial knowledge of UAP and its surrounding government interest.
Dr. Joanne Mednick is a trauma therapist who is licensed in both California and Tennessee. Her experience allows her to delve into the psychological and spiritual aspects of the UAP or NHI encounter.
And Will Morgan Holland, a filmmaker, director, and an active member of Hollywood Disclosure Alliance (HDA), uses his relatable style to effectively deliver the complexity of the phenomena. Will is also the creator behind Starseed, a stunning documentary about a UAP experiencer.
With T.C.U.P., the state of Tennessee now has an accessible and credible resource for journalists, local government officials, and those just looking for the truth regarding what is flying in our skies and diving into our oceans.
But expert intel is not the property of any one voice or coalition, no matter in which state one lives. Instead, it is the right of all who believe the phenomena is real - and who genuinely care about the process of disclosure.
Which brings us back to my previous point, that the retention of UAP authenticity is easier done than said.
The Quick 5
There are 5 easy steps to sharing the many complicated and often convoluted facts about UAP and NHI with those looking to learn.
When followed, anyone can help the most skeptical or the least knowledgeable more easily absorb this epochal addition to our reality.
SHARE the truth - and only the truth - in a clear, honest, and simplified manner. Remember, sometimes less is more, so speak in soundbites rather than long dissertations. Use science to back your facts when necessary, and expound on explanations if needed, but don’t overdo it. The information itself is plenty. So, keep it simple. Stick to what you know is factual, say it matter-of-factly, and skip the rest.
DEBUNK any untruths within the conversation immediately. Clear the table by hitting those falsities head on with verified findings. Be careful not to spend the whole time debunking because there’s too much real stuff to talk about.
REFRAIN from any kind of sensationalism, speculation, or opinion. This just muddies up the water and creates confusion. Stay on point and keep to the certified evidence. The more genuine the information you present, the more genuine you come across.
CALM any fear and uncertainty with a composed, straightforward presence. Be direct yet still empathetic to another’s emotions and concern. Welcome questions and continue to confirm clarity throughout the conversation to foster a sense of safety.
WRAP-UP by encouraging the listener or audience to seek truth through the lens of thoughtful discernment. Remind them that curiosity propels us forward, while discretion keeps us grounded in reason. And always end on a high note - because humanity is navigating a remarkable journey into an ever-expanding understanding of our existence.
The UAP conversation is a slow stir and is not meant to be rushed.
It is better when tempered with kindness and clarified with data.
And it is quickly soured by those whose ambitions fail to prioritize the greater potential of humanity.
This conversation is yours to have and yours to lead. So, stir carefully and enjoy every sip.
Cheers!
