The further we go into this, I’m beginning to feel like pretty much everything looks and smells like a soft/loose plan that may be decades (or more?) in the making.

It is now turning toward the next act of the story.

The entire thing really does seem to tidily fit into a human-friendly narrative structure.

What is a five-act structure?

Borrowing from here:

https://www.masterclass.com/articles/five-act-structure

For the unaware, this is the iconic five-act structure of fiction broadly popularized in the West by William Shakespeare (or perhaps Chaucer?). There are other variants on story structures. In Western fiction, the next two most popular are the classical three-act structure and the Hero’s Journey (think Luke Skywalker and Neo from the Matrix as easy examples). There are still more variants from other cultures.

How does this fit into the overall historical arc of UFO history as we know it?

Act I: Exposition. In the first part of your script, introduce the main characters and provide a backstory. The first act also presents (or at least hints at) the central conflict through an “exciting force” or “inciting incident.”

Current widely-known Human history until the 1940s. All of it.

Act II: Rising action. In the second act of the five-part story structure, the conflict begins to increase as the characters try to achieve their goals and the narrative builds toward the climax. (Freytag called the second act the rising movement.)

1940s-2017. From World War II’s ending with the atomic bombs through Kenneth Arnold and Roswell, and on to the first-ever formally leaked UFO evidence from the United States government, which the US government later permanently and irrevocably labeled genuine in 2020.

Act III: Climax. The third act contains the climax, the moment where the tension reaches its peak in a major scene. Freytag thought of the third act as the turning point rather than the culmination of action—the story’s midpoint where things begin to change and usher in the “counterplay.” Some modern writers delay the “climactic moment” until later in the story—usually act four—or instead opt for a three-act structure.

2017 to Disclosure.

This is where we are, right now.

2027…?

Act IV: Falling action. The elements of act four—also called the falling action—include the series of events that lead to the resolution. Freytag emphasized the importance of a feeling of “final suspense” in the fourth act, a moment in which the audience experiences doubt about their expectations of how the story will unfold.

Post-Disclosure until where humanity ends up… here… out there… sideways, backward, forward, toroidal, whatever is in store for us.

Act V: Resolution. The final act is the end, resolution, or denouement of the story. Here, you should tie up loose ends and bring the narrative to a close, writing either a tragic or happy ending. Freytag called the fifth act “the catastrophe,” the point in a tragedy where most of the characters die.

“And humanity lived happily ever after, to the end of their days.”

How much of what we’re seeing is and has been somewhat to very planned?

What events in our known historical record do you believe were deliberate actions, versus unexpected black swan events against control efforts against Disclosure?

If Lue Elizondo and Christopher Mellon did leak the US Navy videos for 2017, was it their own design, or part of an established plan?

Is Grusch someone with the exact right set of backgrounds and mindset to work out the secret UFO program and then also ended up in the “right place and time”, or was he chosen because he was the right person for the right place and time?

What do you think?
