Teach them paintball (yes a title)
I was looking at this thread a bit today. This subject could go a million directions from here. I think that is true because of some aspects to the unknown. To even get started unraveling the unknown, at least intellectually speaking, you have to discuss the Vail, the Mirror and the Wall. These are classic philosophic metaphors.
Our classic accepted world is a human structured concept built from what we believe and are willing to understand. There are some exceptions but mostly we see what we expect and are used to understanding. And we've gotten good at creating acceptable categories for what hasn't fit. We hate things that don't fit, so we make a 'fit' to put it in, sometimes a little too soon. And our operational brain follow's that dutifully, it's just trying to help you do what you want.
For one example, your brain is 1/10 of second behind reality. It automatically calculates visual events and awareness into the future, such that you will see events even if it doesn't happen as your brain expects. (There are demo's Just look it up on brain games in netflix.) The same is true for other processes of thinking, which is why the experimenter's involvement in the experiment must always be considered. It's also part of the rigid mid control that any dogma exploits. Plop on top of that both social and personality politics, and there you have a 'Trump' world view. (or Obama as your politics dictate, let's not go there!)
Most of us are not comfortable with incomprehensible subjective ideas be it looking at objects or intellectual thoughts. And worse, our minds try and fill-it-in, obscuring the evidence. So that's the 'vail'.
As for the Mirror, it is that we judge others and facts from what we have in ourselves. That is to include our world-view. If we are prone to conspiracy we will see that everywhere. The scary part is that if you see evil, that can only happen because you have it or experienced it at some point with-in yourself. A person who has realized that will not immediately run from the mirror of truth. And I should say, denial is a form of running. Perception is the mirror. Self honesty is the first step toward managing all of it.
So the Vail relates to the talent to see. And the Mirror relates to the ability to judge or conclude. Both are part of the Wall. The wall is what lies between what we think we know and what we don't. Part of what makes knowledge or new states of being inaccessible.
The other part of the wall, is just plain objective difficulty to access. By time, just not every time you try. By distance, not being in the right place (or state of some kind), by volume, just not very many of what ever it is, by instrumentation, not having the means to perceive it. The Dr Who show was very smart to leverage this metaphor.
And by the way, your body can make adjustments to perceive things, when it's made aware of the desire to do so. This especially applies to anything ESP oriented, but also the five senses. And it works to the opposite as well, use it or lose it!
And there are exceptions to all of that. Creativity and openness can allow people to pierce the vail, and then too sometimes the wall exposes a hole and someone will just fall thru it. After that the Vail is pierced, the Mirror is softened and the wall has that missing brick.
The UFO spector brings all of that up. And so does many other things like ... (let's not go there in this thread)...
Anyway, my point is, even for yourself, what you commonly see (or uncommonly), may stay a secret in plain sight, or a crack in the wall. It's just depends on your own programming relating to the Vail and the Mirror.
Do I have a good example of this other than UFO's? Yes I do.
Do you know when people are looking at you? No? No good evidence? Learn to win at competitive paintball. At a high level you must develop that 'talent' if you are to win reliably.
Once you have that experience under your belt, it's a real thing. Can you prove it to someone resistive to the idea? Nope. Teach them paintball.
