Quotations:
“If the government did not see an issue with UFOs, there would be no research and no funding on it. Because if it’s all unicorns and rainbows and butterflies, why look into it? Why spend manpower, equipment, and money on it?” ~ Cristina Gomez
“You need to take this seriously because there is something to it. We just don’t fully know. what it is, we have theories, we have ideas, we have witnesses, but we don’t have all of the answers.” ~ Cristina Gomez
“Science is always finding new information and they find out that their foundation that they’re standing on is a bit wobbly. It’s cracked and it’s fractured in so many ways And so when we’re looking at that, we have to quickly adapt.” ~ Cristina Gomez
“My favorite quote by Aristotle is “To know all is to know nothing”. When you have a glass that’s full of water, you can’t add any more water to that. It’s like a brain; you can’t add any more information when you think you’re the smartest person in the universe.” ~ Cristina Gomez
“You’re not going to share your darkest secrets. You’re not going to share your true thoughts with someone that you don’t know compared to someone that you do.” ~ Cristina Gomez
“When you have your own experience, you don’t need someone to validate it for you. You don’t need another book or documentary or the government to say, yeah, it’s true because you already live it on a daily basis. And that’s when you look at this topic, you have those that have never had an experience and want that validation. And those who have had an experience and just say, I already know this.” ~ Cristina Gomez
“This is your only chance. You better make it good, right? When we have these ideas, either way, there is something on the other side. There is something more than just this one. And for many people, not everyone, it’s reassuring that when we die, we’re not fully gone.” ~ Cristina Gomez
“In all seriousness, in all reality, looking at the strange and the mysterious UFOs, space exploration, the paranormal, it opens up our eyes to the mere possibilities.” ~ Cristina Gomez
“When we begin to ask bigger and better questions, it will have help humanity evolve for the better. It’s not just for entertainment. It’s not just to waste time because you have it. It’s to allow the brain to thrive. And I love that.” ~ Cristina Gomez
