The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes "acclimate" as "to adapt to a new temperature, altitude, climate, environment, or situation" and "acclimation" as "the process or result of acclimating" and "physiological adjustment by an organism to environmental change."
Of course, in the case of humans, an adjustment of this kind would also be emotional, psychological, social and probably spiritual for many people.
The way our news, information and communications media deal with situations such as the Stephenville case can help this process along, or hinder it. Part of the many types of responses we might see in the media and society as a whole is probably based on the current state of acclimation to current "facts on the ground" ... and in the sky and space.
It is a big leap to go from thinking that humans are the most advanced life form around to considering that we might be in a phase of development similar to what other intelligent civilizations went through a long time ago.
Yet, gradually many people seem to be opening their minds and preparing themselves for the possibility that the many sightings and stories about UFOs might have some truth in them.
Another factor is that many patriotic Americans and people in other nations are inclined to go along with the decisions and security elements of their governments. If this is a top-secret situation, then many people respect that. We might trust that the right people are handling things in the best way.
Our dilemma is that some of these things are unclear, maybe purposely so. Are we really being prepared for the gradual awareness of unusual truths? There hasn't been an announcement on TV from national leaders about this, so does that mean that nothing of interest is going on?
Sometimes we have to read between the lines and see the forest for the trees. What is the big picture? What does our common sense tell us? What do our gut feelings, intuition and instincts say about situations such as the Stephenville sightings?
