I always just assumed the “crazy shit for everyone” theory was the case, they just didn’t have the scientific understanding to describe it. 100 years later those crazy descriptions had been analyzed to death.

Lower Decks basically confirms that everyone is encountering crazy stuff all the time though.
I love it. Like they all know him as this overzealous explorer-type with a flair for the dramatic, but he's bored as hell staring at empty space all day.
