"Non-human intelligence," or NHI, is a term commonly found in Ufology, and has no direct relationship with the computer science term "artificial intelligence," or A.I. Instead, the term "non-human intelligence" is used by ufologists to denote non-human entities of potentially (but not always) non-Earth origins (i.e., extraterrestrials) who clearly possess intelligence and technological sophistication. The term is also extended to any robots or androids or drones or A.I.s who either accompany or assist the primary (and presumably biologic) intelligences. Such robots or androids or drones or A.I.s who accompany the primary intelligences are also called "exotic technology" or "non-human technology" or even "non-human A.I." The craft or ships or vehicles in which the intelligences travel (in the accompaniment of their robots, and androids, etc.,) are called "exotic technical craft of non-human origin" or just "non-human craft."
The most important criteria needed before any technology can be called "non-human" is that it must be determined with utter confidence that the technology is not merely a specimen of top secret tech from either the US military or a foreign military such as China or Russia. Once it's been firmly demonstrated that "it isn't ours, and it isn't theirs either," only then can it be officially dubbed "of non-human origin."

The Pentagon denies that they have been in contact with non-human intelligences for many decades now. But the myriad government warehouses full of crashed UFOs and exotic materials indicate otherwise.

The term "E.R. Car" is used to illustrate how much money a trip to a local hospital emergency room (local E.R.) will cost. So if the typical price of a car runs anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 for a used car, and then anywhere from $30, 000 to $70,000 for a new car, then it is not unreasonable, in today's American healthcare environment, to equate the price of one car to the cost of one emergency room visit.
A similar term is "E.R. House," used to describe the cost of emergency room care for a truly catastrophic medical situation where the price of just one emergency room visit equates to the price of a buying a house.

"I got taken to the emergency room in an ambulance, and after all the x-Rays, all the blood work, all the CT scans and after consulting with four different specialists, the emergency room sent me home and then billed me for over $45,000. That was my first ever E.R. Car in my whole life, and I hope it was my last."

In Ufology, “transmedium” describes any craft (any UFO) which is spotted while in flight passing from the air and into the water, or else from water into air. Once the UFO is in the water, it is then classified as a USO, or an Unidentified Submerged Object. Conceivably, a transmedium craft can (by definition) likewise pass from the air and into outer space, and also pass through other permeable substances as lava, mud, or sand. However, virtually 100% of all accounts of transmedium behavior have described transmedium craft as passing back and forth between air and water.
Witnesses who have seen transmedium craft passing from air to water and (vice versa) universally claim the craft they saw made the transition from one medium to the other smoothly, seamlessly (neither accelerating nor decelerating), and exhibited no degree of compensation or recalibration to its velocity or trajectory.

The passengers on the yacht all looked up and beheld a UFO flying across the sky above the open sea. It seemed at first to the onlookers to be heading downward into what they assumed would be a controlled crash or a water landing. But then they saw the UFO pierce the water and disappear beneath the surface, proving itself to be a transmedium craft.

A term first coined by UFO researcher, Richard Dolan, back in 2010. The term is his description of a particularly wealthy and powerful sub-set of the human race whom he believes have been secretly amassing for themselves exotic and highly advanced technology. Via this hoarding of high tech for themselves (and by keeping it from the rest of the world) these highly-placed elites actually live secret, hidden lives of extreme opulence and leisure. He has even postulated that via this advanced tech, they have built separate cities for themselves, located ether in remote places (such as underground, or on the ocean floor, or within the mountains of Antarctica, etc), or even off world.
The 2013 Matt Damon movie "Elysium" had a similar premise involving a massive, self-sustaining city that orbited the Earth and was the exclusive domain of the very wealthy. The only difference here is that in the movie "Elysium," the titular orbital city was not a secret, but rather its existence was fully known about by all peoples of Earth who could clearly see it orbiting overhead. The city was merely inaccessible to anyone who was not a wealthy elite.

The wealthy elites of the world have built for themselves a breakaway civilization, separate from the rest of the unwashed masse, where they enjoy technology far advanced from what we currently have.

In ufology, a USO is an Unidentified Submerged Object, which is really a UFO spotted traveling under water.
Most sightings of USOs have been by people while at sea, especially naval personnel. But less common sighting involve USOs emerging from or entering inland bodies of water such as lakes and rivers. The eyewitness accounts of USOs entering and exiting water describe the undertaking as seamless and virtually effortless on the part of the craft, which neither slows down nor compensates in any way when passing form one medium to the next.
Because USOs exhibit the ability to travel through both air and water, they are referred to as being "transmedium craft."

The seaman looked down from the rail of the ship and saw a large shape moving quickly through the ocean waters below, and so he at first thought he was seeing a strange-shaped whale. But then when it *swam* up out of the water and into the air, covered with lights, and zoomed off into the clouds, that's when he realized he had just seen a USO.

A Confidential Human Source, or CHS, is an informant who covertly provides information to law enforcement about criminals and their activities. Their names are withheld from official law enforcement reports and documents to protect their identities.
Some critics of law enforcement claim that some instances of an alleged CHS are a mere fabrication, and there never was an actual human who provided the information. These critics claim that in such cases where the law enforcement agents fabricated the CHS did so as justification for a search warrant or other similar legalities of an investigation.

A EULA (End User License Agreement) is a contract a manufacturer makes you sign before they let you buy or lease their product. Products that come with a EULA (pronounced "YOO - lah") are high-tech, big-ticket items: cars, cell phones, appliances, etc. EULAs contain do's & don't's for using a product. Violating the EULA will usually void the warranty.
A EULA is not the same as a TOS (Terms of Service Agreement). A TOS is for a service, not a physical object.
Legally, a EULA gives you permission (gives you a "license") to use the product after you buy it. Presumably, the manufacturer can "revoke" that "permission" at any time, and they will do so by remotely shutting down the product (called "bricking" your product), rendering it inoperable.
The language of a typical EULA includes "hold harmless" clauses to protect the manufacturer from lawsuits. Additionally, you will (usually) be agreeing to let the manufacturer gather personal data about you via the product. This includes your locations, shopping habits, medical information, sexual orientation, etc. A EULA will also usually dictate that you resolve disputes via arbitration (not lawsuits), and stipulate that the arbiter will be hired by the manufacturer (so the arbiter works for the manufacturer, and will do as they say).
EULAs will become more common as modern manufacturers move away from the business model of selling things, and embrace the model of leasing things. That way, "you will own nothing and be happy."

I tries to read the EULA (End User License Agreement) that came with my new cell phone, but it was over 30 pages long, so I just gave up and signed it anyway. I hope that by signing it, I didn't agree to anything too crazy.
