Michael Salla tries a new perception of the UFO phenomenon, but is wrong from the beginning.
He gives us three different ufological perspectives, but all of these include the ETH, extraterrestrial hypothesis as a given fact.
This is not true. Many ufologists like Dr. Jaques Vallee and the writer of this text, affirm the obvious: there are no evidences about the extraterrestrial origin of the phenomenon.
UFOs are a rare phenomenon whose nature and origin remains unknown. Contactees, deluded mystics, pseudo-scientists and professional charlatans, again and again give us class B science fiction as a fact.
The messages of the self proclaimed contactees are just a blend of New Age and pseudo-psychological rhetoric with no value at all.
The ET hypothesis is basically irrational and doesn’t resist any logical test.
Nothing valuable comes from these “aliens” at all. Presumably these cosmic civilizations came to our planet to play hide and seek and talk some theosophical nonsense.
Of course we must recognize that the whole nonsensical and old-fashioned ET hypothesis gives some humans the real possibility of making a living selling books, lectures and recycled “wisdom”.
Rational ufologists consider the UFO phenomenon as it presents to our perception, and more important, analyze the so called UFO subculture and its metaphors.
The UFO subculture teaches us nothing about extraterrestrial life, but a lot about us, human beings.
UFOlogy’s Grand Deception – hiding the truth about human looking extraterrestrials
August 5, 2011. Michael E. Salla, Ph.D.
Ask any UFOlogist about the reality of extraterrestrial life, and you’ll most likely get one of three versions of what is happening. The first is that we have been witnessing UFOs since the mid-1940s that offer abundant physical evidence of other worldly technologies sighted in our skies. This leads to the conclusion that some UFOs are extraterrestrial space vehicles observing our world, especially locations where nuclear weapons were being developed or stored. The second most popular version is that since the early 1960s, short “gray aliens” have been abducting people for genetic experimentation. The third is that some UFOs have crashed, and that strange looking “gray aliens” have been recovered along with advanced technologies for study in classified reverse engineering programs.
