What about UFOs?
First of all, 95 % of UFO sightings are recognized as
natural or manmade phenomena.
The 5 % are important only because of the UFO industry,
ego-trips and fantasists.
To speak about flying objects is conjectural. In my view,
UFOs are not flying and are not objects.
The UFO meme is
strong enough for some people.
A meme is "an
idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a
culture." A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or
practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, videos,
sounds, speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of
the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they
self-replicate, mutate and respond to selective pressures.
The answer can be holographic: Holography is a
technique which enables three-dimensional images to be made. It
involves the use of a laser, interference, and diffraction, light intensity
recording and suitable illumination of the recording. The image changes as the
position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way
as if the object were still present, thus
making the image appear three-dimensional.
The holographic recording itself is not an image; it
consists of an apparently random structure of varying intensity, density or
profile.
I have no idea about whom or what is behind the
phenomenon, but I am totally and absolutely convinced that the Extraterrestrial
hypothesis is forged.
Until this very moment, there is no evidence of extraterrestrial
intelligent life here or in any other place of the Universe.
There is a relatively big but totally contradictory
mythology concerning Extraterrestrials, without any kind of evidential or
rational value.
The presumed “extraterrestrial” messages are a sad mix of
New Age, Pseudo-religion, self-help and very human ideas and prejudices.
Abductions are mostly planted pseudo-memories and fantasies
or self delusions.
Same thing was with the “men in black”.
After more than forty years of research in the field, writing
and talking with many people of different ages, social positions and
professions, this is a short synthesis of what I think about the UFO
phenomenon.
