Those who fantasize about ET spacecrafts tell us about
hundreds of UFO sightings. They do not tell us that 95% of UFOs are identified
as natural phenomena of human artifacts. The remaining 5% are conditionally
unidentified and we must accept that new investigations can identify these.
Even if the 5% remains unidentified, we cannot proclaim that
those are alien spacecraft. Why? Simply because we never saw an
extraterrestrial vehicle, and our ideas about such hypothetical “flying saucers”
come from science fiction movies and graphics.
That is why the extraterrestrial visitors’ hypothesis, not
supported by any reliable concrete evidence is nothing but science-fiction
itself. This is no problem if the self-proclaimed experts recognize that they
are proposing a hypothesis, and recognize alternative possibilities, as science
must always do.
But they give us a fantasy world with nonexistent contacts,
unreliable sources, factoids, and personal unsubstantiated ideas. Impossible
conspiracies, prophesies, new age rhetoric, and even theological postulates are
sold as books, lectures, videos and galactic diplomacy lessons.
Unfortunately money makes the difference. Selling all this nonsense
to people without alternative information and experience in critical though is
dishonest. In the worst case, these fantasies concerning alien visitors and
conspiracies can seriously harm neurotic or psychotic individuals.
