One of the oldest myths in Ufology is the opposition
between Cover-Up and Disclosure. If you do not belong to the UFO subculture,
most probably will not know what these people are talking about.
Basically, those who presumably know about the presence
of Extraterrestrial civilizations in our planet and secret ET contacts with the
government demand the “powers that be” to end the cover up.
There is a small trick here: IF the cosmic pundits are
right, cover up must include not only the governments but the whole scientific
establishment. So, the mystery here is how they manage to keep such thing
secret.
If the EXOcharlatans are right and there is aboriginal
and human life in Mars, and cities and monuments and big animals, such a
cover-up is impossible in this era of transparency and whistleblowers.
So, when some of these Disclosure friends tell you that the
massive cover-up is working, they think that you are not only an ignorant but
unable to understand the difference between the real and the imaginary.
Truth is that they have nothing more than words. Not a
single, satisfactory evidence to proof what they say it’s true.
Let’s put things in context: these EXOfantasists appeal
to a relatively small group of people. They know well that for the big media,
the UFO phenomenon is trivia.
But perhaps, behind the usual nonsense presented as
truth, and behind the New Age rhetoric of the self proclaimed contactees, there
is a serious personal problem. Some of these fantasists are intelligent and
cultured individuals. What happens to them IF they do not believe in what they
say?
If this is so, sooner or later they will pay a big price
in mental health, self-respect and social recognition.
The "promise" of UFO disclosure is a myth being
presented by people who prey on those that want to believe that the government
is evil. Unfortunately, UFOlogists have never figured out that if there were a
conspiracy that can be kept secret for over sixty years, what makes them think
that any effort is going to reveal the truth? Presidents and the media may be
really bothered by a pulp fiction writer, a washed up nuclear physicist, a
glory seeking emergency room doctor, or any other persona associated with
UFOlogy?
It is important to note that UFOlogy is not about real
scientific investigation of UFOs. It is about personalities who have found a
niche in society that allows them to satisfy their egos and appear important to
those who want to believe these stories. By promoting the myth that the US
government is concealing aliens or information about UFOs, they can continue to
write books and ask for money from credulous individuals who believe these
fictions. With that kind of sensationalism being sold, there is no reason for
many UFOlogists to really want "disclosure". This is why
"disclosure", in the sense that many in UFOlogy describe, will never
happen and why it is just another myth.
