First of all, remember that in contemporary Ufology there
is nothing new, and if you try to convince your hypothetic readers that you
have some special knowledge, just use the imagination.
Some decades ago, there was ufological research on the
field, but today, as Dr. Michael Salla recognized, everything can be found in
the internet.
The term "UFO" (or "UFOB") was officially
created in 1953 by the of U.S. Air Force (USAF) to replace the words
"discs", "saucers" and even “flying cigars”.
You should be
careful with this, because sooner or later you will need to write about
conspiracy theory, and remember: always the imaginary cover-up is responsible
for the total absence of evidences.
Honestly I don’t know if this will work, but please..! Do
not think in old-fashioned and outdated elements like the “men in black”. After
a few comedies, men in black are finished in Ufology.
Also, you should be very careful with the ET abductions,
because soon abductions will be totally obsolete. Just touch Betty and Barney
Hill “experience” if necessary.
However, forget everything about George Adamski, the
contactee who, decades ago, made various claims about his meetings with
telepathic aliens from nearby planets. It’s not necessary to write about handsome
aliens from Venus, even if you use several times the name of Tesla and the word
“quantum”. Nobody will believe you.
Also, put out of your mind the “anonymous sources”. This
doesn’t work anymore and your reader probably will want his/her money back.
By the way, be extremely careful with the Roswell UFO
crash. Hundreds of books and magazines and videos talk about the Roswell
incident…enough is enough! Your book will look pathetic.
So, what remains is just imagination. Yes, I know that
imagination and some nice graphics are not enough for a best-seller.
Truth is that I don’t want to waste your time or mine.
How about writing something else?
Think about spiritual advice, cosmic alchemy, tarot or a
dreaming guide, and forget about UFOs.
You cannot sell the same fantasies again and again.
