There are indeed honest UFO researchers. Some of them tell
the public the truth: Investigative journalist Leslie Keen, author of the 2011
book “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record,” has
noted that in roughly 90 to 95 percent
of UFO sightings, observers turn out actually to have seen weather balloons,
ball lightning, flares, aircraft, and other mundane phenomena.
It's generally accepted that 95 percent of all sightings are easily dismissed. Some turn out to be
conventional aircraft, others are satellites or weather balloons -- and then
there are the hoaxers with Photo shopped concoctions.
Kevin Randle confirms that the conventional wisdom is that
there are very few hoaxes in the UFO field. Researchers suggest that 90 to 95 percent of all UFO sightings can
be explained in the mundane as simple misidentifications of natural phenomena,
misidentifications of aircraft or balloons, or as normal things seen under
abnormal conditions. Of that 90 or 95 percent, some, maybe two percent are
hoaxes, according to the researchers.
The public's
fascination with UFOs is a modern expression of an age-old enchantment with
remarkable events in the skies, notes Albert Harrison, professor emeritus of
psychology at the University of California–Davis and author of the 2007 book
Starstruck: Cosmic Visions in Science, Religion, and Folklore.
For the UFO industry, that 95 % of natural phenomena are
taboo for several reasons. First it makes less credible the conspiracy theory
that relies in the argument that the government and the Army are worried about
the “massive” UFO presence. What we truly have a massive misidentification, so
it’s perfectly possible that the remaining 5 % in no way represents a problem
for the powers that be.
However, professional story-tellers waste time (and book buyer’s
money) with fallacies, faked sources, impossible conjectures and obvious
nonsense. What we have is not a massive presence of UFO, but a colossal mass of
fiction sold as fact.
Besides if it’s true that there is a cover up of the UFO “truth”,
why the world intelligence agencies don’t care about what ufologist say?
The answer is simple:
they don’t care because UFO are a psycho-social phenomenon, and second because
they see with “sympathy” the inconsequential ET-UFO-Conspiracy rhetoric which
is the real cover-up of many big problems that have nothing to do with Unidentified Flying Objects.
