You will never
read this in the books written by professional ufologists:
It is estimated that 95-98% of all sightings have
straightforward explanations which include astronomical phenomena (meteors,
planets or bright stars low in the sky), atmospheric phenomena (clouds,
lightning in all its forms, mirages, and a host of effects which science hasn't
even cataloged let alone understood), and man-made phenomena (aircraft,
balloons, blimps, kites, etc.). The remaining fraction is largely attributable
to a variety of psychological phenomena. Illusions and outright hoaxes
constitute a small fraction of UFO reports.
UFO professionals
find the solution for the absence of evidences: Conspiracy..!
Belief in alien visitations only can survive the total lack
of evidences thanks to the conspiracy theory. Presumably the physical evidence
of alien visitations is being kept from the general public by the governments the
scientific establishment and the aliens themselves. This is important, since without
a conspiracy theory, belief in alien visitations is simply untenable, because
the absence of evidences. Even a credulous audience will, after some time, find
the rhetoric of the self proclaimed experts unbelievable.
Popular Ufology
consists entirely of claims, and it is only these claims that are available for
study.
We cannot study the UFO itself because it is unidentified by
definition and also a transitory phenomenon. Consequently, truth is that we
have a mountain of claims about aliens and no physical evidence that aliens
even exist. The tricky work of the professional ufologists is to make us
believe the unbelievable and buy their books.
However this is a
dangerous game.
Those who make a living selling misinformation are responsible.
The insistence in conspiracies, secret governments and malevolent agents is
poison in a paranoid personality.
We have already the tragic experience of a UFO cult that
ended in mass suicide. Also we must consider the abusive manipulation of some “abductees”
in the so called regressive hypnosis, which by the way, is not recognized as
valid evidence by the justice.
