Sooner or later our new believer will consider the
possibility of selling “new ideas” to a demanding market.
After some time, our new ufologist becomes a “public
figure”, writes some books and gives lectures. She or he becomes known as
Ufologist, UFO researcher and expert.
At this stage of his career, the “expert” will have learned
a few things. One is that Ufology is the repetition ad nauseam of absolutely
unreliable conjectures and theories. 95 % of UFO sightings are identified as
natural phenomena or manmade artifacts. Ufology is a mythology composed by
incoherent statements, obvious lies, paranoia, conspiracy theory and massive,
industrial doses of non-sense.
There is however something worse. Ufology is a path of no
return. You cannot go back and try something else, something different. Once your name is associated with UFO
research, there are no alternatives. Your identification with UFO,
pseudo-science and fiction sold as fact, is irreversible. From now on, you will
always be the “guy/girl who is into the UFO-ET thing…”
So, try to find the exit if you are not yet a “public figure”,
because if you are already known in the UFO show, I’m afraid it’s too late.
