³Though I have been mystified by the UFO phenomenon for 30 ³
|
|
³years, I'm at least bemused by the attitudes of many who ³
|
|
³haunt its meeting places, special events, lecture halls, ³
|
|
³magazines and...newsletters. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³With the certitude and messianic fervor of the chosen, they ³
|
|
³expound their cherished beliefs: "I know there's an ³
|
|
³international conspiracy to keep us from the truth!" says ³
|
|
³one. "The revelations being channelled from the Arcturians ³
|
|
³are really illuminating!" gushes another. "We have star ³
|
|
³children!" writes a lady who claims communion with ³
|
|
³Venusians. "...A powerful force from outside mankind ³
|
|
³is...driving us...into the abyss!" exclaims a European ³
|
|
³ufologist who insists the "evidence" is mounting. At least ³
|
|
³"3.7 million" men, women and children have been abducted by ³
|
|
³UFOs, concludes a recent Roper Poll - according to some. ³
|
|
³What? UFOs? Shucks, friend, they're just a lot of "ionized ³
|
|
³air," states a plasma vortex theorist, as if summarizing a ³
|
|
³stranger-than-fiction phenomenon that's been making fools of³
|
|
³folks for over 45 years. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³And, meanwhile, in the midst of all the self-indulgence and ³
|
|
³egospeak, the ubiquitous Phil Klass, who apparently sees ³
|
|
³himself as a minister to the misguided, and is seen by ³
|
|
³others as the Prime Minister of Misinformation and ³
|
|
³Misinterpretation, declaims, with equal acumen and ³
|
|
³assurance, that UFOs are all a lot of beguiling baloney and ³
|
|
³that the very idea our government is hiding information ³
|
|
³about UFOs is...unpatriotic. Whatever happened to the UFO ³
|
|
³mystery? Has it finally been solved by the disinformation ³
|
|
³lobby and the same species of simpleton who, a few decades ³
|
|
³ago, would have called it "marsh gas?" ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Has it been levitated out of consensus reality by those who ³
|
|
³channel 2,000-year-old entities, party with star people, ³
|
|
³have transcendental visions and access to revealed truths? ³
|
|
³Or has it become the tool and teething ring of "New Age" ³
|
|
³messiahs and missionaries, cultists and confabulators, ³
|
|
³hustlers and hoaxers in pursuit of emotional, psychological,³
|
|
³economic, and other misbegotten agendas? ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³There is, still, regardless of what anyone tells you, a UFO ³
|
|
³mystery. Maybe they're extraterrestrial. Maybe not. There³
|
|
³is, still, an abduction mystery. Maybe the abductors are ³
|
|
³engaging in what Flying Saucer Review calls a "broad plan of³
|
|
³generic tinkering." Maybe not. Maybe crop circles are the ³
|
|
³work of fairies, or a sign of imminent earth changes, or ³
|
|
³clever hoaxes, or unidentified natural phenomena, or a ³
|
|
³combination thereof. And maybe not. Why must we have a ³
|
|
³fixed and fatuous notions regarding such phenomena? ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Someone once claimed that just saying "I don't know," when ³
|
|
³we most assuredly do not, "know", is the beginning of ³
|
|
³wisdom. ³
