UFOs: A lull or diminution of interest?

Copyright 2018, InterAmerica, Inc.

That there’s been a general decline in UFOs as a zeitgeistian meme – even with the DeLonge/Bigelow spurt – is patently obvious and the decline has been ongoing for some time.

But there’s more to it than just a decline in interest; the phenomenon has become iffy also.

Reading more of the old humanoid contact cases in Rosales’ books (the 1950-1954 volume my current read), many recalled stories more than outright news reports from the time such contacts allegedly took place, I find that no one today (2018) is reporting humanoid contacts and “alien abductions” have descended into the muck of foolishness pretty much.

UFO sightings are mostly of lights in the sky, and no one has produced a credible photograph even with the ubiquity of phones with cameras and photographic abilities (although tons of photos of dogs and people – selfies – are being snapped non-stop).

I’m a huge fan of Jose Antonio Caravaca’s “Distortion Theory” and “external agent” insight, even with its hazy descriptive so far in his theory’s evolution.

But Jose’s theory is only applicable to old humanoid contact cases. No one is claiming contact with aliens (extraterrestrials) nowadays.

And UFO sightings are not only on the wane but those that are reported are so unexciting that none can create interest in UFO buffs let alone the public at large.

The UFO crowd, me among them, keeps going back to old (classic) cases for their UFO fix, but how long can one maintain interest in a topic that has become turbid to the point of banality?

UFOs and ufology need a shot in the arm (or maybe the head to kill the matter off, once and for all).

Meanwhile, the slide into paranormal arcanity and/or theoretical physics and philosophical obscurantism by some ufologists and brilliant UFO off-rampers, like Bryan Sentes or Eric Wargo, often promoted by Chris Savia (for The Anomalist), are in vogue.

That’s something to keep us meandering UFO nuts enthused….for now.
