Self-defeating Ufological Publicity

Will UFOs: Reframing the Debate by Robbie Graham et al. or "A" is for Adamski: The Golden Age of the UFO Contactees by Adam Gorightly and Greg Bishop ever get a mass audience?

Or Time Loops: Precognition, Retrocausation, and the Unconscious by Eric Wargo?

Eric’s book has received some significant academic recognition but the two UFO books never will.

UFO authors kill their efforts with non-marketing titles, as those above.

And my pals Nick Redfern and Kevin Randel have kept their authorial efforts confined to the UFO/paranormal community which is pretty chintzy when it comes to buying or supporting its communal authors (or any author for that matter).

UFO enthusiasts will dole out monies to or for worthless benefits but for the struggling author or writer wannabe, monies are not forthcoming, and those writers don’t help their cause by entitling their works with a peg to the few who, here and abroad, think UFOs are still a relevant topic.

The History Channel’s forthcoming “drama” Project Blue Book is dead in the viewing water as non-UFOers have no idea what Blue Book means, let alone a project so-called.

UFO blogs (like this one) and web-sites pinned to the UFO topic are arid islands for the really dedicated and bored UFO enthusiast.

Such internet efforts are unfound and uninterested sojourns for the public at large. Even UFO buffs are selective when it comes to web sites about their once-favored topic: flying saucers or UFOs.

What the UFO pantheon of authors and web/bloggers need are marketing tools that give their forlorn topic some heft and interest in the societal scheme of things.
