Ufology's Badvertising

While grabbing the Google link for the 1970 Finland encounter (in the post below this one), I was put off by the advertising inserted throughout the piece.

My pal Bryan Sentes has a brilliant UFO web-site [https://skunkworksblogdotcom.wordpress.com/] also marred by advertising, because it's a Wordpress "freebie."

Frank Warren's The UFO Chronicles web-site is a hodge-podge of advertising clutter. And there are a number of other UFO sites and blogs amess with ads, mostly of a vulgar (in the defined sense) kind.

The phenomenon is already a laughing stock to sophisticates and foisting upon the topic deplorable ads merely exacerbates the patina of low-quality thinking that suffuses it.

I suggest if a person needs to use a free site, offered with a requirement to contain ads or a person hopes to grab a few ad pennies even if such grabbing besmirches their message, that they get out of the UFO business.

An odd encounter, but dubious

Dr Dee offered this sighting in a comment for another piece earlier here:

This is, I think, an insightful insertion in the objective account, linked above:

"Is it that the real UFO experience causes the witnesses to subsequently have imaginary experiences? Or was the first, like those that followed, the symptom of some psychic state, triggered by some unknown cause to bring about a UFO ‘sighting’?"
