UFO Conjectures

If UFOs aren’t ET craft or something from another dimension/universe or time, what’s the point?

If it turns out that UFOs are, aside from mis-identified aircraft or some other mid-identified thing and end up being Hessdalen-like lights or some other meteorological or atmospheric phenomenon, the mystery resolves itself with a whimper, not a bang.

And while the psychological aspects of UFO sightings and the ramifications of UFO reports would offer grist for those interested in the mental repercussions and those contending, with how people write and interpret witness accounts, the UFO enigma would devolve to a fringe footnote that only relates to sociological disciplines.

This is actually where ufology is heading.

UFOs are unlikely to be extraterrestrial vehicles, the reported number of sightings weighing against such a conclusion, for all the reasons stated here a number of times.

And UFOs coming through a break in the multiverse or from time, past or future, is just as iffy, if not more so, than the ETH that keeps some UFO buffs awake at night.

We humans are in a muddled zeitgeist that has stuffed UFOs into a side pocket outside societal interest or concern, although some ufological die-hards insist that UFOs are still relevant and worthy of interest. They aren’t.

UFOs are a measly evidentiary topic kept alive by neurotic men (mostly) who have little or no interest in matters that count, some sacrificing their livelihoods or creature comforts to pursue UFOs as if they [UFOs] are an existential sine qua non….”existential” used in the current popular jargon for one’s existent condition.

To keep pounding the UFO pavement with blogs (like this one), or books, or TV shows, or conferences is a kind madness (insanity).

My current antipathy derives from a new book by Bill McKibben that will appear in April 2019: Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?

Which is blurbed:

“We’re at a bleak moment in human history -- and we’ll either confront that bleakness or watch the civilization our forebears built slip away.

Falter is a powerful and sobering call to arms, to save not only our planet but also our humanity.”
