UFO enthusiasts only want answers, that’s all

Copyright 2019, InterAmerica, Inc.

People buzzed about the UFO phenomenon don’t want conjectures or far-out explanations about it.

They want answers, even if those answers are not what they want to hear.

The problem is that there is no answer or answers for the phenomenon. When Zoam Chomsky, Lance Moody, or CDA write that the UFO story is today what it was in 1947, they are correct.

When the phenomenon popped up in the public ether, Zoam insists that it was a zeitgeistian folly, a nothingness without any reality at all.

That’s a harsh, irrational position, but there it is.

Even hardcore believers in the “reality” of the phenomenon are perplexed by the lack of evidence for any UFO event or sightings, despite reams of photos and reports by people who seem to have a core of normalcy about them.

Every “explanation, skeptical or otherwise, is tantamount to gossamer despite some circumstantial overlay, pro or con.

Every film or photo or story is flawed, or without any concrete element to cement it to an explanation, any kind of rational explanation.

Everyone in the UFO community – and that includes the skeptics – is desirous of an explanation for the things known as UFOs, a terminology that exists even if the things referred to by the terminology do not.

UFO fanatics will follow those who have a pastiche of material that hints at an explanation that fits the “facts” of a UFO sighting or event, even if those hints are just as will-o’-wispy as the supposed UFOs themselves.

Being theoretical about UFOs doesn’t gather fans, nor does non-determinate skepticism neither.

Having an odor of an explanation is what holds UFO buffs in place. Anyone or anything that smacks of an explanation, again, pro or con, will hold a ufologist to one’s bosom.

UFO folks just want an answer for the phenomenon, any answer or real explanation will do.

Enough with the postulations or denials.

UFOS are a surreal expression of a superior cognitive reality by Jose Antonio Caravaca

Copyright 2019, Jose Antonio Caravaca

Surrealism began to develop in Paris in 1924 with the publication of the "Surrealist Manifesto" by André Breton, "who believed that the post-war historical situation demanded a new art that delved into the deepest depths of the human being in order to understand man as a whole.” Breton said that surrealism: "is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of association scorned until its appearance and on the free exercise of thought. It tends to destroy definitively all the remaining psychic mechanisms and to substitute them in the resolution of the main problems of life.”

The definition is clear: For the surrealists the work is born of pure automatism, that is to say, any form of expression in which the mind does not exercise any type of control. Surrealists try to capture by means of abstract or figurative symbolic forms the images of the deepest reality of the human being, the subconscious and the world of dreams. For which they use resources such as: animation of the inanimate, isolation of anatomical fragments, incongruent elements, metamorphosis, fantastic machines, relationships between nudes and machinery, evocation of chaos, representation of automatons, spasms and empty perspectives.

Hidden and forbidden thought will be a source of inspiration, in eroticism oneiric realities are discovered, and sex will be treated in an impudent way. They were also interested in the art of primitive peoples, the art of children and the insane. They will prefer long, ambiguous, mysterious titles, which means that the matter was more important than the realization itself.”

UFOs work in a similar way. It is some kind of higher expression of consciousness that has chosen a language that goes beyond the verbal and the everyday. The UFO phenomenon uses psychological springs of rupture with our ordinary reality to provoke a deeper look at the inside the human psyche. I am convinced that only the study of the existing relationship between the UFO paradigm and the psyche of the witnesses involved can lead us to the resolution of the enigma...
