One UFO sighting/report – only one – creates the UFO reality

My brilliant pal Zoam Chomsky [Aaron Sakulich – The Iron Skeptic] is deplored by some UFO enthusiasts because he continues to rail against the idea of a UFO reality, stating recently, in a comment here, that since no one has ever touched or handled a UFO, such a thing as a UFO does not exist.

Of course that position is loopy.

If we stopped believing in everything not touched, we’d eliminate almost the totality of reality that makes up our social (civilized) milieu, and has since time immemorial.

If a feebleminded person said he or she saw something odd in the sky, that they couldn’t identify, and called it an Identified Flying Object, they will have created a reality.

The words create the reality, as does the observation, which one assumes to be true as reported, since feebleminded individuals lack the capacity to lie; they can misperceive but they can’t lie. [See Feeblemindedness (Oligophrenia; hypophrenia), Page 298, Psychiatric Dictionary. Fourth Edition, Hinsie/Campbell M.D.s]

As in quantum theory – The measurement (observation) of an event creates that event – a thing seen or reported to have been seen creates the thing: reapse or de facto.

I suggest that Zoam seek out, again, his online namesake: Noam Chomsky:

And some of you this:

Or peruse Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

This may get us to a point where all the nonsensical back-and-forths evaporate and we can concentrate on UFOs – things real and enigmatic, if not quite earth-shattering or existentially (in the present/common vernacular) important.
