[UFO] Research

Copyright 2020, InterAmerica, Inc.

A while back I mentioned that I was reading a book I got from the University of Chicago, The Craft of Research, Edited by Booth, Colomb, Williams, Bizup, and Fitzgerald [Fourth Edition, 2016]

(Terry the Censor asked if I might put some of the content online, which I did, a few times, but I never heard whether he saw it or not.)

Looking at the book again, I grabbed a (highlighted by me) Page 57 which as you can see tells readers the difference between “Pure” and ‘Applied” Research. (Mouse over image to enlarge.):

On page 58 is this summary of the above:

“The problem calls for applied research because only when astro- nomers know how to account for atmospheric distortion can they do what they want to – measure light more accurately.”

Do UFO “researchers” use “pure” or “applied” research when they work with a UFO sighting, report, or speculation?

Does anyone reading this?

The word “research” and the activity of “research” are much different in science and academia than in ufology, that’s certain.

And discriminating between real research and bogus research is a must if one really wants to get at the truth of the UFO phenom- enon.

(I’ll have more from the book, just in case Terry the Censor shows up, a sporadic thing for him.)

Many Gods (and many kinds of UFOs)

This from the Biblical Archaeology Society today [4/22/20]:

This goes to the heart of my continuing reminder here that the early Hebrews contended with many gods, Yahweh one of them, and the god that came to represent the Jews, often double-crossing them during their long, errant obeisance of Him.

This is a part of the screwed-up reality we find ourselves in, and backstops my contention that UFOs may be omens of more des- truction afoot.

I don't see this scenario as theological in kind but a patina of our situation that some have made into religion but actually is an anti-sublime overlay of what we, as humans, are subject to: The Game of God.

UFOs are not to be seen as part of a divine plan whatever that might be, but a real, more-than symbolic phenomenon that will tell us who controls Earth, our destiny, and everything else we think is reality.

I'll provide more on the find noted above in the BAS clip as I ac- cess it as a member of the society.

Civilized humanity

Watching [DrDee’s favorite venue] YouTube today, 4/22/20, I was gratified once more to see how charming and cultured persons in the Classical Music world are.

Young Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev played Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Malofeev

https://youtu.be/0CW6cxApOBg

(And now, as I type, the virtuoso is playing a Mozart piano concerto Number 20).

But, aside from the magnificent music, there was the applause of the audience at each end and Malofeev’s acknowlegement, for the applause and the conductor and orchestra’s accompaniment.

Such cultural refinement is not found in the UFO community, generally and certainly not among the Trump crowd or U.S. White House where a kind of primitive barbarity reigns.

 And I’m guessing that an advanced species from the cosmos lacks such refinement also.

A stab at the cultural “refinement” in the sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet hinted at a music that the planet’s depicted upper IQed Krell heard and played and while it may have been wonderful for them (the Krell) it had the adornments of ‘harmony” that didn’t click with the human visitors.

Just as the laws of physics are said to be universal so are the musical tones derived from compositions here on Earth, sup- posedly. Thus alien music should be common among ETS, as the evolutionists insist Darwin’s theory is.

But is there a Rachmaninoff, Grieg, or Mozart among the Krell-like aliens of another world? I think not.

And would the “performers” of an alien music be as charming and brilliant as Alexander Malofeev? Again, I think not.

So, we are alone, for all practical purposes, with our unique music, art, and literature, just as some of us are alone in the UFO com- munity, with only a few cultured compatriots, as in my circle…Paul Kimball and ????

UFO people we’ve lost recently?

Copyright 2020, InterAmerica, Inc.

I think it may be safe to say that CDA [Christopher Allan] is no longer with us. He’s surely not involved with the UFO community (or worse).

Daniel, a rather regular visitor here, hasn’t been heard from for some time. Has he succumbed to the pandemic?

Phil, who stopped by for a while, isn’t around either, and I don’t see him anywhere in the UFO world, not that he offered anything worthwhile.

Terry the Censor is so sporadic with his visitations that we don’t know if he’s out of commission or just safe and sound in Canada.

Zoam Chomsky hasn’t been seen here or on Facebook. That’s worrisome.

Lance Moody just gave on UFOs and ufology; too foolish for him. He’s just quiet.

MJ Banias came on big then evaporated but he has a new imprimatur of UFO’s best, but I’m thinking few care, the Canadian teacher making little headway in his search for UFO fame.

Kandinsky, a once-time elucidating UFO voice doesn’t show up anywhere nowadays; not here, not anywhere.

Matty and DrDee have resolved not to appear here – and I don’t know where else they have cachet.

Dvelys drops a note then disappears, as a UFO newbie he’s scouring the UFO world for places and people who conform to his new fascination with UFOs and the nature of reality, Greer?

There a raft of semi-biggies on Facebook but they’re mostly fooling around or resurrecting the UFO past because the current UFO pre- sent is so tawdry.

Either some UFO people are dead or metaphorically so.
