UFOs (Ufology) as a hobby (and other recreational activity)
Copyright 2021, InterAmerica, Inc.
This past weekend, as the Summer wanes, I spent time at our lake home with my son Josh and his girlfriend, home from U of M, where they work, his girlfriend bringing her brother and his partner to share the warm days with us.
Joanna’s brother, who is a classical pianist of some note, charming as he is talented, provided an evening of Chopin and Beethoven, after which we had a vibrant discussion of interests among us. (I didn’t bring up UFOs.)

Again, it became clear to me that most persons are indulged in one or more activities that enhance their lives and to which they are existentially (in the present errant sense) obeisant.
Checking on the UFO material at Facebook, among UFO group members after returning to the city house, I’m reminded that most of these people are enchanted by and serious about the UFO phenomenon, one of my best pals here among them.
These are folks for whom UFOs are more than just a hobby; they live and breathe UFOs daily, not just during a few weekdays, but regularly.
My lake guests, like them, had interests that consume them too, things of a more cultural kind however.
For me, such friends or acquaintances make life a little more fulfilling as such avidness enlivens the daily grind of existence.
In my UFO circle, I’m lucky to share space witb Ron Press here, and with chums like Nick Redfern. John Greenewald, Beau Patrick Carrington, David Haith, Scott Corrales. José Caravaca, Bill Murphy, Kelly Emile Gauthier, Chris Savia and a few other UO enthusiasts
And among my non-UFO pals and friends I’m surfeited by
refinements of other kinds that enlighten or enhance my life.
But I’m not entranced by those who pretend to be interested in various chapters of existence, whether that be cultural interests, academic enterprises or even UFOs.
Spending the past few days with my lake guests and online with my UFO buddies and pals made for a buffet of pleasantry and well-being. What more should there be in life?
The UFO topic can be fulfilling if one takes it seriously, as Tim Hebert makes it or Cheryl Costa and Rick Hilberg do. They are not hobbyists but UFO die-hards. Ya gotta love ‘em.
I hope some of you get my message here….
