Two things: crashed UFOs and crashed John Keel

The continuing sagas of crashed UFOs are intellectually disturbing, are they not?
Does it seem likely that an advanced extraterrestrial or inter- dimensional species would be incapable of piloting or traversing the Earth safely after coming a long way through space or time?
 
That UFOers continue to beg the question is more than disappointing. It’s irksome and that the idea smothers the UFO topic should be called out by the sensible rest of us.
 
And unrelated is this: I saw a clip of Richard Gere in his movie about the Mothman, a portion that introduces the John Keel assertion that he (Keel) was introduced to the odd person calling himself Indrid Cold.
John Keel’s descent into madness is without question among those familiar with the symptoms of mental equivalence.
 
The “Indrid Cold” character or hoaxer playing with Keel is the leading edge of Keel’s eventual consuming madness.
Yes, Keel wrote and investigated judiciously some aspects of flying saucers and the paranormal, but in his final outings and works he was a troubled human being, some saying that attention to such matters causes the “insanity” – and there may be something to that.
But, no matter what, John Keel’s oeuvre is marred by the possibility that it is the product of an addled mind. To put a profound gloss on his output is its own kind of madness.
