WHAT REALLY QUANTIFIES THE PHYSICAL TRACES OF THE UFO PHENOMENON? By José Antonio Caravaca

For many UFO researchers the tracks and traces (of all kinds) left behind by UFOs and their occupants are synonymous with evidence that these manifestations are real and the product of extraterres- trial visitors.

But in reality, what does this evidence suggest in the phenomeno- logical set presented by the UFOs?
 
If we take into account that in the UFO literature the incidents that show traces are fewer than those that do not present any physical evidence, we can consider, from the outset, that rather than a sine qua non effect of these manifestations, it is an almost anecdotal fact in the global set.  And therefore, we have to seriously question that the phenomenon is a conventional physical fact, because it leaves much room to consider that its "etheric", that is, non-phy- sical or psychic part is more important than the physical.
 
What happens is that most scholars drugged by the fascinating idea that we are before the unequivocal presence of one or several extraterrestrial civilizations, have shied away from investigating in depth on the evidence and psychic traces that we find in the minds of the witnesses.
 
And the curious thing is that, contrary to other types of traces, in the majority of ufological incidents there are a series of circum- stances (which can be elevated to the category of indications or evidence depending on the case) that would indicate that the psyche of the witnesses is involved in the decoding of these manifestations.

Obsessions

My pal Kevin Randle provides much at his blog – kevinrandle.blogspot.com – that edifies about material he’s published over the years, corrections, enhancements, etc.
 
But Kevin seems to be obsessed with the effects of UFOs that involve electro-magnetism or other electronic remnants reported by witnesses: car motors stalling, humming, feelings of tingling, and the like.
 
Why? Do such witness accounts tell us what UFOs are or from where they derive?
 
My buddy Tony Bragalia is immersed in Roswell’s generally over- looked details. Tony wants to crack the Roswell mish-mash that beclouds that 1947 incident.
 
Philip Mantle is obsessed with Nick Pope, to a degree that bespeaks homoerotic neuroticism.
 
Isaac Koi is determined to catalog every UFO print item ever pro- duced.
 
Jan Aldrich is also interested in back material and long-ago con- siderations about flying saucers.
 
Ancient Alien enthusiasts are submersed in supposed extra- terrestrial visitations in Earth’s past (and sometimes present).
 
And almost everyone in the UFO community tries to absorb the Luis Elizondo cascade of DoD gossip and tomfoolery.
 
But no one, or very few, is considering the scientific-oriented conversations about what our reality is – a simulation, one aspect of the many-worlds (or multiverse) possibilities, or the quantum derivatives that show nothing really exists…..
 
From the scientific ruminations, one might derive a UFO expla- nation, but no one is doing that. The UFO conversation and output is a mélange of fervid obsessions and hysteria, much more so than in the past before every Tom, Dick, and Mary got involved by way of social media.
 
The obsessions I’ve noted above are not psychiatrically disturbing but they are futile and I’m surprised at how hard my UFO chums remain attuned to or absorbed by them.
 
It’s not necessarily unhealthy but, at the same time, it isn’t very useful or helpful either, just UFO sidebars, taking up time and space, of which there seems to be a lot of.
