Chris Lehto presents (seriously but light-heartily) the Ryan Graves POLITICO article. (This is the new UFO community)
Since Google's UFO News Alerts for 3/7 are still about Spielbergs' UFO belief give a read of our Observer pals' second parter on wandering windows
Those incomplete investigations of UFO incidents (sightings, encounters, photos, etc.)

In trying to extrapolate patterns (and “data”) from within UFO reportage, I’ve become aware that there is missing information that may be vital to what is being investigated or examined.
I won’t delve into the missing information in the usual UFO sighting (but may present, later on, the flawed procedures in many classic cases).
However, while reviewing the UFO encounter literature provided by the Rosales, Caravaca, Dennett collections, I find what may be essential missing (for investigational purposes) information on ingredients ingested by witness(es): were any taking medicines (or even ate unusual foods and drinks on a regular basis?).
A mail piece I got recently had, on its outer envelope, a list of the side effects of common medications that people take for various health reasons.
Under a Category heading, Psychoses/hallucinations, there is this:
Notice the somewhat common “drugs” – excluding those used for recreational purposes, such as LSD, Marijuana, Alcohol et cetera -- Benadryl (for allergies), Celebrex (for inflammatory pain), Tagamet (for acid reflux, ulcers), Valium (for alcohol withdrawal, seizures), et cetera.
There are a number of things that persons may have ingested that provoke an hallucinatory episode.
This would also apply to some sighting cases – like Kenneth Arnold’s or even an iconic incident like the Socorro/Zamora incident.
My point is that in almost all – I’d say all actually – UFO sightings or encounters (alleged abductions too) no investigator or researcher has bothered to ask about the medicinal, food, or drink intake of UFO witnesses, before their experience.
And there are other factors not gathered by investigators of UFO events. (That for another time.)
