Reporting it would only continue fueling this UFO circus." <br /><br />You're no fun anymore....<br /><br />I always liked UFOs more than psychic phenomena because they, and their related elements (the abductions, car stops, men in black, etc.) were so far out there, hard to classify, and "impossible" to replicate in a laboratory. It didn't hurt that every case seemed to be slightly or greatly different than the last one; it added to the mystery. I think what started killing UFOs were the bizarro conspiracy stories, the rise of a UFO convention culture, so I agree with "purrlgurrl" on the circus element. The focus needs to go back on the sightings.Strelnikovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660962615198939441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485997200234349788.post-32059527668862933502010-10-27T18:31:32.815+01:002010-10-27T18:31:32.815+01:00Having just finished this book after re-reading Va...Having just finished this book after re-reading Vallee's Messengers of Deception, I see the entire UFO phenomenon as a quagmire of deliberate fabrications, misidentifcations, misperceptions, religious ferver, and in some cases, outright ignorance. <br /><br />UFOs are likely the most popular fairy tale of the 20th century, told and re-told by a diverse group with diverse agendas (many of them purely, even if not successfully, monetary in nature).<br /><br />If I saw something strange in the sky today, I would ignore it. Reporting it would only continue fueling this UFO circus.purrlgurrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519835482606629362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485997200234349788.post-25598325027541320942010-07-31T13:57:27.517+01:002010-07-31T13:57:27.517+01:00Reaf the Daily Mail review here:

The review takes up just over half a page. It is headed "Are UFOs just a CIA con trick?" It is a long time since I read any UFO book review in the national press.cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.com
