Perhaps that makes him suspicious in the eyes of true believers.<br /><br />> the doctrine of the inerrancy of eyewitness testimony<br /><br />I was a casual reader of psychology before I looked into UFOs, so I was surprised to find this long-discredited view. UFO researchers constantly clamour for science to take sightings seriously, yet on UFO Updates there is an inexhaustible hostility toward memory research in particular and psychologists in general. Many ufologists just pretend such research does not exist, or is the result of pure bias. Meanwhile, UFO fandom actively promotes a parallel folk psychology which, being improvisational, tends to get comically absurd. You saw an alien peeping in your window? Correct! You saw a cat peeping in your window? Wrong, it was a screen-memory of an alien!Terry the Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361088223337740598noreply@blogger.com
