Errol Bruce-Knapp is a person from Canada who holds sway over a web-location called “Virtually Strange Network” which houses a sub-stratum forum called UFO UpDates, that has been around for a little more than a decade.
UFO UpDates is, currently, a peripheral UFO site, eclipsed by many other forums, blogs, and web-sites with more import and substance.
A few old-guard ufologists are still habitués of UFO Updates, but the new breed of ufologists, a younger, more imaginative group, eschews UpDates, and EBK, as he likes to be mantled, and his site has lost cachet in the overall UFO community.
EBK is a martinet, controlling input to UpDates with a heavy hand, thus censuring and censoring content to the point that a mean-spirited extra-terrestrial bias is the main focus of the almost illiterate content now suffusing the forum.
Bruce-Knapp has, over the past years, surrounded himself with and has promoted power-seekers, self-promoters, sycophants and perverts.
UpDates hasn’t furthered the UFO cause but, rather, has decimated new-thought about UFOs and provided a rift in the UFO community, albeit an inconsequential one, that only a few delusional die-hards pay heed to.
We consider Errol Bruce-Knapp to be a person with subversive tendencies, subversive in the sense that he has undermined ufology and scientific inquiry by extolling ideas and reprobates who have no idea what the UFO phenomenon might be and who have provided nothing that might explain the profound mystery.
UpDates is a kind of virus, one that has antecedents in the fascist movement of the 1930s and 1940s, where one person and a few lackeys subverted political thought and activity for obtuse purposes.
EBK’s efforts have been on the wane for a while now, but the pollution of thought he’s engendered is lauded by persons who have been hypnotized by his seemingly mild-mannered demeanor, which actually masks an authoritarian, defensive psyche that only has succeeded to some extent because members of the UFO community are easily gulled by charlatans (George Adamski for instance).
A few mid-lifers in ufology seek out EBK and UpDates to further their personal agendas, but, fortunately, those who are not inclined to self-glorification search for the UFO truth elsewhere, leaving EBK, UpDates, and its retinue to wallow in their moribund and decrepit UFO detritus.
And this is how the UFO mystery will eventually come to a positive denouement.
