We think we lost Robbie Graham as a Facebook “friend” because we knocked his new book, UFOs: Reframing the Debate.
Our take was that Robbie picked his pals and buddies rather
than truly brilliant persons to load up his book with suggestions for a new
look at UFOs; Here’s his contingent of UFO gurus:
Instead of taking the trouble of rounding up a cache of
smart UFO people – yes, there are a few – Robbie
piled into his book a group of people who are not well-known or well-regarded
among ufology’s cognoscenti.
If one wants to reframe the UFO saga, one would select a
raft of people who really have unique and substantive ideas. His gaggle is not
that group.
We would have contacted the Anomalist’s Patrick Huyghe for
suggestions or see the persons, on some UFO Facebook pages, who are offering
interesting insights that are remarkably fascinating.
One can find them on the FB pages of Isaac Koi, Gilles
Fernandez, Jose Caravaca, and Mrherr Zaar, and a few others.
We refer to people, here at this blog and elsewhere, who have intellectual
intelligence about UFOs and cachet in the UFO community, and a few show up in
Robbie’s book: Micah Hanks and Chris Rutkowski among them.
But, overall, Robbies’s cronies don’t cut the UFO mustard.
Sorry, but it’s true.
So, we’ll skip buying Robbie’s book and take the lumps that
may come my way for expressing the view presented here.
But if Ufology and UFOs are going to have a resurrection in
interest and real insights, it will have to “reframe” with a few persons with
higher IQs than those in Robbie’s mix.
