A lot of time has been spent or wasted on UFO hoaxes and
nonsense and continues to be so in 2020: Roswell still, Aztec, Ancient
astronauts, and others that you can suggest surely.
But what about such intense remembrances as that of John
Keel? Yes, he was a light in the darkness of ufology or seemed to be.
But within his nature, inside his being, was a demented
germ, a psychopathology that eventually took him from a kind of sanity into full-blown
madness, as his late UFO material indicates.
That UFO advocates still rave about him and his work – all
of it besmudged by his inherent dementia – goes to the heart of why UFOs and
“ufology” are not taken seriously or seen as worthy of real research.
The contactees did this to the flying saucer sightings of
the 1950s and Keel, himself a kind of contactee, did the same, and still
beclouds the UFO matter by acolytes of his nonsense about The Mothman and
something intruding on his mind and being in his last days.
Then there are the Men in Black, those “mythological
intruders” who have never really been evidenced, by photo or any other kind of
substantive actuality.
UFOs have been encrusted by subsidiary madness during all of
their appearances and even today when UFOs are less intrusive than have been in
the past.
With the demise of the few serious UFO researchers or the
silence of UFO buffs who’ve become rancid with age and boredom about the topic,
the phenomenon, UFOs have sunk into the miasma much as the ‘information”
disappearance within Black Holes bemoaned by Stephen Hawking et al.
Forget about John Keel, MIBs, those contactee nuts, or those
conference attendees who have social needs that are neurotic in nature, and all
those UFO enthusiasts who clog Facebook with pages of effluvia or the dregs of
their personal existence about which most of us have little or no care.
Get on with a search for a real answer to the UFO
phenomenon. That may be important, or not. We’ll have to see.
