Lost Legacies and Dying UFO Long-timers

 
We have ingratiated ourselves with the sensible and erudite UFO/UAP offspring of the phenomenon: The Observer gang, Stories Lost's Jon Jakobs, Beyond Creepy's"Mr. Black" and The Rope's Damon and Amy.

The 'zine Observer crew are online and print-oriented, the others YouTubers of heft and quality videos.

They represent the best in the UFO/UAP oriented community.

(My pal Anthony Braglia is fixated on what he calls the "Porn" UFO crowd using YouTube to entertain visitors to their channels: VETTED's Patrick, Ben at Craigsight, and ChaosMoogle, three zippy UFO/UAP enthusiasts I find a little too loose and silly for the serious aspect of the long-time mystery. Tony has other favorites also.)

Here I'd like to note that favorites of mine and others in the UFO community have passed from pertinence or relevance when it comes to fast-evolving UFO and now UAP matter.

The old-timers can be found on Facebook where someone made me Adminstrator of two UFO groups, one with 4500 members and another with 1500 members. I don't know how I became involved but I plug the pages with new material daily and keep the riff-raff from posting sh*t.

On FB itself, one find the UFO old-guard and its remnants: Project 1947, UFO Updates, and other detritus from the flying saucer past.

The UFO archives trying to make their efforts worthwhile as AI takes over the lifting when it comes to finding old UFO material -- accounts and reports, magazine's, newsletters, people once notable, and all other flying saucer output of the past.

Just as those archive-dedicated persons are passé so too are the forlorn archives lying dormant in places where no (new) UFO/UAP person will tread.

And persons in the UAP news fairly recently are already passé themselves -- victims of Andy Warhol's dictum of "15 minutes of fame" -- Diana Pasulka, Garry Nolan, David Grusch, AARO's one-time head Sean Kirkpatrick, the Skinwalker ranch devotees, the Ancient Astronaut pastiche of non-edifying personnel, and the once important podcasters such as Gene Steinberg (that perpetual beggar of donations and funds to keep him personally aloft) and others who's listing of names here would be a waste of my typing.

I wanted specifically to note that my one-time Anomalist pals have fallen wayside, Bill Murphy regurgitating that UAPs errancy that he once eschewed and linking the very outdated and meaningless UFO personalities that no longer matter in the UAP scheme of things -- like "Red Pill Junkie" or Nigel Watson (who cares?) or the retirement of Magonia's John Rimmer. (These people "died" when UAP became the sobriquet for UFOs.)

Anomalist's Patrick Huyghe's name came up in a telephone conference I had with my UAP newbies last week, And the queries popped up, "Who?"

The old-timers and long-timers -- like prolific and popular author" Nick Redfern -- are considered "dead" in the metaphorical sense, and many scheduled to actually die actuarially within the year.

Change has come to UFOs and this blog will continue to note and ballyhoo it.

After all, who else will set the record straight -- the UFO geezers, the UAP entertainers, the once lauded UFO hotshots, now muted by time and modernity?
