The long-time UFO note-takers – Anomalist for instance – keeps
“promoting” what I call the UFO geezers, those people who’ve played at Ufology for years to no purpose that clarified the phenomenon.
Here’s an example from the Anomalist’s Bill Murphy – himself a UFO geezer:
Flying Saucers: The Small Sporty Models The Saucers That Time Forgot
Curt Collins offers yet another highly-illustrated and informative ode to the UFO past. Here it's "the efforts of the early saucer inventors" that have Curt's greater approval and his suggestion as "a good model to follow."
Curt Collins is not as old as some geezers but he operates as they do – continually harking back to old cases, offering nothing new.
I like old cases/reports too, but with humanity on the cusp of annihilation by non-humans or any number of other possible catastrophes, wallowing in the past seems mad to me, a nostalgic longing for a time when life was simpler and stupider.
Much old UFO crowd is tied emotionally to the past, offering nothing worthwhile towards the phenomenon that some of us take seriously, as a threat or a reality that isn’t good for humankind.
