But it always comes back to the question of why flying saucers seem to be documented only by those in the "cheap seats".
As has been said before, witness the grassroots level of the flying saucer movement. It's loaded with hucksters and carnival barkers and various other New Age freaks, not to mention Wrasslin' lovers and followers of astrology and various religions. Take the source of this thread alone, where the "author" also promotes itself as a psychic. And how about that catchy name of One World Psychics, huh? It's sure to be a Conservative crowd pleaser.
Is the Freep destined to be just another segment of the tabloid demographic?
Pffffffft.
I don’t think you’ve attended many UFO conferences nor talked to many international experts in the field.
It’s exceedingly plausible to me,
that ANY FIELD
wherein the OCCULT, NEW AGE, OLIGARCHIC GLOBALISM, SATANIC TYRANNY etc.
are involved . . . will have a lot of disinformation, a lot of hoax, a lot of hoakey, a lot of craziness, an lot of smoke and mirrors, etc. etc. etc.
Filtering out chaff and truth is not easy in such fields.
That does not mean it’s impossible.
I guess my 6 years as a librarian have helped me in that regard.
