Folks, there is a core of us who want to discuss this topic in a constructive and intellectual manner. We are actually interested in this stuff, and have a knowledge base about it going back several decades. There is also topical information dating back to Medieval Times and beyond. Posts that are designed to denigrate or discredit posters and sources are much like the government sponsored attacks in the media upon people who have reported sightings and encounters. Whether you realize it or not, you are doing the job of the "Deep State".
The junk posts far outnumber posts of those who want to pursue this subject, simply because of the pile-on performed by you people. If you are even slightly decent people, please leave these threads to those who wish to participate in a wholesome and non-disruptive manner.
