Rest Assured! The Game is Still Afoot.

Greetings. I am often accused of being very negative in my writings and observations about the UFO community. Guilty as charged, although it must be stated that there is quite a bit of counterproductive stuff going in within the confines of the UFO community, so my grumpy approach is warranted. I have always felt that if important issues are not addressed, if we don't open our mouths, then our collective silence makes us a part of the problem. I will not keep quiet. Ever.

Having said all that, there are several individuals and organizations that deserve our full support and encouragement.

The San Antonio Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, led by SAPRO President Venus R. Pullin, is a scientifically minded organization that promotes valid information and legitimate investigative efforts. The organization's approach is a credit to Venus' integrity and leadership, with her passion for investigating the UFO problem on full display. The late Coral Lorenzen would be proud!

The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies is a think-tank comprised of accomplished and credentialed people who have decades of experience examining the UFO issue. The SCU has members who hold advanced degrees in a wide variety of fields, all of whom apply their knowledge to the investigative effort. I am proud to be able to call SCU member Rich Hoffman a friend, even more proud to call SCU member Venus R. Pullin my wife!

Expanding Frontiers Research is a new addition to the archival and investigate effort. Led by Executive Director Erica Lukes, the organization takes a data driven approach to the UFO problem, which includes looking at the UFO issue from a historical perspective. With the assistance of Jack Brewer and Barry Greenwood, Expanding Frontiers Research is one of the few organizations that maintains a high level of integrity, keeping far away from the nonsense. Once again, I am proud to call Erica Lukes a friend!

Finally, The National UFO Historical Records Center. Led by David Marler, an outstanding archivist and researcher of the UFO issue, the NUFOHRC is actively acquiring historical documentation, case studies, and other such material for safe keeping and thorough examination. Historical data allows modern UFO researchers to place newer events in a proper perspective, so the efforts of NUFOHRC are absolutely essential. Assisting in the effort are Jan Aldrich and Barry Greenwood, a busy gentleman to say the least. Bravo gentlemen!

It is heartwarming to know that the efforts of these aforementioned organizations, and a few others I did not mention here, are keeping the search for answers to the UFO problem alive and well. Yes, we still have the nonsensical content being promoted by MUFON, Richard Doty, Steven Greer, Jaime Maussan, Linda Moulton Howe, and the UFO entertainment industry, but they don't offer any hope of real answers, all they offer is nonsense, and a road to nowhere. 

As far as the organizations that I mentioned, they are all outstanding! All worthy of our full support and encouragement! None are part of the UFO entertainment industry. The San Antonio Aerial Phenomena Research Organization can be reached at https://www.facebook.com/sanantonioaerialphenomenaresearchorganization. The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies can be reached at https://www.explorescu.org/. Expanding Frontiers Research can be reached at https://www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/. The National UFO Historical Records Center can be reached at https://nufohrc.org/. I strongly encourage you all to take a long look at their highly focused, professional, and straightforward efforts to examine and investigate the UFO enigma.  

We still have hope. Rest assured. The game is afoot.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

  2. Thank you for this information, William, and for helping us to separate the wheat from the chaff as far as reliable "experts" deserving of our attention. BTW, I appreciate the "grumpy" approach you bring to the subject.

Liars, Frauds, and Misrepresenters.

Greetings. I am occasionally asked why I write about so many of the troubling issues within the UFO subculture. One reason, actually two. One, because the troubling issues exist, and I cannot in good conscience simply ignore them. Two, I am passionate about the UFO question, and I care deeply about the integrity of the entire UFO subculture, even though I am not an active participant in the movement.  There are many outstanding people involved in UFO research, individuals with integrity, an unshakable commitment to the work, and a high level of professionalism. They consistently grind the research stone in the never-ending effort to solve, or at the very least, learn about the UFO problem and it's innumerable questions. I cannot offer enough kind words of support and encouragement to those people, they are all deserving of our accolades, for they conduct their workmanlike efforts behind the scenes, without attention, out of the limelight, and beyond the prying eyes of the UFO subcu

Cringeworthy Promotion, Dolan Style.

Greetings. Mr. Richard Dolan is one of the most well-known figures in the UFO subculture. Known as a historian of the UFO topic, Mr. Dolan has commented at length about the UFO problem on various platforms, on broadcast media, during his own show, and on various social media outlets.  Mr. Dolan is a highly active participant on the UFO circuit, making appearances at many UFO themed festivals and conferences, actively promoting himself throughout. Now the simple act of promotion is not necessarily a negative course of action, but it is strongly suggestive of a change of course. In UFO circles, the act of self-promotion is a slippery slope, one that many well-known public figures have fallen into, some seemingly by accident, others by choice. Mr. Dolan seems to have chosen his course of action, and is apparently quite comfortable in his new surroundings.   Some UFO researchers have lost their professional credibility and integrity in the name of fame, notoriety, and financial gain. It ha

MUFON: Peddling Nonsense or Unknowingly Ignorant?

Greetings. The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) was once a legitimate investigative organization. Back in the 1970's, the organization worked alongside, but not in cooperation with, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) and the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP.) By the 1990's, MUFON was the only game left in town, with APRO and NICAP having passed into UFO history. In recent years, the organization's focus has shifted away from UFO investigations towards the UFO entertainment industry and the nonsensical content it embraces. The organization has experienced several setbacks in recent years, self-inflicted wounds that tended to occur at the upper echelons of the organization, with the names Jan Harzan, John Ventre, and Steve Hudgeons immediately coming to mind. Despite this situation, there are several local chapters that have maintained a level of investigative focus and legitimacy, keeping the chaos of the higher organization at arm's
