Funny How it Never Seems to Happen.

Unfulfilled promises. Snippets of information that never come to fruition. Claims of groundbreaking evidence that never seem to be delivered.

Such is the modern history of the UFO problem, or should I more correctly state, such is the recent history of the UFO subculture. For a few decades now, UFO personalities have consistently made claims of videos showing aliens, as with the Varginha, Brazil case, those particular claims having been made by filmmaker James Fox. Have those alleged videos ever seen the light of day? No. Claims of physical evidence of alien visitation have been made for a few decades now, by UFO personalities like Steven Greer, Jaime Maussan, the late Clifford Stone, and Linda Moulton Howe. Has any physical evidence that has been scientifically proven to be extraterrestrial and artificially constructed been offered for the public to openly scrutinize? No. Claims of documentation concerning hospital x-ray scans, surgical procedures, and government cover-ups are made by the aforementioned James Fox, Scott and Suzanne Ramsey, and many others. Has that supposed documentation ever surfaced? No. There is a pattern here.

Several factors are consistently at play in the UFO subculture when it comes to unsubstantiated claims, and unrequited promises.

1. The truth (disclosure) is always coming, tomorrow.

2. I know something (Luis Elizondo,) but I cannot tell you.

3. Hints are always given, snippets of information (The New York Times article of December 17th of 2017,) but the other shoe never drops.

4. Witnesses are always the victim (Billy Meier, Corey Goode,) then they proceed to attack anyone who asks valid questions.

5. No research is necessary, nor is tangible evidence (experiencers,) just believe the storyteller.

The UFO subculture on full display.

On a recent podcast approximately six months ago, James Fox made a series of very firm declarations about the Varginha, Brazil case, concerning the death of a local due to their direct contact with an alien body, a video that shows the very same alien, and of a military examination of the alien's body. Then after all that, Mr. Fox used the term "supposedly" in reference to the alleged witnesses' claims. Is Mr. Fox trying to have it both ways, or is he hedging his bets, so to speak? I have not the foggiest idea, but I am not holding my breath waiting for tangible evidence or documentation to come to light. Having said all that, Mr. Fox will certainly benefit financially from his promotional efforts.

Why don't promises made to the UFO subculture ever some to fruition? Why does the UFO subculture have such a short memory?

As with the UFO problem, unexplained.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

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
