Vehicle of Unknown Origin??

Greetings. Jeremy Corbell. David Charles Grusch. George Knapp. The names are well-known to members of the UFO subculture, laypeople and researchers alike. The three gentlemen have taken all the air out of the UFO room, with the UFO subculture seemingly hanging on each and every word that manages to find it's way out of their overly active mouthpieces. 

Early this morning, Mr. Corbell released an image that has been making the rounds on social media. I myself shared the image in a blog posting on my Facebook platform. The link to that blog posting is available at https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0Yjt5oHzdrehyecqnPwJzynRkrZ4w5nHExj7AUFU965qoK5JJNZhsrJNzVV3ZSYkTl&id=100063229330941&mibextid=Nif5oz

Mr. Corbell stated on his posting, and I quote "This is a military filmed UAP that was fired upon by a UK fighter jet with a missile. Despite initially being reported by mainstream media as a “hostile drone”, this vehicle of unknown origin has been officially designated by the United States, UK and allied intelligence agencies as a UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). This designation is currently maintained.

DATE / TIME - 14 December 2021

LOCATION - This image was taken above Syria.

IMAGING TYPE - Thermographic / Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR).

EVENT DESCRIPTION

In a joint operation, a Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter jet engaged an unidentified aerial vehicle using an Advanced Short Range Air to Air Missile (ASRAAM). Initial media reports labeled the unidentified as a “hostile drone” - however - internal intelligence products officially classify the aerial vehicle of unknown origin as a UAP - and maintain this designation. The UAP was not recovered.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

• For the past 15 years in CENTCOM has tracked Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP).

• No actors claimed ownership of these UAP.

• All jamming directed at UAP were assessed unsuccessful.

• Due to observation of other nations firing on the same or similar UAP, it is deduced that they are not the operators of these vehicles of unknown origin.

• Due to an abundance of sightings, some Base Defense Operations Centers (BDOCs) no longer report UAP, making the tracking or characterization of these events difficult.

• Primary qualifications for engaging an unidentified target are (a) proximity to ground troops (b) if the target appears to have - or is able to hold - a payload."

I wrote up my blog posting on Facebook this morning soon after Mr. Corbell released the image. In my haste, I overlooked one statement that has stood out ever since this morning's release: "Vehicle of unknown origin." How was that determination made? Who made that determination? Mr. Corbell stated that the image shows a "UAP," which is defined by the powers that be as an unidentified aerial phenomenon. Unidentified means just that, unidentified, so labeling the unknown a known commodity, a vehicle in this particular case, is simply indefensible, unsupportable, and a completely improper usage of the acronym.

I am guilty of nitpicking, but details are important. Vitally important. 

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.

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
