The Chaff has Ascended to the Throne.

Greetings. The UFO subculture has new kings, whether they like it or not. 

Unfortunately, the new kings of the UFO kingdom don't provide specific details, nor do they provide any valid documentation to support their claims. They do however, resort to name calling and less than professional commentary about people who are not enamored with what they have to offer, and what they don't provide to their subjects. In addition, the new rulers are not open and completely transparent about the information they provide and the sources they allegedly have contact with. Who am I referring to? I am writing about King Jeremy Corbell and his sidekick King George Knapp, the "royalty" of the UFO subculture. 

The historical leadership of the UFO subculture can lay claim to some outstanding names, all doggedly committed researchers of the UFO problem. Back in the 1960's Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Dr. James E. McDonald, and the Lorenzens, Coral and Jim, collectively led the UFO field. In the 1970's the power shifted to an extent to Stanton Friedman and Ted Phillips. By the 1980's and 1990's the throne was occupied by Kevin D. Randle and Donald R. Schmitt. All the leaders of the UFO realm were dedicated to their craft, followed the evidence, were open and transparent, and were willing to call UFO cases what they often were, hoaxes, mundane and/or explained. 

However, when the new millennium arrived, so did the "ufological riff-raff." Nick Pope, Bob Lazar, Steven Greer, Linda Moulton Howe, among others. Some frauds, some celebrities, all personalities. Once upon a time, in a galaxy known as the Milky Way, researchers attained a level of notoriety as a direct result of their investigative work, but nowadays "researchers" and celebrities gain fame and notoriety without having done any substantive investigative work. Just ask Ryan Sprague. In 2024, and in the years leading up to the present day, this situation has become the norm, with the UFO subculture having completely moved past legitimate work and into the cozy lap of ufotainment luxury. It is a situation that will likely never change, with the field of ufology on the brink of extinction. 

Now we have Kings Corbell and Knapp, with their never-ending flow of hoaxed videos, their unsupported claims, and their holy grail of unspecified sources which are never ever identified by name. Despite that, they have a solid base of dedicated followers that completely fall in line behind the two gentlemen and their sensational rhetoric. If the kings would provide proof, then their reign would be supportable, however, that is not the case in the kingdom, and all may be lost.

Welcome to the world of ufology in 2024.

Thank you for your interest and support.
