Feeding the UFO Chickens.

Greetings. The UFO subculture has made some truly revealing statements in recent days, some coming from some notable individuals. Let's take a candid look.

The recently released AARO report has become a talking point for many in the UFO subculture, with a good percentage of the conversation focused on the report's shortcomings. Now while the historical errors and inaccuracies contained within the pages of the AARO report are certainly troubling and inexcusable, the same could be said about the vast majority of the UFO literature. Such errors can be found in most UFO books and papers, but strangely, nobody has ever shouted from the ufological mountaintops to complain about those informational missteps. As it pertains to the AARO report, many have taken up residence at the summit of Mt. Soapbox, an ideal spot to pick at the report's shortcomings, all the while taking the focus off the report's valid and scientifically defensible conclusions. 

The persons shouting from Mt. Soapbox are loud and numerous, many having a good deal of experience examining the UFO issue. Mr. Robert Powell, of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, recently wrote up a lengthy opinion piece on X (Twitter,) and completely avoided addressing the important issue, the lack of evidence of alien visitation. Instead, like many others, Mr. Powell attempted to provide some written misdirection to take the reader's eye off the ball. The total lack of evidence. 

The UFO chickens picking the feed they want, picking at what they don't. 

On the other hand, Mr. Barry Greenwood, a highly experienced author, archivist, researcher, and board member of Expanding Frontiers Research, recently wrote up a comprehensive examination of the AARO report. Mr. Greenwood's writeup thoroughly examines the errors and historical inaccuracies contained in the report, but, unlike Mr. Powell and others in the UFO "field," Mr. Greenwood does not lose sight of the ultimate conclusion. The total lack of evidence. 

No chickens in sight, just focused logic.

Now am I stating that I am willing to overlook the errors contained in the pages of the AARO report? Absolutely not. However, I will not take my investigative eye off the ball. The total lack of evidence. What I find hilarious is when people question what Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick says, demanding evidence or documentation, yet those same people don't make the same demands from people they choose to believe.

Talk about hypocritical chickens. They are feeding quite well nowadays, picking, and picking, and picking.
