Prattle About Bupkis.

Greetings. UFOs, or the other acronym, have been the subject of quite a bit of chatter in recent years. The tumult is almost deafening. 

Back in decades prior, discussions about the UFO problem tended to focus on the issue itself, witness testimonials, sighting reports, and the results of the field investigations actually conducted at the time. The UFO subculture seemed to be less enamored with the sensationalized aspects of the topic, with some notable exceptions. As time has irrevocably progressed, the situation has changed, and not for the better. 

Putting aside the entertainment wing of the UFO subculture, the lion's share of the rhetoric nowadays is centered around the claims and promotional activity of only a few well-known individuals. The Ross Coultharts of the UFO world have become the center of attention, all as a result of the public's fascination with unsubstantiated claims and declarations, with such statements completely void of anything tangible, with nothing of any substance ever coming to the surface. Add the Corbell/Knapp tag team, and the situation in the UFO subculture has become akin to professional wrestling; scripted content, all fake, all highly produced to bring in more suckers and hangers-on. We even have liars like Nick Pope and Richard Doty to follow and embrace, which many uninformed sheep do in UFO circles. 

So the prate is of balloons, faked videos, claims of knowledge without evidence, and whistle-blowers who simply peddle the same recycled information. That is about it. No discussion of new unexplained events. No discussion of investigative research or the results of field investigative work. The limelight is squarely on people like David Charles Grusch and his associates, and not anywhere in the vicinity of the actual UFO problem, people sighting unidentified flying objects. Even the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies has allowed itself to fall into the ufological rabbit hole of excrement, with the aforementioned Ross Coulthart being announced as the keynote speaker for the organization's upcoming conference. If Mr. Coulthart would simply provide names and details to back up his statements, specifics he himself says are in his possession, then the SCU would not look so bad, but Mr. Coulthart does not, and keeps talking out of his anus, instead of his journalistic mouth. We can all wave goodbye to the credibility of the SCU, never to return. Talk about losing it in a single swift dropkick.

Where are all the quality UFO sightings? Where are all the abduction cases? Where are all the landing cases? Where are all the multiple witness sightings? The UFO problem itself is disquietingly quiet, with all the pandemonium being made by everyone and everything else attached to the UFO subculture. It appears that the current situation in the squared circle that is the UFO arena is not going to change anytime in the foreseeable future. People like the "woo," fame, fortune, notoriety, the sensational, and "ufotainment," so there is no real motivation to move the conversation back towards the investigation of the UFO problem. It may never happen, which speaks volumes about our species, and our penchant for believing nonsense and unabashed self-promotion. The UFO subculture has gone Hollywood, and the UFOs themselves have gone....

Thank you for your time and consideration.
