Christopher Mellon. Ignorant.

Greetings. Christopher K. Mellon. The name is familiar to anyone who holds an interest in unidentified flying objects. 

Mr. Mellon is a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence for the William J. Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Mr. Mellon also served as the Staff Director of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. His lengthy work record and duties are contained within the public record. 

Mr. Mellon has been actively lobbying for the U.S. Government to conduct investigations into the UFO problem for a number of years now. His face and name has become synonymous with the UFO topic, alongside other people of some notoriety. Mr. Mellon has made various public statements about UFOs, some grounded and reasonable, a few being far less so. A statement made on X (Twitter) reeks of ignorance, something which is embarrassing to see. According to his post, dated May 11th of 2021, Mr. Mellon is thankful for the investigative efforts of Jacques Vallee and Paola Harris, a ridiculous statement to make considering that Vallee and Harris are coauthors of a book that advocates for the reality of a hoaxed event, the so-called Trinity UFO crash case. In fact, after independent researchers took a look at the Trinity case, it soon became apparent that the entire story is a pile of steamy excrement, complete nonsense. 

Despite this, Mr. Mellon believes the story and supports the "work" of Vallee and Harris. What the hell is Mr. Mellon thinking? Is he simply ignorant? If so, no excuse. Is he knowingly attempting to mislead the public and the greater UFO subculture? Perhaps, but I have no information that would allow for a firm declaration. Is Mr. Mellon attempting to maintain a narrative that keeps the UFO topic in a place of attention and within the sensationalized spotlight of the UFO entertainment industry? That is a strong possibility. No further posts have appeared to contradict his initial position, so I can only assume that Mr. Mellon's beliefs about the Trinity hoax have not changed or any substantial degree. Again, embarrassing. 

Kevin Randle and Douglas Dean Johnson have conducted some outstanding work revealing that the Trinity case is a hoax, confirming that the case is simply a story made up by a few people whose motivations are unknown to this point. Some links to the information concerning the Trinity hoax are as follows:

Christopher Mellon has embraced a hoax, which calls into question his knowledge about the UFO topic and its long history. Embarrassing and ignorant, plain and simple. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

    I continue to be discouraged when “reputable” people such as Mellon and Vallee embrace fallacy and ignore facts. Who are we to believe and put our trust in, Mr. Pullin?

      I have always found Kevin D. Randle, John Greenewald, Jan Aldrich, Barry Greenwood, and Jack Brewer to be grounded, reasonable, and dispassionate researchers. I feel the same way Sir, it can be very discouraging.

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
