Misinformation, Ross Coulthart Style.

Greetings. Mr. Ross Coulthart, who holds a warm and cuddly place in the lap of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, went on the air a few short hours ago on NewsNation. The segment focused primarily on the Roswell, New Mexico case from July of 1947.

During the course of the segment, some "quality" misinformation was presented by Mr. Coulthart and NewsNation, in the form of three historical photographs shown while Mr. Coulthart talked about Roswell at length. Putting aside the fact that there are no photographs of the alleged Roswell craft, indeed no photographs of any alien spacecraft whatsoever, the placement of such content has the effect of misinforming the public, making it appear that the photographs on display had some connection with the Roswell case, which they clearly don't. Not exactly quality journalism, but who cares? Rich Hoffman certainly doesn't, nor does the SCU, which remains eerily silent about Mr. Coulthart's recent claims, conduct, and statements.

The first photograph shown during the segment originates with the McMinnville, Oregon case from May 11th of 1950, and was taken by Mr. Paul Trent. The photograph has absolutely nothing to do with the Roswell case of 1947, or any other historical case. I suppose it was too herculean of an undertaking to conduct a bit of research so as to not misinform the public by using inaccurate content on the air. No such luck.

The second photograph originates from October 16th of 1957, over Holloman Air Force Missile Development Center, located in New Mexico. The photograph was originally released to the public by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, and has absolutely nothing to do with the Roswell case of 1947, or any other historical case. More sloppy journalism courtesy of Mr. Coulthart and the staff at NewsNation. Embarrassing.

The third photograph is a hoax, created in Meersberg, Germany back in January of 2000. Yes, a faked photograph of a UFO. Imagine that.

To be brutally blunt, what the hell is the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies thinking, having an individual who engages in the promotion of fake and inaccurate content appear as the keynote speaker for their upcoming annual conference? It places the organization's moral and professional integrity firmly in question. As far as Mr. Coulthart, his moral and professional integrity has sailed and sunk into the excrement filled quagmire otherwise known as the UFO entertainment industry.

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. It ha

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
