The Commonality of Lying.

Greetings. The decades long history of the UFO topic features a substantial number of people who have been shown to be promoters of lies, disinformation, and misinformation. The list is long and sordid. 

Richard Doty, pictured above, is perhaps the best-known liar in UFO circles, but Mr. Doty is certainly not the only member of the infamous liars club, with David Adair, Bob Lazar, and Corey Goode being card-carrying members.

The late Clifford Earl Stone (January 2, 1949-February 10, 2021) was another charter member of the infamous liars club. Clifford Stone served honorably in the United States Army for over 20 years as an Administrative/Legal Specialist. He served during the Vietnam War and was stationed at multiple military installations including; Fort Bliss, Fort Campbell, Hanau, Keesler AFB, and New Mexico Military Institute. During that time he received the following medals and awards: M16 Expert Badge, Overseas Service Ribbon with Bars, Meritorious Unit Citation, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with Palm, Noncommissioned Officers Professional Development Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Bronze Star Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal. His military service to the United States is substantiated, his UFO claims are another matter altogether. 

As it pertains to the UFO topic, Mr. Stone consistently made completely unsubstantiated claims and declarations, all completely void of any corroborating proof or documentary evidence. Claims of over forty extraterrestrial species visiting the planet, claims of being directly involved in crash/retrieval programs and field operations, etc, etc, etc.... No proof. No evidence. Does it ever occur to anyone in the UFO subculture that when an individual releases allegedly secret information to the general public, that same person is violating their oath of secrecy? Beyond the legal and moral ramifications of Mr. Stone's choices, why was he never prosecuted for breaking his oath? Perhaps because he was under no such legal obligation. Perhaps because his claims were all false. Perhaps because he lied. The UFO subculture believed and continues to believe Mr. Stone's unsubstantiated claims as if they were set in stone, verified and proven justifiable by evidence. Unfortunately, Mr. Stone never proved his claims by producing evidence, a fact which does not matter to the amateurishly dense sheep in the UFO subculture, including some "researchers." Typical. 

Now we have David Charles Grusch. Recently released documentation, acquired through the Freedom of Information Act thanks to the herculean efforts of John Greenewald Jr., has definitively shown that Mr. Grusch has made some public statements that are simply untrue, which places the remainder of his recycled, second-hand claims under a thundercloud of suspicion. As it turns out, Mr. Grusch made false statements, under oath, during the U.S. Congressional hearings on UAPs last summer, and has made false claims about his alleged interactions with AARO and Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick. That has to be troubing, but likely not to the less credible players in the UFO arena. Just yesterday evening, John Greenewald Jr. broadcast a lengthy and meticulous video examination of the entire situation as it pertains to the inaccurate statements made by Mr. Grusch. I strongly encourage my readers to take in all the information, it speaks volumes. The link to the program is available at https://youtu.be/3GNITLBj0hM?si=XqWNNk6GekMsCYVV

All this misrepresentation, all these unsubstantiated claims, all these untruths, all these lies. It muddies the UFO waters, and that is to the detriment of the entire UFO research community. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

  1. I'm not sure we should consider Bob Lazar to have been caught out lying.

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
