Tinfoil Station.

Greetings. Talk. Talk. Talk. That is literally all that happens in the UFO subculture. Nothing of substance, no proof, no evidence. Nothing but claims, promises, and declarations. 

Where is the proof? Where is the evidence? There is none. After decades and decades of talk, nothing physical has surfaced to prove the case for alien visitation, or any other theory that posits non-terrestrial, anomalous phenomena. Project Sign, Project Grudge, Project Blue Book, the Condon Committee, and innumerable other "investigative" efforts have come and gone. No proof, no evidence. The National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP,) the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO,) and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON,) have attempted to investigate the UFO problem. No proof, no evidence. Numerous other organizations in countries around the world have made the same investigative efforts, with the same results. No proof, no evidence. 

Despite the lack of proof or evidence, people in the UFO subculture continue to believe in alien visitation, so strongly that the subculture has become a cult, complete with a mythology that confirms the beliefs of its own members. The details of the mythology are eerily familiar, even to those members of the general public who have no interest in the UFO topic; a government cover-up, recovered alien spacecraft, recovered alien bodies, attempts at reverse engineering of alien technology, not to mention the endless list of alleged events and direct interactions with aliens. There are even claims of meetings between aliens and world leaders, agreements between the parties, and military actions against alien spacecraft and their crews. As with everything else in the UFO subculture, there is no proof, no evidence. 

Now the cultists and their leadership have begun to support violent activity and the use of abhorrent language against anyone who holds contrary points of view. Cult leaders like Ross Coulthart, Jeremy Corbell, and George Knapp have made statements advocating for violence against non-believers, used foul language in the course of attacking scientists, and made promises of proof and evidence that never come to fruition. Yet, as if such behaviors were acceptable, the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies' own Rich Hoffman and Robert Powell have remained completely silent about the rhetoric exiting the mouth of Mr. Coulthart, the keynote speaker for the SCU's upcoming conference. Additionally, the talking points being offered by Mr. Corbell and Mr. Knapp are of no consequence to their followers, for none of those people (sheep) would ever consider criticizing the language or violent rhetoric of their leaders. Such is life for the member of a cult.

Does the current situation reflect the beliefs of all members of the UFO subculture. Absolutely not, for any statement describing the UFO subculture in its entirety as a cult is not completely accurate. However, is the majority of the UFO subculture populated by cultists? I cannot say, but the percentage is substantial and should not be ignored. The behaviors on display are reminiscent of the political arena in the United States, troubling and counterproductive. 

Moving past the excrement, does any of this activity offer the chance for advancement or legitimate investigative results? Do any of the cult leaders have the UFO problem in mind, or do they simply want to keep their sheep in line by providing more and more nonsense for them to consume? 

All the cult leaders have is their talk, their claims, their rhetoric, and their highly produced sensationalized content and programming. No proof, no evidence. 

All apologies UFO subculture, but take heart, you still have your tinfoil hats. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
