Ufological Invertebrates, Void of Testicles.

-

Greetings. Professional backbone. Why are so many in UFO circles incapable of simply following through, naming names, or just providing information that confirms their educational and/or professional accomplishments? 

In today's society, with the Internet and social media holding so much of the power over the narrative being pushed to the masses, people from all parts of the planet can make claims about alleged educational degrees of study, or work histories that are long and storied, yet are void of confirming information or documentation. 

Just take a look at the profiles of the more well-known names in the UFO subculture. In many cases, you will be witness to a long, long listing of qualifications and accomplishments. Now, while I may simply be too cynical in my approach, I often wonder how many of these celebrities are lying about their educational backgrounds and/or their work and research histories. I don't know if any are, and I sincerely hope I am completely wrong, but if recent history in the UFO arena is any indication, we are being lied to in many instances, which does not say much about the morals of those particular persons.

Meandering alongside the liars are those who have no balls, no inclination to engage with others in the UFO "field," no motivation to provide proof to prove what they so comfortably declare on Facebook, X, or any other platform on the Internet. It takes no balls to make a declaration on social media, none whatsoever, and it should not be any challenge at all to provide proof to support those very same declarations. Despite that, many people don't follow through, which speaks to a self-made castration, with no change of course in the future to be reasonably expected. 

No issues are addressed in a straightforward manner. No names are dropped, except by those who actually have professional testicles. Nothing that results in controversy or negative press is ever talked about, or indeed allowed on any of a number of websites, Facebook pages, or their attached groups. The echo chamber that is the UFO subculture on the Internet is only strengthened, given additional support, and maintained for future adherents to enjoy. 

Let the ufological wheels continue their eternal spinning, all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Why do Hoaxes Never Die?

Greetings. Hoaxes. Whilst a statistically insignificant aspect of the UFO picture, some of the more well-known historical UFO cases on the books are known to be hoaxes. Despite the complete lack of tangible proof or evidence to support their validity, and the mountain of information strongly suggesting that the cases in question are not valid, but rather hoaxes perpetrated for unknown reasons, these cases have become legendary in their stature, and are seemingly eternal in their lifespan. Let's take a look at the current, and historical, situation.  The list of known historical hoaxes is not really that long, but their notoriety is certainly something to behold; Aztec, Aurora, Trinity, Kingman, Del Rio, Maury Island, San Agustin, among a few others. Their collective cashe of supportive evidence is almost nonexistent, void of valid corroborating documentation, lacking in physical, tangible, and falsifiable evidence, and wanting of any reasonable continuity among the alleged witness ...

Andre Skondras: A Furuncle on the Arse of Ufology.

Greetings. Andre Skondras. An irritating boil on the ass of ufology. An individual who deflects and directs. Or at least attempts to.  I have had the "pleasure" of encountering this particular piece of excrement only occasionally on social media, but recent events took that to an entirely new level. My wife, Venus Miranda, and I are administrators of several Facebook groups, mostly focused on the UFO problem and its attached subculture. A few weeks ago, Mr. Skondras joined our "Is Ufology Dead? A Candid Consideration" and promptly began to commence bullying and directing the other members. Almost immediately we limited his ability to interact, not in an attempt at censorship, but to simply provide some reasonable protection for the other members, who we hold in high regard and are deserving of respect and consideration.  Mr. Skondras subsequently began to cry and cry and cry, throwing accusations around like a child throwing a ufological tantrum. Censorship! Bullyin...

Hitchens' Razor: Kyptonite for the Fringe Communities.

Greetings. Hitchens' Razor. Hitchens' razor is an epistemological razor that serves as a general rule for rejecting certain knowledge claims. The razor states: "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." The razor is credited to author, critic, and journalist Christopher Eric Hitchens. It declares that the burden of proof regarding a claim lies squarely with the individual making the claim. If this burden is not satisfied, then the claim is deemed to be unfounded, and its opponents need not argue further in order to dismiss it. Hitchens used the phrase specifically in the context of refuting religious belief. The razor appears in Hitchens' magnificent 2007 book "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything."  The term "Hitchens' Razor" itself made its first appearance in an online forum in October of 2007, and was later popularised by evolutionary biologist and atheist activist Jerry Coyne after Hitc...
