A Personal Commentary.

Greetings. As the decades have passed, and as social media has become more and more important to the effort to communicate, less than desirable, outwardly personal interactions have become far, far too commonplace. I have often been the target of some abhorrent and less-than-cordial personal attacks. I have always viewed such attacks as amateurish and unprofessional, and not worthy of a response. However, now that I am a married gentleman, the situation has completely changed. My wife, Venus Renee Pullin, the President of the San Antonio Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, is highly involved in UFO research, and I always hold her efforts in high regard. She has an informed and straightforward take on the UFO issue, and while we don't always agree, I always respect her opinions, thoughts, and conclusions. Her intelligent and insightful writings are something to behold, informative and far more enjoyable to read than my blunt offerings. Now we arrive at the reason for this person

MUFON, Detrimental to the Investigative Cause.

Greetings. The heady days of APRO, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, and NICAP, the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, have come and gone, leaving MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, as the only pony in the investigative race. The situation as it now stands is a monopoly of sorts, with MUFON taking up the lion's share of the attention. It is the elephant in the UFO room, but what is that particular elephant really doing? Has MUFON accomplished anything of substance? Let's take an honest look.  1. Has MUFON uncovered any evidence of alien visitation? No. The best MUFON can claim is that a few of the cases that it's field investigators have examined have remained unexplained, and are possibly anomalous in nature. However, nothing artificial and non-terrestrial has turned up.  2. Has MUFON maintained it's organizational integrity since it originally came into being back in May of 1969? No. MUFON has become an entertainment entity, with the selling

Where Have Daylight Disks Gone?

Greetings. Once upon a time, back in the heady days of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization and the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, the reporting of daylight disks was a relatively common occurrence. In fact, the reporting of such events happened on a worldwide basis, with people all around the planet seeing UFOs that fit into the daylight disk category. Coral and Jim Lorenzen of ARPO received daylight disk sighting reports year after year, as did the staffs at NICAP, and the numerous other lesser-known civilian investigative efforts. The McMinnville event of May 1950 and the Rex Heflin event of August 1965 are prime historical examples of daylight disks.  As the decades slowly passed, many other categories of UFOs began to grow in reported numbers, with nocturnal lights reported by witnesses on a more consistent basis. By the late 1980's, when the Mutual UFO Network became the sole civilian investigative organization in operation, the situation had com
