Critical Thinking, a Lost Art in the UFO subculture.

Image
Greetings. Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. The UFO subculture, excepting the credible, skeptical, and dispassionate research community, is incapable of putting the aforementioned intellectual exercise into practice.  Put simply, critical thinking is the process of analyzing available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments to make sound conclusions or informed choices. It involves recognizing underlying assumptions, providing justifications for ideas and actions, evaluating these justifications through comparisons with varying perspectives, and assessing their rationality and potential consequences.

Greetings. Interacting with people online can be a total waste of time, often times otherwise. It all depends on the situation, and all too often, on the grammatical capabilities of the person across the keyboard. What do I mean? Well, time for a rant.... If I had a dollar for every time I have had the "privilege" of interacting with a grammatically challenged person, I would have already bought out MUFON, and immediately thrown the immoral organization into a trash bin, never to be seen or heard from again.

Such interactions make it impossible to grasp the thoughts of the opposing person, which makes the entire exercise an operation in futility.  Spelling! I have often called out, or inquired about the grammatical issues at play, which almost always motivates the off...

The Shag Harbour incident was the reported crash/impact/landing of an unidentified flying object into the waters in the vicinity of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, a tiny fishing village on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The described events are alleged to have taken place on October 4th of 1967. The reports were investigated by various Canadian civilian agencies (RCMP and Canadian Coast Guard,) and military factions (Canadian Forces Navy and Air Force,) as well as the United States' own Condon Committee. On the 4th of October, at approximately 11:20pm local time, witnesses reported that something had crashed into the waters of Shag Harbour. At least eleven people saw a low-flying unidentified object head directly towards the harbour. Multiple witnesses reported hearing a whistling sound "like a bomb," then a "whoosh," and finally a loud bang. The object in question was never officially identified, and was therefore referred to as an unidentified flying ...
