Ufology

[Wickerman]

I am not sure whether there is much interest in the subject.

Probably not until it's too late....


To be honest, it is extremely naive for anyone to think that we are the only inventive lifeform in this universe, I don't think many people truely appreciate how vast it is.

The trouble is, history does repeat itself. We are content in our own little world, just like the Aztecs, ...so what will we do when Cortez appears on our horizon?

We'll be praying that they only come for gold!

If you mean the man I know as "Jung" then I agree.

I dont believe that all UFO's are broomsticks, but some data correlates well with terrestrial technological developments which have been in a state of flux since WW2. Incidentally, the UFO/supernatural connection belongs to Carl Gustav Young. I subscibe to his view

I once made a determined effort to ascertain whether there was ANY truth in the Roswell incident.

I acquired every book I could on the subject and then said i would only accept as FACT any point that was corroborated by at least one other source.

I could not find one single fact that met that fairly basic criteria. Most things seemed to be at least misremembered (that's being charitable) or made up (even that's being generous).

There is NOTHING in the whole story that actually hangs together.

I have read other things about the Rendlesham Forest incident(as one example) that are equally difficult to believe. Not that the alternative explanations really add up either!

I warm to your idea of UFO's being the modern supernatural.

Yet I still wonder?

I am not sure whether there is much interest in the subject. To much bad data has made it the subject of derision by the scientific community and in popular culture, so the interesting stuff is usually ignored. When i say bad data, i mean extraterrestrials. Modern folklore has reinvented the hobgoblin, the warlock and the incubus and relocated them to the void of the space, from the plain of supernatural. Still, good quality data from reputable sources,coupled with the lessons of history, can suggest a terrestrial hypothesis which might provide an answer.
