Well, here's the thing. Not the UFO Thing but a General Thing.
Recently I went down the garden path of mediumship for my own purposes. Somehow I thought by applying my own brand of thinking on the topic that I would have a revelation - in fact I was looking for something quite specific.
What I found is that it's one of those topics that you have to decide for yourself where to place the marker between what may be real and what obviously isn't. Even when trying to apply some order and discipline to my approach it's one of those topics that does not lend itself to that very well. Too many personalities, beliefs, what have you to ever make sense of it all. So I dipped my toes in and am satisfied with my result but it isn't what I started out looking for, Along the way I had to question my own motives, beliefs and reasoning. In short I gave myself as through an examination as possible because I found myself believing my own bullshit. I think of it as a healthy self checkup.
As to UFOs, it's about the same thing. All sorts of tantalizing clues, accounts from seemingly and genuinely credible people who say incredible things, people who wrap themselves in a uniform or degree or position - some persona intended to make their views seem more weighty. I take the same view on this and other things that are supposed to have quantifiable physical properties - the Grover Krantz approach. Show me a body.
