I’m going to briefly touch on the subject of plants, shills, underminers within the UFO community. I’ve been up all day drawing and programming and am a wee bit tired so I won’t write at length right now but will later tomorrow.
Bottom line is I’ve run into many a notable UFO researcher who just doesn’t fit into the equation of wanting to solve the mysteries involved. Instead they gripe, make bizarre accusations, try to publicly invalidate another person’s reports and theories, just real underhanded tactics one would think would come from the skeptics and debunkers. Matter of fact that reminds me that years ago a guy from an aircraft fan club I’ve belonged to for well over ten years now, up and confessed that he used to work for our government and his job was to debunk and intimidate and derail people who reported or investigated UFOs. That was quite alarming to have someone admit they got paid to do this stuff that supposedly doesn’t exist.
Taking that into account, if you’re thinking of venturing into the UFO field, be forwarned that there are people, just a small handful, within the upper eschelon of UFOlogists I wouldn’t trust as far as I could throw them and I’m a strong guy and can throw a 200lb man quite distance if I wanted too.
So be careful and take each person you meet whether online or at a convention or out in the field with a big grain of salt.
Stay tuned.
