I had and lost interest years and years ago. It's the same thing it's always been. A bunch of made-for-TV drama nonsense.
The people that believe this stuff are the same types that think 9/11 was an inside job, that we didn't land on the moon, that 5G or wifi cause mental problems, or believe in crystal power. No matter how much you show them they'll continue to believe in their myth. It's a replacement for religion.
Oh and there's a decent amount to be made on talk series sales and book sales if you can cough up an "I saw an alien" story that sounds good and make some good money by selling to the above audience.
- stevenhuang 4y agoIf your only engagement with UFOs is that which is perpetuated by popular media, it should come no surprise to you that your understanding of the matter is surface level. For that reason I am entirely sympathetic to your point of view, which is shared by many, but I am here to say that there is evidence of the contrary, and that you should not be so certain this is all "nonsense". > A bunch of made-for-TV drama nonsense. When there is opportunity, there are opportunists. The important distinction is to realize the phenomena can be true, and also for grifters to leverage the phenomenon for personal gain. At this point, I will say that if one endeavors to truly dive deep into the subject matter and arrive to lumping the UFO phenomenon with other conspiracy theories writ large, then it is a failure in epistemic ability. As a rational, scientific, agnostic person, I am telling you that the UFO phenomenon is grounded, as incredulous it may be.
