I am truly befuddled, by lots of things, but mostly at the
insistence by most of you visiting here that a (deep?) study of old, iconic and
otherwise UFO accounts contain, within them, a solution to the enigmatic
phenomenon….even after an almost 80 year scrutiny by so-called ufologists, some
eminent, some just goofy.
The recent capture of a guy who stabbed to death 4 Idaho
students came about, not because the cops looked back at old murders; the
police used DNA tracking and a 2022 approach to finding the killer.
When Ukraine forces decimated a Russian squadron of Russkie
soldiers the other day, they didn’t read old war records of the Napoleonic
battles or the diaries of Rommel from WW II, They used modern weaponry and 2023
stealth and skills of warfare.
The only sensible stance I got about the old UFO stories as
grist for UFO denouement came from my pal Anthony Bragalia this past weekend.
He still pursues the Roswell incident and is even reckoning
with new material about his Socorro hoax speculation. But he under- stands that
any solution to what really happened within those classic UFO cases is long
gone – many witnesses and participants now dead and the earlier cases botched by UFO “investigators” who didn’t know what the hell they were doing or how to do it.
Those of you calling for new re-reads of old UFO tales are
not about to re-invigorate any study of them.
You just like the idea that the
early reports are grist for missed clues, even though I offered the suggestion
of Jacques Derrida to seek truth outside of texts, the texts only a basis for
moving forward toward the truth of hidden things –- the text submissive to many
oblique asides, some hidden, some secret, some impercep- tible, and some without
any chance of providing their secrets.
The AATIP-involved pilots used modern technology to come to
some conclusions that provide insight as to what the things they chased in the
sky are.
They didn’t look back to Chiles-Whitted for aerodynamic
informa- tion. They (and pilots generally) have moved much beyond those days of
yore where eyesight was the primary instrument of discern- ment.
So, again, move onward and upward my Luddite pals. This is
2023 and UFOs are. perhaps, even beyond that year in reality.
