Ufology's "Where's Waldo" Game - UFO Conjectures

First up, Rich contemplates the lack of serious new attempts to postulate "what UFOs are or have been." There are good points on ufologists seemingly bent upon assiduously tallying and categorizing UFO cases, apparently hoping that a Resolution to the UFO Mystery will pop out of the pile--if indeed they even look towards some end. Rich next examines the poverty of genuine thought in the flying saucer field in his Brave New World and UFOs. In this case, "crazy or whimsical ideologies" are being substituted for the kind of intellectual theorizing whose dearth Rich was lamenting in his first post. Rich sets this malaise into the current cultural "dumbing down" foreshadowed by a classic novel. Of course, the base data for ufology has its weaknesses, as Rich notes in The Non-logic of (Some) UFO Sightings/Reports. Rich suggests certain reports may not square well with what we'll call "ET logic"--a speculation always chancy, but here argued soundly. The Kevin Randle article that inspired Rich's last piece is The Tremonton UFO Film and Haddaway. In the genre of Kevin's re-examination of the most iconic old UFO cases, Kevin's post also illustrates the remarkable variety of possible sources for new or revised interpretations. Incidentally, the Haddaway video is more specifically located at What is Love. (WM)
