The Hazards of Ufology, Part 1: Paranoia and Isolation - Mysterious Universe

Yesterday we reviewed Brent Swancer's UFO Researchers and Mysterious Deaths. Now Brent's Mysterious Universe colleague Nick Redfern catalogues some of the non-lethal potential occupational hazards of the business. In Part 1 of his Hazards Trilogy Nick profiles Albert Bender, whose pre-UFO issues as well as his over-deep dive into the subject were composed in the end. In The Hazards of Ufology, Part 2: Aliens, Demons or Both Nick gives us a pair of lesser-known New Zealand examples with a decidedly sinister twist. And lastly, The Hazards of Ufology, Part 3: Buying Into Just About Everything has Nick discussing a less dangerous but more common malady--the loss of "one's common sense." Nick focuses on the couple behind a book on my bucket list, Bryant and Helen Reeve's Flying Saucer Pilgrimage, a chronicle of the Golden Age of Contacteeism. But in the end, something Nick says in Part 1 should be the main takeaway: "for the most part, balance is the key to all of this." And it's worth reading Nick's related and fundamental 2016 piece UFOs: Don't Let Them Rule Your Life. (WM)
