A few of you may be familiar with Oswald Spengler’s magnum opus The Decline of the West, an important book that has lost its cachet in academia but remains pertinent in a number of ways.
And of course you know about Edward Gibbon’s
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
No, I’m not going to drag you through either book but they, along with a few others, tell us how empires, countries, and cultures rise and fall or decline, to the point of irrelevancy.
The UFO phenomenon is like that: it rose, reached heights of relevancy, but today is in decline, if not dead.
I know that many reading this still maintain that UFOs are integral to societal existence.
They aren’t.
UFOs are at the fringe of relevancy. Advocates say no. The Anomalist gang says no. Some of my UFO pals say no.
But the view or opinion that UFOs remain significant is delusional.
Flying saucers rose to prominence in 1947, as you all know. They peaked in the following two decades of the 50s and 60s, then started a slow but palpable descent.
Today, UFOs are the scum on the pond of civilization.
I maintain an interest because I’m soaked in flying saucer or UFO lore, a drenching that most attuned here are also besotted by.
But lest you misunderstand my stance, let me say (write) that one has to look at the UFO mythos in the same way that Gibbon and Spengler looked at the phenomena that interested them, a dead civilization and a dead cultural milieu: the UFO and its current Weltanschauung.
Nothing more, nothing less.
UFOs are archaeological.
That some try to coat UFOs with an ET patina doesn’t bring them back to life as a viable alternative to things that truly matter, and we all know what those things are, or we should know.
Don’t be put off by my dour position, as stated above and known by regulars who visit this blog, no matter its incarnation.
I’ll try to provide substantive musings, bolstered by artifacts of the UFO mythology as usual, and I hope some of you will continue to tag along for the ride.
