Roswell: Ufology’s idée fixe

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Copyright 2017, InterAmerica, Inc.

No matter what UFO case or topic arises in the UFO stratosphere, some way or another, Roswell enters into the mix.
The Roswell incident is an obsession with UFO buffs (ufologists): an idée fixe.
Most commentary acknowledges that and calls Roswell “the Holy Grail” of UFOdom.
For some reason, Roswell is a psychological blight that has infected the psyches of UFO attuned people, but why?
The so-called incident has been trampled by opinion and speculation among ufologists for about 40 years now (since 1978).
Yes, it’s a curious tale but there are other UFO cases/reports with more enigmatic cachet.
Roswell is a myth (a mythos) aside from any reality that the episode contains within it.
But you have, all, noticed that a UFO subject brought up in UFO venues almost, invariably, gets set aside by Roswell commentary that takes control of colloquies.
Thus, ufology and the UFO genre have become stagnated by the usurpation of the quagmired Roswell patina.
Recent books by pals Jose Caravaca, Gilles Fernandez, Nick Redfern, and Kevin Randle, alongside books by UFO people I could care less about, all dig into the Roswell saga, and UFO buffs eat them up, eschewing other UFO tomes dealing with the phenomenon more relevantly.
Since the Roswell oeuvre is mostly (entirely?) fictive, I’ll be presenting, soon, why the “reality” that is Roswell is a “fictional truth” as delineated by French philosopher and polymath Jacques Derrida….
(if I understand Derrida correctly, which I may not, as my Facebook buddy Bryan Sentes, who teaches at Dawson College in Montreal, and has much Derridaian expertise, may see it.)
The formative matter is complex, admittedly, but the accretions to that Roswell original “event” are complex too, in their various incarnations.
My meager attempt(s) to defuse Roswell won’t do much, if anything at all, but if I can sway a few habitués here to abandon their wasteful preoccupation with the rotting corpse of Roswell, I shall have done my duty to the battered hobby of ufology.
