Ufology: The Denial of its Death

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


Copyright 2017, InterAmerica, Inc.
In many quarters of the UFO community reside persons who know that ufology and the UFO topic are dying or, actually, dead.
Some UFO buffs refuse to accept the finality of their “hobby.”
They fall into the category of “deniers” who, in the Psychiatric Dictionary (often cited here) refuse “to admit the reality of” ufology’s death.
They refuse “to acknowledge the presence or existence of” the truth which is “Known … as negation, denial being “a primitive defense, consisting of an attempt to disavow the existence of an unpleasant reality.”
“ … denial must ignore data [presented] to the perceptory system and garnered by the memory apparatus.”
Such denial appears “in persons whose ego is weak or disturbed (as in psychoses).”
[Page 199, italics in text]
Some UFO addicts, acting like vultures (me?), scrounge on the bones of ufology which are, in 2017, devoid of meat.
The recent revival of MJ-12 like material smacked of a ufological zombie, attracting even the most cynical of UFO buffery, and the pending gathering in Roswell for the annual anniversary of the 1947 “incident” may be likened to a wake.
John Keel, and many after him, have remarked on ufology’s demise but the deniers persist in their delusion that ufology isn’t dead, much as society refuses to accept the prospect of human death:
“An important contributor to the denial of death thesis was British anthropologist Geoffrey Gorer, who first popularized the notion that conversation about death constitutes a taboo. His article ‘The Pornography of Death’, originally published in 1955 and reprinted in Death, grief and mourning quickly became a classic in the death and dying literature.”  [The denial of death thesis: sociological critique and implications … by Camilla Zimmermann and Gary Rodin, Palliative Medicine 2004]
We UFO addicts have got to come to full realization that ufology is moribund, at least, and we should be looking at the topic of UFOs archaeologically or paleontologically, not as a vibrant, vital, alive enterprise.
UFOs and ufology are not coming back to vivid existence, even if some keep intoning the pathetic prayer of “disclosure.”
The topic is kaput. Let’s perform the autopsy and move on.
