Now here's a smart guy!

I often peg some of Kevin Randle’s readers (commenters) as on the fringe of intelligence but his blog does capture some sane (sensible) comments.

Here’s one from Albert in Kevin’s recent post about Ufology:

“Another thing that sticks in my craw is the conflation of the paranormal with UFOlogy. When you bring in alien abductions, crop circles, cryptozoology, and hordes of New Age fluff, you’ve taken 2 strikes before you even get to the plate. This from a man with wide ranging interest in some of those areas.”

Albert makes a point that I had also try to make a while back.

That some long-time UFO buffs, a few with ufological cachet, were besmirching the UFO topic (phenomenon — sorry Zoam) by trying to lump it into the paranormal category, diluting the matter with an overlay of nonsense from the backwaters of crazy interests, those things named above (which I’ve made bold) by Albert.

The paranormal has some intriguing sub-categories but UFOs ain’t one of them.

And persons trying to make UFOs part of the paranormal panoply are struggling with the dearth of imaginative and creative thought about UFOs on their part.

So, kudos for Albert’s insight and comment.
