The Pollution of the UFO community

Copyright 2021, InterAmerica, Inc.

Back in the early 2000s. when the internet (web) was a newbie for most people, there were few UFO sites, UFO UpDates being the central location, pretty much, for UFO discussions (and controversies).

All the big names showed up there, all of them.

And topics were generally relevant and enthusiastically debated.

Today, there is no UFO Updates – well there is the renamed Facebook group but that’s another story.

And at or on Facebook are dozens of UFO groups, administered by every Tom, Dick, and Mary who think they have some good ideas and thoughts about the phenomenon. They don’t.

Every possible mental or societal quirk is now enmeshed within UFO dogma and lore, everything, including the misadventure of anal probes during alleged UFO kidnappings, the topic brought up again by wayside UFOers, the topic about to sink UFOs in the mire of absurdity once more.

Yes, some old-timers and UFO biggies are online there, at Facebook. But they merely adopt a smarmy, comedic rebuttal stance when overt nonsense shows up. No one refutes gregarious foolishness, as they don’t want to be unfriended or unliked by fellow Facebookers.

The onslaught of egregious UFO merde goes unabated and uncensored at Facebook and on the whole internet itself.

The once fringe phenomenon is now fodder for the great unwashed, and is doomed to continued academic or scholarly inattention.

But hasn’t that always been the purpose of ufology?
