UFOLOGY AND THE WAY OF THE WORLD - DANDARE
A little note from me first. I think we'll all agree that many UK tabloids have gone the way of greater sensationalism these days. Don't fall prey to such. These publications are basically using UFOs as attempts to increase their advertising since UFOs are big hits for most all papers. Just the fact that these papers post obvious Chinese lantern sightings one day, and then retract it the next day with a debunker story, shows me that it was just an excuse to run an additional UFO story. So listen here to what dandare has to say on the issue at hand because such sensationalism is actually hurting Ufology as a whole and it's making us all out to look like a bunch of nuts.
UFOLOGY AND THE WAY OF THE WORLD
BY, DANDARE
Ufology has not got a very good image….. the general consensus is that it's made up of eccentrics, cults and nutters. To a certain extent this is true, which is a shame, however it is not the full story.
The media play a very large part in all of this…. they want sensationalism, not the truth, drama and not the facts, have tacky X-files music and little green men coming at you from all angles. They say we are being invaded, or attacked frequently, to which I say OH DEAR.
The UK UFO sightings rocketed this year, mainly started by the MOD bringing out its UFO files in May. However, it seems the SUN (a tabloid newspaper ) seemed to take it upon themselves, to rise to even bigger lows (if that's possible), and become the UFO experts, and hype up the whole UFO sightings to a ridiculous level. It was total rubbish…. no facts, no research, no clear evidence, nothing.
Of course, it seemed that this encouraged other newspapers both national and local to print sightings, without proper research and reporting; to them its admitedly, to all intense and purposes, just a filler for the paper.
I have touched on this subject before, but i do feel that alot of people see something in the sky, and not being certain what it is, genuinely would like an answer. Of course, the media are not really happy with this scenario, and would like to maintain the status quo….. to keep repeating the same thing year after year, during the quieter periods in the year, when there is not much news to report on.
We also get the other extreme, those who believe totally, in all sightings being of extraterrestrial origin; I’m afraid they are easy prey for hoaxers and others; they never question anything either.
