Thanks, as always, for asking one of my questions.

I found this episode rather tinged with sadness. For all the talk of the visitors enabling humanity or parallels drawn with more traditional religious experiences, it's been decades since Whitley's seminal experiences began and as of today he has no real answers, he's, understandably, grieving his wife, he says he can no longer get his books published and strangers at UFO conferences spit at his car.

Wherever his experiences have taken him to, it doesn't sound like a wholly enjoyable place. Though perhaps I'm just reading too much into his anecdotes. But if I was looking for someone to personify the Icarus like descent of ufology today, perhaps I wouldn't feel the need to look much further.
