The witness, the researcher and the theorist is what I see here, and amongst that straight line through the three: the compelling first hand accounts; the collected, compelling stories; and the imaginative thinker who can conjure satellites out of his typed words - therein lies my fluctuating addiction to the field. Its repeating loops, the edits over time of the stories, some still repeated, despite their verified hoaxed history, plagues the entire pursuit. I can understand why some would call it modern folklore & mythology. Still, there have been many, verifiable scientists who have done diligent enough work to make the pursuit worthwhile for science to undertake a more serious approach to it. It's like that chocolate coated candy, Bridge Mixture - you never know what you'll get with each bite.
