I really want to reject the whole "us vs. them" mindset. The UFO/Paranormal/Supernatural subject has historically been plagued by charlatans, fantasists, and the delusional. It is a historical FACT that cannot be denied except by the fanatical and delusional themselves.
Where does that leave the UFO buff, the paranormal enthusiast, the supernatural/spiritual seeker? If they're smart, if they're concerned about the "the truth" of the matter, if they don't want to be taken, they will be skeptical of any UFO, Paranormal, Political or Supernatural/Spiritual claim that is presented to them. If they aren't, they're damn fools, and will be led by the nose down the path by someone who isn't interested in truth as much as something else they think they can extract from them. Sometimes it is money, often it's just attention, acknowledgement, or simply validation.
I've been into this since I was a small child. I've passed through every belief, disbelief, unbelief stage that you can with these topics. I've been taken, been convinced of things that were not true, convinced others of these things, and frightened myself and probably several small children (I was a Sunday School teacher) along the way.
What am I now? I believe people experience strange things and sometimes think inappropriate things about them. I believe one of the central "truths" of these subjects is as Vallee said, "Not only is there an amazing willingness in the human mind to invest credence and faith in unproven facts, but there is more evil, more readiness than ever on the part of various sophisticated groups, to use this human weakness as a tool in controlling others."
Does it make me a debunker when I point out the fallacy of someone posting a picture of a Saturn second stage and calling it a UFO? Am I a die-hard skeptic because I don't believe the spirits of the dead and aliens roam the Earth? Am I a heartless atheist when I point out that your personal god/God/goddess is just one of the 3000 or so that mankind has worshiped during its short time on Earth? Or am I just another credulous sap who has burned his hand on the stove enough times now?
I suspend my disbelief and throw a lot of ideas in the air in this forum from time to time and make pronouncements that might make appear that I think I know what I'm talking about. Hopefully, folks who have read more than a couple of my posts realize that is what I'm doing.
Do I believe that some Unidentified Flying Objects are real manufactured vehicles of some sort that are outside of the general public's knowledge? Yes I do. Are they manufactured and operated by something other than human beings? I do not know, nor do I know of any way to reliably tell.
All that said, I do believe that the universe is not bound by the confines of human experience and that strange things exist that neither our senses or our minds can comprehend in any real sense. I believe the best way to safely navigate this universe is through the use of science and not fanatical or religious belief although I have been guilty of both and I know I am entirely too gullible for my own good.
