Ufology obsession with "documents"
For some unknown reason Ufologists and wannabes ufologists/armchair
experts have an obsession with documents.
They talk about document releasing as major events. It seems that they
do not know that a blank piece of paper will accept anything that you write on
it, but many times they will expend a lot of talking time around these
documents and their "enigmatic" content.
Many times some evangelists will make "careers" out of some
of these documents, books, documentaries, etc. will be made around them. The
mechanisms of enhancing obfuscation and exploiting it will turn and turn
without ever stopping. These documents are like very productive cows that need
to be milked forever.
For example, at the moment of this writing a new document release is
making the usual rounds in the online UFO sites, this is one of the titles
describing it, but these titles will be as varied as UFO believers are on earth
: "Top secret CIA files have emerged from the 1950s exposing hidden UFO sightings".
The "relevance" given to this document more than 60 years old
is another reflection of the known "classic" Ufologists love for the
past, but this document contains "sightings reports" more than 60
years old. If you read this with detachment you can think that the people
giving relevance to this kind of documents are living in a place where looking
at the sky is taboo, or it is illegal with very high prison sentences or worst
to people caught making observations of the sky, that is why they may cherish what
others more than 60 years ago may had seen, things that will be very difficult
for them to witness today.
But we know that that is not the case, they love the past and anything
that may increase the level of obfuscation in this area of interest, but one
thing is true: observing the sky is taboo for them and they will be very happy
if that is made illegal.
