The UFO
entertainment
For many people
any UFO site or channel is a source of entertainment not different than
watching any other source of entertainment and almost any UFO channel format is
designed as an entertainment channel.
And as in any
entertainment provider pleasing people's expectations is on the top of the
priority list and that automatically kills any pretenses of objectivity.
Jacques Vallee
quoting an interview with Steven Spielberg:
"Vallee: When
I met Stephen Spielberg, I argued with him that the subject was even more
interesting if it wasn't extraterrestrials. If it was real, physical, but not
ET. So he said, "You're probably right, but that's not what the public is
expecting--this is Hollywood and I want to give people something that's close
to what they expect." "
And exactly
Spielberg's thinking had been the thinking of traditional Ufologists and the
many people providing UFO entertainment and that is one of the reasons why nobody
can take Ufology seriously.
