UFO Zealotry and Existentialism
Just what is the truth about UFOs? Put two ufologists in a room and you'll get a hundred different opinions. And then which one would be right?
What if each opinion was backed up by totally different standards of evidence? Whose standards would be correct? Would the scientist prevail over the psychologist, the historian over the documentarian? And who gets to make the ultimate decision?
Would it be the person with the best internet website? The best book? The best magazine? The best radio show? The best documentary? The best podcast? Where are the standards of judgment and who gets to set those standards?
In a field where the very existence of the thing that's supposed to be studied has been denied by the government, by scientists and engineers paid by the government, and by the government's own military and politicians, how can there be any standards at all?
