Well Said, Norio (A UFO state of the union of sorts..)

AMERICA'S UFO SUB-CULTURE......why it continues to affect a segment of the population Here is my newly revised view on 'Ufology' and Conspiracies. I take a healthy, skeptical position on the subject matter, without becoming a debunker. I am still very open.

I still keep an open stance on everything because life itself is a mystery and there could be things in this world that we still do not understand. We still do not know fully what 'reality' is. I am not recanting but am simply taking a more rational approach to 'Ufology' as well as to the never-ending speculations about global conspiracies. My favorite quote is from an English comic book writer, Alan Moore, who said that: “The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in a conspiracy theory because that is more comforting. The truth is that the world is chaotic. It is not the Jewish banking conspiracy or the grey aliens or the 12-foot reptilians from another dimension that are in control. The truth is more frightening: Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless” I have spent more than 50 years in 'Ufology', including many years investigating Area 51 in Nevada. I also spent many years attempting to investigate and getting to the bottom of the never-ending allegations that there is an underground base in Dulce, New Mexico. I now reside in New Mexico and visit the Dulce area from time to time. I have recently come to a sobering, personal conclusion that there doesn’t appear to be any single, solid, tangible and irrefutable documentary evidence whatsoever that we have ever been (or are being) visited by physical extaterrestrial aliens in physical alien spacecraft of any kind. Yet, so many questions still remain. Moreover, the belief in such remains persistent, among a segment of the population. Why? I have nothing against those who are in what I describe as the ‘paranoia industry’ (authors, promoters and conference speakers) that continue to benefit from a segment of the population’s persistent beliefs in UFOs, Aliens and Conspiracies. I respect everyone’s right to make a living somehow. It will go on and on….because, let’s face it, it is all part of America’s UFO sub-culture. -from Norio
