Burnt State
Paranormal Adept
It is always a pleasure to listen to this legendary Canadian figure in the field. He definitely gets The Most Humble Ufologist award. He's very steady in his approach, has never been driven mad by his prolonged exposure to the field and states it plainly: ufology has got a lot of interesting stories but not much in the way of evidence that is tangible.
The most interesting statement was that contemporary cases are less likely to leave any evidence at all and thought this was a shift in how the phenomenon presents. What's that all about? I've been around long enough to be able to say, we sure don't have UFO cases like we used to in the good ole days of ufology, when strange groups of aliens would clamber about your house and float in your yard while you and your brother in law shoot at them with shotguns.
What happened to the big wow's of ufology where individuals have really wild events.unfold up close in front of them with small humanoids collecting soil in the desert beside their ship, then Hynek, Vallee and Stanford all descend on the scene with local law enforcement, and everyone's scratching their heads going.....wow,.that sure looked like it came from outer space. Now we have tic tacs while the president tacos. All our big UFO cases appear to be leaked videos from the Navy - like none of that is suspicious.
Wake me.up in 20 years when there's another hearing about how UFO's are real and more crappy TV shows are streaming about the subject and we will still know absolutely nothing about it. "Maybe they're demons" is a familiar refrain.
I didn't hear my first question asked about experience anomalies vs. event anomalies, but I also would like to have asked Chris Rutkowski how he has managed to stay so calm over all these years when there's still absolutely nothing learned about UFO'S? Are these always going to just be stories for the sake of stories?
I really miss those old timey UFO's.
