-How about having a show on cargo cults, or how a primitive culture deals with an encounter with an advanced culture.
Another thought . . .
I'm rereading books by J. Allen Hynek: The Hynek UFO Report and the UFO Experience, a Scientific Inquiry as well as some of Jaques Vallee's works including Messengers of Deception, Passport to Magonia, Forbidden Science and his more recent work of fiction, Stratagem.
I don't think the field of ufology has moved one inch beyond these two men. Hynek's, The UFO Experience, seems like it could have been written yesterday . . . and the things he has to say about short sighted scientist who laugh at the subject could just as well apply to Bill Nye, the Science Guy. It seems like time has stood still for a quarter centry. Last week, your guest said that when asked why he has gotten out of the ufo field, Vallee responed by saying, "Because I'm not learning anything new."
Is it just me? Have we just been marking time, or maybe even sliding backwards for a quarter century? I wonder what others think. Are we making progress?
