Paranormal Adept
The skeptics of the paranormal in general, but ufo's in particular must be giddy these past couple of months. I've said time and time again that I don't beleive we are being visited by space folks. I've seen one or two people come on here and their evidence is "metal" and "ground indentions." Yep! And yet they sling inuendos at other people who simply admit that the only reason they beleive in anything is faith. Even though I would love to see James Randi swallow his dentures and Michael Schermer have a sputtering fit with some "real" honest ufo evidence. I just don't see it EVER happening. I've gone from "skeptic" about ufo's to "atheist" about ufo's. I'm sorry to say they are just not there. Well, ufo's are there but they are not spacemen/women. To be honest the only "honest" paranormal research is touched on and done by people like Pin Van Lomel and Rupert Sheldrake and the past work of Rhine. The work of Grosso and others. But, it's not flashy and it's not wham,bam lights in the sky. You have to read through boring statistics and control groups stats and rebuttals and arguments and come away knowing NOTHING is proven beyond doubt. Maybe, thats why there are so many charlatans in ufo "cough,cough" research. It's a lot easier to say "Hey, look there's a light in the sky and I have a PHD from Granola State" than to do the actual grunt work. I really respect Chris O'brien and Stanton Friedman and even (if I can say it here) Paul Kimbal for looking and trying to find the truth. Even though all of them and others come at it from different angles and worldviews. Anyway, I finally,finally understand Don walking away from this shit. It's easier to just find your "inner" radar and be a casual dabbler than to get some of this crap all over you. Total honesty here:
If I had not had the expereinces in life that I've had. If I didn't have a very real (though conflicted) inner life and seen the things I've seen. Well, I would not on the basis of any so called "research" that I've seen here or read about believe in any of this stuff. I'll keep watching the skies but I am very, very skeptical these days.
