The idea of young people not being interested in ufos or paranormal subjects might be legitimate, but there is another point here worth considering. And that is - There do not seem to be very clear-cut ways to get involved in the ufo investigation subject and the "authorities" in the subject don't seem to be especially helpful.
For example, I don't consider myself to be exactly youthful (I'm 30), but I'm younger than some of the big guys in the field and I've actually written to some of them telling them that I am seriously interested in getting involved in ufo investigation. I've even donated money to ufo-related organizations such as the disclosure project and the paradigm research group.
A while back I was motivated by a video where Stanton Friedman lamented over the lack of youth involvement in the ufo field, and that very day I wrote to Mr Friedman and told him that I would like to get involved and that I am seriously interested, could he give me advice on how to get involved?
His very brief reply consisted of a list of the 3 main ufo books in the field. How exactly was this supposed to help me get involved? If someone wrote to me saying what I had said I would not assume that they were completely ignorant of the subject, so I didn't understand the terseness of his reply. Didn't he want more youth involvement?
Considering this situation, I think it might be useful to discuss a general course of action for people to follow who wish to become more involved in the ufo field. Something other than just giving money or starting up another random web page.
