The Fight for Ufology and UFOs_________________________
Terms Thought Should Not Be?________________________
OK, so I suppose we have to have a conversation about these two things, the term UFOs “Unidentified Flying Objects” are associated with aliens in most people’s perception when they are spoken of, the image of a little grey guy with a big head pops into mind. So many would like to change the term to something else, usually this is from people who don’t buy into the E.T hypothesis or simply don’t know and remain open. I myself do not mind the term and what it is associated with. I research UFOs, abductions, astronomy, astrobiology, cattle mutilations and the likes, but the term UFOs holds something different to the general public rather then to those who investigate such things. To me the term is associated with something that is in the sky that is anomalies, I do not draw conclusions but rather look at the evidence. I do not belong to a group like MUFON or any others but am on my own. So why do we care as people who look into and investigate things, what the interpretation of how the public views the Term UFOs means? Well we shouldn’t. The term UFOs is not only E.Ts and aliens anymore but as some view paranormal/ inter-dimensional.
So, my argument is that changing this term is not going to help anything, in fact it may make things worse, I have found by listening to thousands of podcasts over the years, reading articles, reading books and conducting research that an argument can be made that some people push the Inter-dimensional hypothesis as much as people push the E.T hypothesis, if not more in fact. The answer is it is all speculation and jumping to any conclusion is foolish without enough data and evidence and is unscientific in any fashion you view the term science. The days of Dr. J. Allen Hynek are over to some, nowadays we just have people who read reports and just speculate off of that rather then investigate anything the old-fashioned way, and incorporate some new ways, but rather they insult the people attempting to do that and we have terms like nuts and bolts as an example. All I can say is can anyone conclusively prove that not to be the case rather than say something outlandish? Not really instead we get speculation and oddly name calling and beat up and trash some old guys work in the study of UFOs he has spent a lifetime working on.
Now the term UFOLOGY as is has been come to be known as well I will say I believe the term came about to bring more validity to the subject and study of UFOs. A good example of this can be found in the book “Evolutionary Ufology by Jordan Hoffer”. Jordan Hoffer is a former teacher of anthropology and evolution, he takes this to the field of UFOs and abductions and speculates on the evolution of the greys from a scientific view in a fun kind of way. Jordan Hoffer takes the accounts of abductees and attempts to speculate as well in his book “Little Grey Bastards”. The author knows his stuff, but he brings a quite scientific credibility to the field of UFOs and abductions. Many dislikes this term due to the public association with aliens as well once you explain to them what “Ufology” means, iv had to run into this scenario myself. That being said why is there a big thing about the term UFOs and Ufology? Because some in the field also equate these terms with E.Ts and aliens as well due to public perceptions as argued of why they are bad terms. My argument is we all perceive things the way we want, as well as take the information we have gathered to draw our own hypothesis and want a less all-encompassing term.
My finale words on this for the time being are I don’t mind either term due to the fact that that unidentified flying objects are what I investigate without conclusion and the term Ufology is a personal term for all the work and effort I have put into my research for over 10 years now, I am a Ufologist, I study the unexplained whither E.T, inter-dimensional, time traveler or whatever other theories arise. You may look at the phenomena the way you wish but Don’t Neil DeGrasse Tyson us and attempt do make Ufology and UFOs into Pluto, no matter how much those who have an issue want"and I could name a few authors right off the bat" its not up to you what terms are used. Use what you wish. At a later date I will approach the inter-dimensional hypothesis and address that but for now here you are.
