I first became interested in the subject a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. Well, not really, but it seems as if an awful lot of time has passed since I discovered a book about flying saucers in the home of my late brother, Wallace, when I was just 11 years of age.
Boy was I hooked into exploring the exciting possibilities that we were being visited by beings from other worlds.
Over the years, my belief systems were beaten, battered and bruised as I discovered more and more cases that simply didn?t fit into to the conventional wisdom, as if alien visitations could be regarded as conventional.
I remembered an all-night gabfest with a close friend, where we concluded that UFOs were actually from other dimensions, not other planets. It surely made a lot of sense at 5:00 AM to couple of curious teenagers. No, my friends, we weren?t drinking. We weren?t old enough to drink, and I never really concerned myself about liquid intoxicants.
However, that was only the beginning of my realization that the UFO mystery was a whole lot more complicated than I might have ever imagined. Spaceships, interdimensional visitors, cryptoterrestrials. The mind boggles, and I actually gave up on the whole mess on a few occasions.
The problems you see in the UFO field today make it pretty clear why it?s so easy to become frustrated with the subject. Infighting is just a small part of this confusing picture, but it?s not just a case of ?can?t we all get along?? You see, some of the people who have gained prominence among Ufologists are in it for reasons other than pure research. Instead, they are seeking their 15 minutes of fame, and some are struggling to increase the timespan to 30 minutes or longer.
In the real world, of course, it?s near impossible to earn a profit from this field, or any paranormal endeavor. Sure, a few manage to stuff their wallets with lots of cash from best-selling books, or perhaps even hosting talk shows on the subject. I can?t personally vouch for such things, since I have yet to see a profit from my exposure to the field. Quite the contrary, I have seen my savings dwindle, but I?m still here.
I suppose it?s easy to suggest that we should give it all up and get on with our lives. That is, until those strange objects return and intrigue us all over again. So, despite the conventional wisdom that it?s all a waste of time, I?m still here hoping against hope that some real answers about the whole thing will come forth in my lifetime.
Peace,
Gene Steinberg
