Waiting Endlessly for the Answer
By Gene Steinberg
Whenever people first become interested in UFOs, and all the amazing possibilities that entails, they usually want to believe the answers will come soon. If extraterrestrials are here on Earth, someone from the government will reveal the truth, or independent researchers will somehow force it out of them.
Perhaps ET might even stage a massed landing and reveal their presence to everyone.
Since the modern UFO era began in 1947, you can pick a decade, any decade, and you will find the same theories, the same demands for the truth. UFOs are spaceships, and the U.S. government, perhaps acting in concert with governments around the world, are keeping the secret for reasons best known to themselves.
Add to that reports of people who claim to have met up with alien beings in the desert, or in the privacy of their own homes, and you have the basics of the UFO mystery, at least on a surface level. There’s a whole lot more to be discovered when you start to open your eyes and examine the possibilities.
Take the sightings themselves, for example. Sure, UFOs come in different shapes and sizes, but that may just represent different parts of ET’s fleet, or the possibility that Earth is a stopping point for many civilizations from around the universe. It may well be that some or all UFOs are really visitors from another dimension, or even from our own future, although the ETH (extraterrestrial hypothesis) gets the most coverage. Indeed, I suspect most people feel that if UFOs are real, they must be spaceships. It’s either/or.
However, a number of researchers have dug deeper into the UFO enigma and have found that there may be other strange events that often go unreported. In asking a witness about a UFO sighting, for example, the fact that that witness has had other unusual encounters may never be discussed. Maybe there are reports of possible ghosts or other strange apparitions in and around that area, or maybe unusual creatures have been observed in a nearby forest. Perhaps the witness doesn’t want to mention other experiences out of the fear of losing credibility in the eyes of UFO researchers who are clearly looking for physical spacecraft from elsewhere. Or perhaps such questions are asked and answered, but are never published out of a fear of being politically incorrect. Or coming across as just another crackpot.
There are other curious episodes that seem to attach themselves to the UFO mystery, such as reports of “Men In Black,” people who show up after a UFO sighting and interrogate witnesses, sometimes demanding that they keep the details of their experiences a secret. I suppose some of these episodes may just involve hoaxers who want to stir things up to boost their egos. Other visits may indeed involve government agents, and it’s always possible details are being embellished over time to make the vicitors seem more sinister than they really are. Some even suggests that so-called MIB are really UFO aliens who engage in such activities out of hidden motives. You almost imagine that you’re playing a part in a sci-fi film.
As to the governments, well maybe they do know something they aren’t telling us. But you wonder how those secrets are kept through the decades, even as the names of the leaders, and sometimes the type of government, change. How does a secret of this magnitude somehow survive without serious leaks? Or maybe there are leaks, but they are covered up with disinformation to hide the truth, whatever that might be.
One possible way to keep this secret is simply to funnel the data and the ongoing investigation into private industry. In the U.S., the military-industrial complex, consisting of the firms who build the hardware, may be using some of their funding to engage in top-secret research related to the UFO mystery, and they are reporting the results only to those with the “need to know.” There’s certainly enough waste and inefficiency in any government to allow funds to be diverted to a “black project” of some sort.
Remember that large multinational corporations can operate around the world without much official oversight. Payoffs to the right politicians may help skirt the highways and byways of red tape. So are people who work for these corporations privy to secrets about the presence of UFOs? It’s certainly a fascinating conspiracy theory, though you wonder how any of it can be proved. Even if a whistleblower came forth, and there have been some who claimed to know uncomfortable secrets, they can usually be discredited, or otherwise handled in a way that stops the unacceptable behavior before things get out of hand.
Understand that I’m just speculating here. I do not claim to have any inside information that would somehow prove whether any particular scenario is true. Even if I stumbled across an unacceptable truth, how many people in the know would even take me seriously? I’m just a radio talk show host, an entertainer, so I can say lots of wacky things. It goes with the territory.
But it comes down to this: Efforts to solve the UFO mystery have failed, and continue to fail. UFO researchers and organizations continue to collect sightings, and statistical models can be generated to show various shapes, sizes, and perhaps a higher presence in certain areas. All well and good, but does any of that information actually produce answers? Sixty-five years after the modern UFO era began, it doesn’t seem as if we’ve gone anywhere. If UFOs are alien, we don’t know where they came from, why they are here, and, besides, why take any of it seriously?
