ウ JUST SAY "I DON'T KNOW" ウ

ウThough I have been mystified by the UFO phenomenon for 30 ウ
ウyears, I'm at least bemused by the attitudes of many who ウ
ウhaunt its meeting places, special events, lecture halls, ウ
ウmagazines and...newsletters. ウ
ウ ウ
ウWith the certitude and messianic fervor of the chosen, they ウ
ウexpound their cherished beliefs: "I know there's an ウ
ウinternational conspiracy to keep us from the truth!" says ウ
ウone. "The revelations being channelled from the Arcturians ウ
ウare really illuminating!" gushes another. "We have star ウ
ウchildren!" writes a lady who claims communion with ウ
ウVenusians. "...A powerful force from outside mankind ウ
ウis...driving us...into the abyss!" exclaims a European ウ
ウufologist who insists the "evidence" is mounting. At least ウ
ウ"3.7 million" men, women and children have been abducted by ウ
ウUFOs, concludes a recent Roper Poll - according to some. ウ
ウWhat? UFOs? Shucks, friend, they're just a lot of "ionized ウ
ウair," states a plasma vortex theorist, as if summarizing a ウ
ウstranger-than-fiction phenomenon that's been making fools ofウ
ウfolks for over 45 years. ウ
ウ ウ
ウAnd, meanwhile, in the midst of all the self-indulgence and ウ
ウegospeak, the ubiquitous Phil Klass, who apparently sees ウ
ウhimself as a minister to the misguided, and is seen by ウ
ウothers as the Prime Minister of Misinformation and ウ
ウMisinterpretation, declaims, with equal acumen and ウ
ウassurance, that UFOs are all a lot of beguiling baloney and ウ
ウthat the very idea our government is hiding information ウ
ウabout UFOs is...unpatriotic. Whatever happened to the UFO ウ
ウmystery? Has it finally been solved by the disinformation ウ
ウlobby and the same species of simpleton who, a few decades ウ
ウago, would have called it "marsh gas?" ウ
ウ ウ
ウHas it been levitated out of consensus reality by those who ウ
ウchannel 2,000-year-old entities, party with star people, ウ
ウhave transcendental visions and access to revealed truths? ウ
ウOr has it become the tool and teething ring of "New Age" ウ
ウmessiahs and missionaries, cultists and confabulators, ウ
ウhustlers and hoaxers in pursuit of emotional, psychological,ウ
ウeconomic, and other misbegotten agendas? ウ
ウ ウ
ウThere is, still, regardless of what anyone tells you, a UFO ウ
ウmystery. Maybe they're extraterrestrial. Maybe not. Thereウ
ウis, still, an abduction mystery. Maybe the abductors are ウ
ウengaging in what Flying Saucer Review calls a "broad plan ofウ
ウgeneric tinkering." Maybe not. Maybe crop circles are the ウ
ウwork of fairies, or a sign of imminent earth changes, or ウ
ウclever hoaxes, or unidentified natural phenomena, or a ウ
ウcombination thereof. And maybe not. Why must we have a ウ
ウfixed and fatuous notions regarding such phenomena? ウ
ウ ウ
ウSomeone once claimed that just saying "I don't know," when ウ
ウwe most assuredly do not, "know", is the beginning of ウ
ウwisdom. ウ
