Catastrophes And Ufos It Not A Contest
Recent catastrophes; earthquakes in China, cyclones in Myanmar,tornadoes in the U.S., have caused some to once again demonize UFOs, or at least, those who choose to explore the mystery of UFOs.

Why the two would have anything to do with each other is beyond me, but the supposed thinking of those who use these tragedies to support their peevish anti-UFO stance makes sense to them, obviously.

Skeptics of many varieties (including, paradoxically, those who acknowledge there are UFOs) don't like most UFO researchers. That aside, they don't like UFOs much either. They're always pissed off at them, because UFOS aren't doing anything. The UFO phenomena's continued behavior of remaining elusive is maddening, torturous in its contradictory, slippery manifestations. And yet, for all the years the UFOs have been around (centuries, really) for all the evidence, they haven't done anything. At least not in a grand, showy way; pulling off some mind blowing trick like turning mountains into ice cream sundaes or finally delivering those flying cars.

They haven't fixed anything, saved anyone, cured any diseases, solved any of the world's problems. They didn't prevent the recent tragedies, or past disasters. They didn't warn us. They haven't stopped war. Racism, ageism, sexism, classism still exist, relgious hatreds and wars continue, people live in poverty. The aliens and UFOs haven't fixed any of it.

This makes some people downright mad. Instead of getting mad at a god, God, Jesus - they're mad at UFOs. And they're madder still at people who study UFOs. The message seems to be that it's somehow all our fault that tragedies happen. And if it isn't our fault, exactly, and/or the UFOs, we're still guilty by association just for seriously thinking about the subject.

I get the feeling these brands of skeptics (and beware; many of them insist they are not skeptics at all and are, in fact, in with the in crowd of UFO researchers) have a whole lot of expectations on what UFOs should do, and what they shouldn't do. Which is ludicrous. They accuse us of being like children; frivolous children who chase after the fleeting, fragile UFO, when it's they that are stuck in magical thinking.

Sure, I "believe" in aliens. Rather, I believe they exist. I believe aliens from other planets, as well as other entities, are all around us. I don't believe in them, however. I don't pray to them or expect them to do anything.

I don't believe every UFO is from outer space, piloted by ET.

I don't believe ET, aliens, entities, Mothman, Bigfoot, or Lizard Man are going to save us, cure us, fix us, heal the planet, or teach me how to parallel park.

I don't think only some should study UFOs, and others shouldn't, and I don't think anyone should, or, shouldn't, just because I said so. Or because anyone else said so.

I don't care who's who, or why, or what they do in their private life, (naturally there are some boundaries here, Christ people, use your common sense) if they party too much, or not enough, -- they "get to" delve into the mysteries of life as much as anyone. In fact, god knows, we need more people getting deep into this stuff!

Using the very real horrors of this world to bash UFO or Fortean research is dishonest. It's disingenuous. It's lazy. It distracts from both the world's cruel realities, as well as anomalous research.

The two aren't in a contest with each other; don't make it one. Don't pit one phenomena against the other as some sort of moral barometer of any given individual.
