i first became interested in UFOs while at school and in 1975 joined the then British UFO Research Association and from that time until I left it was a non-stop struggle to get anyone to take the subject of "Time Loss" (as I termed them) reports and even after Hynek's "legitimising" the subject with his Close Encounters categories it was still a struggle.
My "crackpot" work (as some called it began back then and it is in its 50th year which is bloody scary. The files bulge out and I have had to stop adding to them since it seems they are still not taken seriously.
This is not stamp collecting where you are doing nothing but collecting and certainly my books have not been one of those Year-by-year books with all the errors and hoax cases included. If I look at a report I try to gather as much information as possible before drawing, if I can, any conclusion.
One thing I have written about before is the collective sit-on-your-ass work conducted by "Ufologists" -Hickson and Parker had an alleged alien abduction experience in 1973 and in that same week so a number of other people had very close encounters. Ufologists were tripping over each other and grabbing "You're Next" tickets to interview them. The other percipients? No one wanted to bother. They were all "black" people and, you know, you just had to ignore them. This has happened time and again and shows why Ufology and Ufologists cannot ever be taken seriously as a science or people working in a science.
As more time passes so too do witnesses and percipients who no one spoke to such as those involved in the Eupora incident or Kathy Reeves who must now be in her late 70s? Once gone we have lost their testimony and that is evidence lost. And, yes, I have tried repeatedly over 10 years to get someone involved in UFO investigation to follow up these reports as cold cases and every time I hit a brick wall.
It is frustrating and depressing and quite honestly makes me want to get certain Ufologists and kick them in the ass.
We have to face it; the search for real UFO evidence (not grifter fakery) died because of Ufologists.
