The truth may not be out there
November 5, 2012 at 12:49 pm
From The Telegraph:
UFO enthusiasts admit the truth may not be out there after all
Quote:Declining numbers of “flying saucer” sightings and failure to establish proof of alien existence has led UFO enthusiasts to admit they might not exist after all.
David Clark, a Sheffield Hallam University academic and the UFO adviser to the National Archives, said: “The subject is dead in that no one is seeing anything evidential.
“Look at all the people who now have personal cameras. If there was something flying around that was a structured object from somewhere else, you would have thought that someone would have come up with some convincing footage by now – but they haven’t.
“The reason why nothing is going on is because of the internet. If something happens now, the internet is there to help people get to the bottom of it and find an explanation.
“Before then, you had to send letters to people, who wouldn’t respond and you got this element of mystery and secrecy that means things were not explained.
“The classic cases like Roswell and Rendlesham are only classic cases because they were not investigated properly at the time.”
That bit about lack of evidence is particularly interesting, not to mention ominous for a similar subject I could mention. If people can wake up to this sort of thing in one area, it ought to hold for other areas just as well.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm shocked...

Mulder would blame it on the Conspiracy.

Even Mulder gave up when the evidence was overwhelmingly not in his favor.

Especially as we know that in his world, this stuff really exists.

They've developed stealth UFOS!
