Death of Ufology
Friday, August 15th, 2008Wendy Connors
Ufology is in a state of self denial. For most intents and purposes it appears to be a dead issue. Why is this? Because it is practiced by few and infiltrated by the many, who fail to realize the importance of the phenomena as a scientific endeavor worthy of respect and appreciation for its unique nomenclature of a mystery needing clear explanation. Saddling the study of the phenomenon through various avenues, such as applying close-ended skepticism, debunking through ignorance or hidden agenda and expounding upon it with non- factual data and hypotheses and enlarging the scope of Ufology to include all areas of Fortean variety, cheapens the scientific quest for understanding and explanation.
