Is the Truth Out There Or Not?
By Jim Forsyth
Is the truth out there...or not?
European UFO researchers say the number of sightings of unidentified flying objects is way down over the past 20 years, down 96% by one estimate, and they're afraid that what has become known as 'ufology,' the study of unidentified flying objects,' may be dead in the next decade.
European researchers say new technology has made people a lot more savvy about what does and does not qualify as 'unidentified.' They also say the fact that after decades of UFO sightings, dating back to the Roswell incident in 1947, there has been no firm progress in confirming the existence of UFOs, people are beginning to think they may not exist after all.
Something else that has led to the disbanding of some European UFO organizations is the fact that many of its newer members are believers in wild conspiracy theories which threaten to open wider what long time Seguin UFO researcher and MUFON Director Walter Andrus called 'The Laughter Curtain,' the ability of mainstream scientists and researchers to joke away reports of UFO sightings instead of taking them seriously.
Official inquiry into UFOs has generally ceased. The British Military of Defense announced earlier this year that it was no longer investigating UFO sightings, and the U.S. Air Force's 'Project Blue Book' was closed in the 1970s, with both agencies reporting that there is no evidence that UFOs constitute a threat to the UK or the US.
