The UFO Community

The UFO community consists of the people who find this subject attractive for some reason. There are authors who have written and sold books on the subject, people who have seen strange objects in the sky, those who claim to have been abducted or have willingly entered a craft, and those who claim to study the phenomenon
By far the biggest complaint of the UFO community has been the lack of interest by the "Main Stream Science" community. Why is it they ask that so many sightings and so much evidence goes un looked at? There must be a cover up in place!
But then if one takes a step back and looks at just who is in the mix with the rest you can see why few scientists worth their PHD would associate with them.
For every average Joe that has seen something in the sky there is someone who claims that the answer is metaphysical and that the "Saucers" are actually from another dimension and are just projected into our minds. The discussion runs from images of pure energy to solid objects operated by our own government in secret. Physics, Quantum Physics, and the Occult all get tossed into the mix and stirred vigorously.
Another huge problem for their credibility is their gullibility. One one site I visit I have seen a complete change in what is quoted as "accepted" or " widely accepted" theories. A change brought about by little more than a new member who has a decent mastery of words.
And then there is the Science Fiction influence.
Oh where to begin on this one!
Suffice it to say that the long running series Stargate-SG1 has left a lasting impression on how the Grey ETs are viewed. And that Close Encounters of The Third Kind, and ET, have convinced millions of the good intentions of any ETs that may drop by.
There may be some hope for a decent investigation though. The UFO group MUFON has teamed with a billionaire to study sightings. The "generous donor" has a motive of his own of course, he owns a company trying to develop technology based on reported capabilities of these things.
And thus is born another conspiracy theory.
