@semisomnus @catvincent @Alderley @Trevor_Pyne Is ridiculing UFO research productive? Obviously not (unless you are working for certain agencies), but I would argue, it is understandable at times given the piss-poor state of that research community.

@semisomnus @catvincent @Alderley @Trevor_Pyne British media coverage of UFOs was very different in tone up until the early 1980s, but the British and American mindset of othering and winnable wars is hard to put a fag-paper between on most days.

@catvincent @Alderley @Trevor_Pyne Because making it ETH is more othering and fits in with dominant existing cultural narratives. Also, admitting it‰Ûªs native and not capable of being defeated, doesn‰Ûªt sit well with certain cultural narratives.
