Terrance McKenna says " it's not so much what are the UFOs.... but what do they do to society?" Science , religion and politics cannot account for them.... they don't fit..... and who is in charge that could make them fit.... the pope? The president? Neil Degrass Tyson?
I take the UFO phenomenon seriously, but not Ufology.
The problem with Ufology is that the UFO presence is "crazy" to our normal perception of reality, and so "crazy" is an accepted part of the UFO community.
It opens the floodgates for every delusional mind to be heard.
