At the height of a contentious political contest and while still waiting for the tardy DNI/DOD Congressional report, it’s time to reflect on ufological history. Marik Von Rennenkampff contrasts the reporting in The New York Times and Daily Mail we’ve been profiling, noting this clash of explanations has existed in the government and military since the earliest days of the “modern UFO era.” Incidentally, good sources regarding the history of this UFO controversy are UFOs and Government, published by Anomalist Books, and The Close Encounters Man: How One Man Made the World Believe in UFOs. Maybe it’s better there’s this current impasse, as Vicky Verma’s recent article on Stephen Bassett headlines Washington’s UFO Lobbyist: If UFO Data Revealed, World’s Economy Would Collapse. The write-up’s gist is somewhat less dire, and we read that Bassett plans a web series to spread his views more effectively. And Miguel (“Red Pill Junkie”) Romero recalls past political contests with His Heart Was with the People: Gabriel Green, The UFO Presidential Candidate. Romero’s composition offers points for reflection with both our first and second stories, not to mention that listening to the Buchanan Brothers may indeed be a requirement for “a student of Ufology”!
