Each report has to be treated individually not as part of a clump of reports

 In my It's Been Over Three Years post it appears that I was not clear enough.

I think that the data shows that Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Alien Entity cases are rare. They may total (depending on what your criteria for acceptance are) just a couple of hundred reports and many have not been investigated to any degree.

I use the term Close Encounters of the Third Kind (CE3K) as I believe the plethora of encounter types put forward are confusing things. If you are going to use the 4th, 5th or whichever to indicate a suspected psychological case then just state "CE3K -Psychological". The vast majority of alleged "generational alien abductions" and "Greys" accounts can be dismissed. Hopkins and Jacobs et al just lost the plot and Jacobs in particular has flown into nonsensical fantasy.

Witnesses in UFO landings who saw entities only briefly were put under hypnosis to see "whether anything else happened thatthey had forgotten" and from there we went into the Greys and generational abductions and even pre-birth abductions and past lives abductions. No one within Ufology seriously questioned this. 

In fact the utter ignorance of self claimed "veteran Ufologists" who claim to have been investigating for "thirty plus years" is amazing. Refer to CE3Ks and you hear "Well, people reporting those little critters" and that  followed by "Whatever that's meant to be about" -moronic. You "believe" these are alien (or the current favourite for which there is absolutely no scientific data) or"other dimensional" and "multiversal" -good for sci fi and comic books or movies but really. The point is just what or whom do these "seasoned veterans" actually think are piloting their extra terrestrial craft? 

It is almost as though they get their Ufological training from trash TV documentaries, You Tube and the old Weekly World News.  The very first quesation that they should be asking themselves is; "If these are extra terrestrial craft -what is controlling/piloting them?" That was the very first question I asked as a smooth-faced newbie in 1973. Sadly, all I really got was the George Adamski and other contactee "space brothers" crap and at the time I asked outright why, if these space brothers were here to stop us having a nuclear war and destroying ourselves why the bloody hell were they just whizzing around the planet picking up some of the most ridiculous and crooked people around?

If you see a Boeing 747 or a military jet you KNOW that it is being piloted. That makes logical sense.  So is "lard on the brain" stopping Ufologists realising the same about their claimed "extraterrestrial craft"? Come on. After 30-35 years they sit on their asses reading UFO books and magazines and all the fake documents put out there but skirt past anything looking at CE3K?  

I once watched a You Tube video in which an ex cop turned Ufologist was talking about his crack team of investigators, showing off files and maps and do you know what had occupied their timeas crack MUFON investigators for several months?  A small point of light high in the sky that had moved erratically before vanishing -"only a pinpoint of light but it is  significant".  How?  Do you know how much space junk there is up there and do you realise that not every satellite put into orbit is officially listed so you can check what time it passes overhead?

Jacques Vallee, Ted Phillips and many others have much lauded 'data bases' but when you look atwhat they have gathered and listed as actual factual events but that were known as hoaxes or explained in the 1960s you notice that thpose data bases are pointless. When you see them referring to accounts from newspapers as the source because no one in 30, 40 or 55 years has actually investigated the cases then you realise Ufology has nothing. When you tick off one known hoax from a supposedly "scientific catalogue" it is bad enough but 10? 20? that is just a new form of collecting so that you can brag how many reports you have.

If you look into as many cases as possible and get as much data as you can (which I have since 1974) then you realise that many accounts are newspaper, Ufological or other hoaxes and many are misidentifications -one landed UFO with an occupant carrying outrepairs on it during the False French UFO Wave of 1954 turned out to be a broken down bus -known locally and later picked up on by others but that case is still cited today -inbcluding by Jacques Vallee.

What I meant in that post was this: not "many hundreds" and certainly not "many thousands" of 'credible CE3Ks but maybe 150-200 that need more looking into. Certainly NOT "millions of humans abducted by aliens".

Each report has to be treated individually not as part of a clump of reports.
