I am quite sure that with all the fake disclosure and Elizondo, Mellon, etc, people have noted how the first "take control of the subject" rule was as smooth as silk: start saying "UAP" instead of "UFO" and get those susceptible to adopt this. Everyone literally dropped their pants for counter intelligence man Lu Elizondo who has admitted he was asked to apply his "counter intelligence skills to UFOs" and also admitted that until that time he had no interest in "UFOs" (yep several times he drops the ball and says "UFO"!
You Tube was filled with people who are "pursuing the UAP question" -none of them active before the big (temporary) popularity of "UAPs" and since the big push and Elizondo and co. going quiet they are falling about at the seems while waiting for "disclosure" (again x23) -even esoteric subjects from the New Age 1960s on are being looked at and to be honest if theories and beliefs have not been proven after 60-70 years then the new UAPers are just kicking dust about.
Step 2, of course, was to turn those conducting serious research into UFOs the "bad guys" while they, who have lied and misled Ufology for years become the "good guys". And what happened? The absolute morons bought it -no real effort on the part of Elizondo (a quite bad actor to be honest) as he blocked and had his new minions attack and threaten serious researchers and even their families and in the meantime Elizondo pisses himself with laughter at a job too easily done.
Then we have Gary Nolan who spouts fakery and, if someone so much as asks him a serious question: blocked on Twitter (there is now a long list of people he has blocked on Twitter and elsewhere. He has no evidence and rather like Elizondo often finds it hard to keep his story consistent.
Nolan, Mellon and Elizondo have not produced one single shred of evidence just the usual "I am the good guy don't trust those UFO researchers -here is some more free bullshit"
The same names keep circling as more Messengers of Deception lead the weak minded worshippers of Ufology by the Bobbit. And then, of course, we now have them spinning -not saying outright of course just giving us a "suggestion" that there are no extra terrestrials but (oh gods not again) time travellers, multi dimensional entities and even some forms of "spirits". Guess who everyone of these bunko boys quotes or mentions so that the weak minded HAVE to accept this crap? Jacques (the original Messenger of Deception) Vallee -who is also distracting everyone with a new book and if rumours are true a new documentary about ANOTHER fictional flying saucer crash and this time in 1945.
Ufology has now become fiction-fantasy.

Oh...and to add to all of this we now have Whitley Streiber:
“One reason that I doubt that aliens have flown here from someplace like Zeta Reticuli to study us is that the contact experience includes two seemingly disparate aspects: 1. Encounters with the dead 2. Encounters with nonhuman beings”
Right. Encountering the dead is likely fantasy prone individuals or persons entering an altered state. I have studied Close Encounters of the Third Kind/Alien Entity reports for 50+ years and I have never come across a case that seemed to be genuine (or fake for that matter) involving UFOs and encounters with dead people. That is outright rot.
Uh, well, if -IF- aliens from another planet one would not call them "humans" as that is an Earthly concept/term. Humanoid body form okay. If he means entities that are non humanoid then I have to say that every one of those cases that I have tracked down of non-humanoids has proven to be a press hoax, hoax by ufologists on other Ufologists or simply fake/altered state created.
This is something I have noted with certain "leading light celebrities". Budd Hopkins has been proven to have faked things and even accepted 'evidence' that he KNEW was faked to publish and present as fact. As a person who supported him in the early days is gives me no satisfaction to write this. For 30 + years he corrupted Ufological research -as has David Jacobs and others. There are people out there who will not accept that UFOs are associated with anything other than the fictionalised Greys which, as the late Ann Druffel pointed out, did not exist in Ufology UNTIL Hopkins and his work.
People are being led down false roads to be told they MUST believe UFOs and entities are multi-dimensional or some sort of spirit (the old Contactee stories) while also being told by THE person pushing for multiversal origins, Jacques Vallee, that a flying saucer from space crashed in 1945 ("Trinity").
Why should you not trust Vallee who mixes with all of this tight-knit group of deceivers from Skinwalker ranch to the "UAP" folk?

Think. Listen and read what these people say but look for evidence and I can tell you now that not one of these people has evidence and, frankly, in my opinion, no credibility.
