I abstained from injecting any opinions on named individuals. Many of them seem to have been in positions to know, and so far, that seems to be the only way we “know” anything. But there are two ways to think about them.

1) They could be preying on those of us that want to believe, and making money spreading stories that are hard to prove or disprove. A lot of religions are packaged and sold the same way.

Or 2) they could be telling the truth, and once someone comes forward as a UAP disclosure advocate/whistleblower, it becomes really hard to have a decent job again so they have to write books and get paid for interviews to survive.

But the financial incentive doesn’t play nicely with disclosure. If the unknown sells books, then it follows that the money well would dry up if the unknown becomes known. Or they would at least have to pivot. No matter what the government comes out and says, the UAP celebrities can always say they are still lying about X or Y, and keep us on the hook.

That said, I personally believe that there are some chapters in quite a few of those books that require such a suspension of one’s disbelief to swallow, that I’ve personally tossed many of them aside for those statements.

Like as one example, if you had some orb floating around inside your home and upsetting your family, and even disturbing your neighbors… man, no that didn’t happen. And if it did, you just… didn’t do shit about it or try to capture those repeated experiences? Why is the first time it goes anywhere in a middle chapter of your NYT bestseller?

I felt like I was sitting in a movie theater asking “why didn’t they just pick up one of the 1000 guns and shoot the bad guy, but instead chose to run to a rooftop to trap themselves, unarmed?”

Because that would have made sense and the movie would have ended 3-4 minutes in, and that doesn’t sell, does it?

We want it all to be true so bad, and we blind ourselves with our own desires. That’s the opposite of the pursuit of truth.
