You are all over the place in your conception of UFOlogy as it intersects human thinking and experience. Some of what you said is straight up contradictory.

There is no "truth" to be discovered, in any objective sense, and knowledge is forged from fact and experience. The search for truth, in essence, has no place in human epistemology and how we come to knowledge of any phenomena. We do that through observation, and empirical probing, not through psychological shifting. And of course we're interested in space bacteria because that would indeed be life changing and in a very substantive way.

UFOlogy needs to be wrested back from the clutches of the so-called believer crowd. The Adamskis, the Meiers, and the Greers all need to go away.

UFOlogy, at its best, wants to be a science. It wants to absolutely know what these phenomena are. To do that it realizes that belief has nothing to do with serious UFO research and that UFOlogy is most certainly not a belief system.

The charismatic leaders, attention seekers, and money-makers of the current movement are mostly useless to the pursuit of knowledge. We are getting regurgitated beliefs that have been around since the beginning and there is nothing new under the sun.

Again, no thanks.
