You're not annoying me. But Sagan does. Big time.

But Sagan did, or his words still do? :)

He also made a whole lot of people interested in space exploration, which is a good thing. At least to me.

As defined by Jules Lopoff

A lot of ufers are giving up. I understand their frustration with the

direction the field seems to have taken. The fringe apparently has become

mainstream in the view of many folks invested in the study just as James

Carrion has concluded. But to discard a half century of witness

testimony seems self defeating. The problem with Ufology has always

been the lack of physical evidence in support of eyewitness accounts. In

order to create a coherent theory the existence of artifacts would seem to

be essential. Lacking that, the field is wide open to fantasy, hoax and

speculation. But based upon the vast body of eye witness accounts alone,

many by well qualified and objective observers, it's ridiculous to conclude

that we're not dealing with a real and profound phenomenon. It seems to

me that the field hasn't really advanced beyond the original research of

the father of the all, Don Keyhoe, in the 1950s and 60s. Credible

researchers like Rich Dolan have simply continued Don's method of

aggregating and classifying sightings. But that's never been enough for

those whose curiosity has been piqued by the possibility of extraterrestrial

discovery and contact with earth- be it UTH, ETH or something else as yet

unimagined. It's said that nature abhors a vacuum. The vacuum of

Ufology has proven to be no exception to that rule.


Keep your faith and keep your eyes on the skies, brother. This exquisite

wonder is too valuable and important to toss overboard.
