THE ILLUSION OF UFOS - seeing is not always believing

Tweet

I used to read about UFOs back in the 60's when it was very popular and an organization who called themselves PROJECT BLUE BOOK investigators of UFO sightings trying to make the conspiracy stick, led me down a very deep rabbit hole of personal investment of time and books from the local library as well as purchasing many books on the topic at a local corner drug store, that at that time and date, were my source of magazines, paperback books and record LP albums of the then current rock and roll music. Wards Drugstore was the store for me. It was located at the corner of a shopping center just a quarter of one mile from my parent's home. I would walk to that drug store hoping to find a 95 cent paperback book on the subject of UFOs. While just curious, as always, about things that are not easily explained, I was curious enough but gullible at that time and young age, so I began to read about Unidentified Flying Object sightings and more importantly, abductions of people who would find themselves unable to recall the details afterward and thinking that they had been taken aboard an alien spacecraft and talked to by large headed and almond black eyes without actually speaking. They used, as it is alleged, telepathy to communicate with the human abductees. I think there was a time when UFOs were the talk of the neighborhood. The media went all out to represent the latest sightings and for a short time in my childhood years I was caught up in this fad or rather, this nation's obsession with people coming into contact with superior human like beings, from beyond this galaxy. I then began looking up at the stars at night, hoping to get a glimpse of a space ship. Yea. right. If you stare off into space long enough, you might actually see a star begin to move, but this could only be a trick the mind plays on a person when they are so full of false expectations. I might go as far as to say, if people talk about a thing long enough and hard enough, they might even think they have themselves become a subject of alien contact. This is why I am so fascinated about it. The idea of UFOs is one thing but the reality an entirely different matter. Mass hysteria comes to mind. I know there are lots of conspiracy buffs out there who will actually want to convince me that UFOs are real but I've been on that road, or rather down that hole and I have eventually, over time, come up for air.
