A Manifesto For The New Ufology...

From a paper by Paul Budding at some sight called the Terran Tribune: Harbinger of Intersteller News. This is very much in line with what I had posted recently about a growing shift in paranormal exploration. Some are lighting out for the territory; while others are standing firm, reassessing the data, objectives, and scope of various disciplines....

"The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) equates to a Living Myth. Many people love the feeling of awe and fascination that goes with the UFO Phenomenon and therefore they will not give up ETH. Giving up ETH would amount to giving up on archetypal awe, fascination, mystery etc. Therefore scientific and academic Ufology lacks confidence in itself precisely because the mythological projections onto the field contain so many archetypal contents and unconscious assumptions. Hence the field senses its own biases and makes it impossible to establish consensus within itself. Indeed for ETH to be the correct explanation there would have to be a coincidence of the myth equating to the reality of the phenomenon and vice versa."
