Congress takes all the fun out of UFOs ‐ I smell coverup!
[NYP] UFO sightings were a fringe thing in the ’60s, a fun mainstream pursuit in the ’70s (a friend of mine staged one with a frisbee and a camera that produced a suitably grainy black-and-white image that could have been used on "In Search Of" and probably was) and took a regrettable detour into an obsession with alien body-cavity exploration techniques in the ’80s.At the moment when the public decided aliens from the Fleepgort Star System probably didn’t travel 11 million miles to rummage around in the bodily orifices of National Enquirer readers, the UFO industry went the way of the "Star Trek" convention, and became a laughingstock. Those among us who still cared in the ’90s continued to get information from a documentary series called "The X-Files," but otherwise things were pretty quiet on the spaceman beat. On Tuesday, Congress held a hearing on UFOs, now known as Unexplained Aerial Phenomena so people won’t giggle as much, for the first time in 50 years: finally, a stimulus package for the imagination! (And one that didn’t cost anything much.) In opening statements, Congressmen assured us that this is a really serious subject, y’all, and there was to be no joking around, nor was anyone to call Posted by: Besoeker 2022-05-18 |
