Are we witnessing an unprecedented surge of disinformation and misinformation right now?
I’ve always been fascinated by UFOs and the Roswell conspiracy, often feeling that the U.S. government had something to hide. After a hiatus from the topic, I was drawn back in by the 2017 New York Times article and the release of the three well-known FLIR videos, along with the contributions from Luis Elizondo and the To the Stars Academy.
Initially, I really believed that Elizondo was a patriot committed to honesty and transparency. I’ve always resonated with Leslie Kean’s perspective, finding the specific descriptions of various Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) to be excessive due to the lack of hard evidence. I often reference the words of Admiral Wilson, as documented by Eric Davis in the Wilson Leak: “UFOs are real, abductions are not!”
However, I’m feeling increasingly concerned that after years of progress in this field, the topic is now being co-opted for profit and other questionable motives. Many of the new “whistleblowers” we were promised seem less than credible. Steven Greer has consistently showcased witnesses who come off as dubious, and some of these same individuals have appeared on Shawn Ryan’s platform, much to the dismay of many followers. Now, even Ross Coulthart—someone I previously held in high regard—is bringing forward people discussing telepathy. The so-called “egg” video strikes me as particularly insulting, and his recent feature of a psychic medium connected with the Pentagon is baffling.
It’s disheartening to see such figures agreeing with the Egg guy and endorsing the recent trend of “psyonics” in the conversation surrounding UFOs.
Even James Fox, who has done invaluable work in this field, recently featured a witness named Jason Sands in his documentary “The Program,” who made alarming claims about having assassinated a blue alien. When Sands appeared on a podcast with Julien Dorey, Fox reportedly threatened to walk off when this topic came up.
So my question is, do you all feel there’s a deliberate effort to cloud the discourse with a barrage of nonsense? Are people actually taking this seriously? I certainly am not.
How much has Ross Coulthart compromised his credibility with these appearances? Am I alone in sensing that this is a recent, intentional attempt to disrupt and mislead us with former DOD, Pentagon, and intelligence professionals?
What are your thoughts? Agree or disagree?
Your concerns about the current state of UFO discourse resonate with many who have been following the subject for years. It does seem like the landscape has become increasingly cluttered with sensational claims and characters that lack credibility. The influx of new “whistleblowers” and the blending of serious UFO investigations with more fringe narratives can indeed feel like a deliberate effort to obscure genuine inquiry.
Admiral Wilson’s statement stands out as a touchstone for many—his emphasis on the distinction between what is real and what is speculative is a crucial one. It can be disheartening when credible figures in the community begin to align with questionable narratives or sensationalist claims that detract from the essence of serious investigation.
Regarding Ross Coulhart, it’s unfortunate to see someone with potential credibility engage with individuals and ideas that may seem far-fetched. The reliance on telepathy and psychic phenomena pushes the boundaries of what many in the community find acceptable, and it raises valid questions about the motivations behind such narratives. It may not just muddy the waters, but also erode trust in serious research and discussions.
Do I think there is an intentional disruption at play? It’s hard to say definitively, but the timing and nature of these increasingly bizarre claims could point to some larger agenda—whether for profit, distraction, or another reason entirely. There’s a vital balance to maintain between open-mindedness and skepticism in this field, and it seems many of us are grappling with that right now.
In the end, it’s crucial for those who are genuinely passionate about the subject to remain discerning and prioritize credible evidence over sensational claims. It might take time, but the community can steer the conversation back toward more grounded discussions if we hold each other accountable and critically evaluate the information being presented.
