who are the supposed kings of ufology?
What are their names?
The only people that have really driven the narrative within Ufology over the last 50 years are either directly connected to TTSA or have loose connections to them. The others are within the IC its-self, that has openly admitted to spreading disinformation about little green men to use it as cover to protect USAF assets, such as the U2 and the stealth program which are only 2 examples.
They are the story tellers, the narrative pushers, the conference speakers, the book sellers, the merchandise sellers, the podcast hosts. We are simply people on an internet forum, who don't have any say in what goes on nor do we decide on the direction of the narrative that is being presented. All we can do is dissect the information that is presented, have a logical, adult debate around the "facts" and information that is presented.
If you are implying anyone here, bar a few, we are just people on an internet forum and with the greatest of respect, most people don't listen to people on internet forums, nor do we consider this "our turf"
The irony is, that you defend and spout TTSA PR as truth, when in fact the people within it and connected to are the story tellers that want to control the narrative.
I'm not going to give you a history of Ufology, you clearly have access to Google and YT. But in all main stories over the last 25-30 years, the same people come up time and time again. Guess what? Most of them are involved in TTSA as I stated previously or at worst loosely connected. This is not however an indication that they are "working towards the truth" or for the good of the people, most of these people have their own self agendas, interests; some of which are financial, others have had their occult/theosophical interests and funding cut and want more money for their hobby to continue.

This thread was peaceful with adults disagreeing agreeably until you showed up with all your rancor.

The response from the ufological community has been surprisingly petulant and hostile, imo. It's like they see this subject as "their turf," and they seem to feel threatened by TTSA and the AATIP story.
Apparently the majority of the people in the field see themselves as the gatekeepers of the truth, and this new organization has pilfered their megaphones, because TTSA is getting us actual, legitimate new information of extremely significant value....something that the ufologists who have made a home in this field for the last several decades, haven't been able to provide. Especially the ones in this thread, the "keyboard cynics".

I think their focus is really all about the biological effects of people interacting with the phenomena at close range and the effects that have been caused. Humans are data sets, nodes of information, we have biological readouts, UAP related injuries and other things that are measurable. I think this is the reason why they have so many biologists on-board, I cant think of any other reason why they would have them on-board otherwise!

"Rerecord not fadeaway" proved to be true I guess.
Excellent analysis. Literally the skeletons in my closet (storage facilities). They will be buried the longest too.
Scotch is highly recommended. Ring any Bells?

Especially after all these decades and lessons learned from a rogues gallery of shady individuals? There will always be cynics. You can either ignore them and stick passionately to your admirable defensive stance towards TTSA - which truly deserves its own advocate, just as anyone under suspicion - or attack them incessantly with an underlying, rather unpleasant aggressive stance not exhibited by anyone else here.
The latter stance is gathering pace, and it isn't pretty for anyone since you clearly disagree with the entire drive of the thread since its inception.
Here's an idea. Arouet - start a passionate, positive-leaning TTSA thread that details all the factors that convince you of Elizondo and Co's inherent worth - a counterpoint to Mirageman's take, if you will. It will be YOUR baby, your ship; you'll be the Captain at the helm, and I'll find it just as fascinating to read, wallow in, and discuss on a friendly basis. Even Zondo's attire can be entirely ignored into the bargain.
DO it. You know you want to. And I want you to, if that's worth anything from one person on the internet to another.

Thought I'd join in the discussion here. I've been following this thread since the beginning, and what pigsy2400 said here is something everyone should keep in mind.
Every one of the TTSA guys, minus Zondo and TDL, have been orbiting UFOlogy for a long time. That in itself is enough to warrant the skepticism.
That doesn't mean there isn't hope though, I myself still remain optimistic that they will produce something of substance. I don't think the material investigation will go anywhere, but I hope they will release official documents relating to the Nimitz incident soon.
I think the best hope for TTSA, is to prove enough, that it generates interest for academics and scientists who have stayed away for fear of losing their jobs and the ridicule in the past. If they can do that, then the whole field moves forward towards the answers we all seek.

This will be my last reply to any of your posts, as it is clearly not worth discussing anything with you further as you have made this thread about you and not the subject at hand. It's my personal belief that this was your objective from the start.
So blah balh balh
