Ufoloogy is certainly not dead, indeed its probably the healthiest it ever been with all the tic tacs and other military confirmations.

Now, what reason may be behind it is another question, as it could be they are using UFOs as a way of hiding secret projects (wouldn't be the first time) or they have more information about them that they want people to ignore.

We should also remember where ufology came from - post-war Cold War panic. People were looking for Soviet superweapons (or American if you lived in the USSR). That's all done now.
So all these things. And the dying embers of ufology are watched by a few old men while the world indifferently moves ahead. No more time to look for leprechauns.

Yeah that's true. Maybe it changes little. I do like to think that UFOs will always remain an enigma to humanity, it would be fairly boring if we did understand the phenomenon, far more interesting to me that the whole thing makes little sense

Disclosure is over we are well into the Acceptance Phase already.
Acceptance of what?

Once the romantic notion of advanced life on Mars had died down, Cold War ufology must have been like manna from heaven for all eager readers of magazines such as 'Amazing Stories' and 'Astounding Science Fiction' - the latter had published J.W. Campbell's 'Who Goes There?' in Aug 1938 (followed by Orson Welles' infamous 'War Of The Worlds' broadcast two months later). Campbell's tale is more popularly known as the movie 'The Thing From Another World' (1951) - one of the first Hollywood alien/UFO flicks since, by that stage, UFOs has morphed in the public consciousness from Cold War super-vehicles in 1947/48 to the far more exciting "ALIENZZZ!" concept.
We keep hearing that the 2004 'Tic Tac' led to the first government confirmation of UFOs, but how many of the modern Tic Tac generation are unaware of, or have forgotten Major General Samford's public statement in July 1952...?

There's something to be said for mystery. When I was a kid everything was about space and flying in space. But then people did actually shoot rockets and probes and people into space, and we learned that space is unfathomably immense, sizzling with deadly radiation and as far as we know right now, devoid of life except for Earth. Thanks, science. Thanks for being such a huge buzzkill.
Maybe it's better if UFOs -- and other similar paranormal stuff -- just continue to be something to ponder, rather than simply more dull facts in textbooks.

You are assuming your opinion is the truth, which is always problematic.
PS: that "killing viruses with sound" thing is irrealistic, as it would work only if the virus was isolated, a virus inside a body is not affected by sound in the same way. Also, although all objects a resonance frequency, that doesn't mean that extremely small things like viruses are affected the same way. That article is just more speculation.
There are UFOs in the "tic tac videos" aka the 3 TTSA released videos, but nothing really interesting in them. The "GoFast" video could just be a balloon (going at mach 0.7 according to the idiots who made the unidentified TV show who didn't bother to calculate the actual UFO speed is about the speed a balloon might have, very slow, and the video release forms even mention balloons!). The only thing interesting tic-tac wise is the story David Fravor tells, but now I'm not sure if what he saw was really unidentified if what Gary Voorhis says is true that the Hawkeye crew got a better look at the tic-tac and were required to sign non-disclosure agreements. Gary doesn't know the exact cause for the NDA requirement, but he says it could be something like they possibly saw identifying markings on the tic-tac when they got very close to it.

Odd post given last years information that came through - so you aren't aware of the Tic-Tac video's then?

This is the same stuff Royal Rife was talking about decades ago and it made no more sense then than it does now. Besides, those frequencies they're talking about are microwaves, not sound. So, yeah, you can microwave cancer cells in your body but it'll damage everything nearby, too.
Probiotics is what they'll be fighting cancer with in a couple of decades, not radiation.
