Well do not get me wrong it is good to keep up to date on fringe scince and what they are working on you just have to know what you are getting into.
After all science is nothing more than a very long series of corrected mistakes.
A good way of judging the validity of any given theory is how far or how many steps it takes away from fact (you need a good stable piece of data).
This is where there becomes a huge devide in the field of UFOlogy. You have the poeple who try to studdy the phenomenon for what it is. Then you have
the people who try to introduce new theories based off the unprooven theories that UFO are piloted by aliens. Then you get into the other
density,spirit orbs, hyperdimensional beeings and lengthy descriptions of alien governments and their motives. There is nothing really "wrong" with
any of those theories but when people say that their research has led them to that conclusion it often gets laughed at, not for the theory its self
but the idea that any real research could have come to that conclusion due to the fact that we really have no idea what UFOs are.

Well if it weren’t for firnge science we would all be in the dark now wouldn’t we. Do you realize the many scientists astronomers wizards
alchemists and such existed before the BC era? At one time everyone thought the world was flat. Nobody is sure who first deduced that the world is
round. It is most likely that it was done by observing the Earth's shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse. Aristotle (384-322 BC) said that it was
common knowledge, at least among the learned, so it's been known for at least 2,500 years.

Test-retest and correlation coefficient are two commonly used measures of reliability. Internal consistency is important, too. Are all parts of the
measure (especially a written tool) measuring the same characteristics? Split-half technique is an older and well-used way to test this type of
reliability.
So basically thee are and introduction of people who actually taking the time to research I don’t find anything wrong. Not all scientists are well
liked and further more there are some that are contantly ridiculed all the time take a look at global warming issue.
Always remember that one research study only provides evidence for or against a hypothesis, it never proves or disproves it! The more studies
completed that show a strong trend, the more confidence you can have in the results.

Your Examples of different people who in there own way wish to prove the (phenomenon) To which it is all phenomenon. That you are talking about
listed below 1-4
NSG says:
There is no divide ,,,they are all studying the issue UFOology in separate formulations seeking to prove a hypothetic apotheosis.
So in one sense or another it all ties in with the UFO phenomenon.
1.This is where there becomes a huge divide in the field of UFOlogy.
2.You have the poeple who try to studdy the phenomenon for what it is.
3.Then you have the people who try to introduce new theories based off the unprooven theories that UFO are piloted by aliens.
4.Then you get into the other density,spirit orbs, hyperdimensional beeings and lengthy descriptions of alien governments and their motives.
5.There is nothing really "wrong" with any of those theories but when people say that their research has led them to that conclusion it often gets
laughed at, not for the theory its self but the idea that any real research could have come to that conclusion due to the fact that we really have no
idea what UFOs are.
Now It’s a start it’s great and I sure hope someday soon we find some answers cause it is obvious we aint getting it from our government or NASA
