How can it be that those UFO’s where already seen far, far before the time that even the United States saw the light of day and therefore those intelligence communities of where you speak did not even exist?
The UFO subject didn't exist back then, it came to be after WWII.

Hi OP. Suggest we all give Carrion an extended kick in the ass after been thrown down then out of MUFON, toward his new journey.
He's nothing much to offer and after slap-sticking the many MUFON thorough investigated Witnesses, he's no place in UFO Investigative activity. His new site and plundering of things--ufo, tells me a least, Carrion wants some spotlight back.
I feel, the best UFO Researchers can do to rid this charming cist on our ass, may be to ignore anything Carrion mentions. Forget about it (meaning Carrion). Carrion = MOVE-ON.
Now some have questioned why the focus of the Center for UFO Truth is so narrow and that trying to prove the human deception theory is itself inherently a preconceived belief. I have four words to answer that – “Show me the evidence”. In science you can propose whatever theory you would like as long as you are willing to back it up with evidence. When Copernicus proposed that the Earth was not the center of the Universe, he didn’t have to first explain celestial mechanics of the wider universe. He focused on one question – does the earth revolve around the sun or not – simple and unambiguous.
That is exactly what the Center for UFO Truth is focused on – a simple and unambiguous theory of human deception in the early days of UFOs. If CUT can unequivocally prove that United States and its allies hijacked the UFO theme for Cold War purposes and that Kenneth Arnold’s sighting and Roswell were part of this deception, through authenticated documents, rather than anecdotal evidence, then critical thinkers should take notice. If you are a staunch believer, don’t worry, CUT will not present evidence at your pulpit anyway.
Why are the early days of UFOs so important? Well it is simple - these early UFO events are the sacred cows of Ufology. If they are proven to be deceptions, then all UFO data collected to the modern day needs to examined through a different set of lenses. Critical thinkers will consider putting on a different pair of glasses. Believers will not think anything is wrong with their vision and will look the other way.
If CUT can not substantiate its theory, then it no longer remains a viable theory and can be discarded.

I just read James Carrion's (MUFON's ex- "International Director") statement of purpose on his blog site, "Center for UFO Truth". If his opening statement is any indication of what UFO truth he is referring to we're in for a one sided ride.
No James, you are dead wrong, the fault of today's UFO state of affairs belongs at the seat of our great but fragile minds the scientists. Most of the extreme beliefs are here because there is a vacuum in science verses experience on these topics.

I really wonder why that is.
in my opinion, the reason Carrion is choosing this new direction is he got burnt out from all the hoaxes and lost in all the dis-info and because of that he's now throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Depressing!
In searching for the truth this man has decided to find out if the government is lying and in effect has taken a tangent off to the left and into irrelevant territory?
Oh yes, and then there is the "three ring circus" of UFOlogy, to which he seems determined to add a fourth ring to because he considers his efforts better than what is going on in the other 3, even though to everyone looking on it is basically the same.

I'm finding this thing a little confusing!
People are upset because he's taking a stab at the sacred cows of UFOlogy. But sometimes you have to "kill your darlings" to get anywhere.
Blasphemy will get you Stoned

If you don't understand the difference between the UFO subject and UFO sightings then I guess it doesn't make sense
i'm wondering if Carrion is finding "this thing" confusing yet ? LOL
maybe he will open some more cans up and i have to admit if he was trying to find evidence that the government has faked and lied about stuff to discredit real ufo reports and witnesses i would be interested then.
an example of that might be the flares that were deployed in the Phoenix lights case after the 8:00 pm sighting to discredit the the whole story.
now that kind of government fakery i can definitely believe in.
anyone claiming all ufo reports/cases and sightings were created by the Government is insane.
Unfortunately that obfuscation worked very well. Even on ATS, I see people thinking the flares comprised the major portion of the sightings.
you keep spelling Carrions name wrong, it's not Collier

good question my friend and i can only make guesses like this one,

The UFO/UAP/ET subject is unfortunately confronted with hoaxes and disinformation, but thats all part of the debunking game.
By far the most powerful weapon in the UFO counter-intelligence arsenal is the ufologists themselves. A former CI officer once remarked to me about a prominent New York City ufologist, "If he didn't exist, we'd have to invent him." There is nothing that counterintelligence operators appreciate more than a gullible ufologist i.e. born again lesbian lizards from Antares, seven-foot alien cockroaches with hyperactive libidos, etc. The result is that the credibility of the entire UFO research community is debased. Little wonder that the press treats the subject as a joke. That's what the CI people work so hard to accomplish. The "aliens are eating us" crowd is the answer to the CI prayers.

But that cannot be [in my opinion] the real reason for why Carrion, who did study the phenomenon for so long
I began to question whether or not ANY of the data sitting in any UFO archive can be relied on.

And there is a lot of impressive information that supports that claim in my opinion.
At dawn of April 4, in the sky of Nuremberg (Germany), a lot of men and women saw a very alarming spectacle where various objects were involved, including balls "approximately 3 in the length, from time to time, four in a square, much remained insulated, and between these balls, one saw a number of crosses with the color of blood. Then one saw two large pipes, in which small and large pipes, were 3 balls, also four or more. All these elements started to fight one against the other." (Gazette of the town of Nuremberg).
The events lasted one hour and had such repercussions that an artist, Hans Glaser, drew a woodcut of it at the time. It describes two immense black cylinders launching many blue and black spheres, blood red crosses, and flying discs. They seem to fight a battle in the sky, it also seems that some of these spheres and objects have crashed outside the city.
