There are many fragile people in this game.
UFOlogy is like Dallas on 11/21/63. A lot of strange people in town working it like there's no tomorrow.
I'm still trying to figure out the actual goals of the intelligence community related to UFOs, and I suspect they have more than one, they likely have several goals and objectives at least. I think that may be one of them, to get people to throw UFOlogy into the crackpot file. It's one way of making sense of things like Chris Mellon talking about a helium party balloon defying the laws of physics:

The point is that when all the alien BS is prevalent, which is now, and they have called attention to it and raised its profile when folks go to Amazon and see all the nonsense and foolishness on UFOLogy… well, its goodby UFOLogy and into the crackpot pile for good!
Like Pigsy, I also feel burnt out by the endless cycle (and REcycling) of BS, snake-oil gangsters and shysters.

I don't think I've ever seen such frenzy amongst TTSA's group of 'social media influencers' to promote a NY Times UFO story that may or may not be coming out sometime in the near future, the long term or even not at all.
One guy seems to have spent a whole month of his waking hours trying to convince people of it happening or maybe not happening. Almost to the point where he seems to be going the way of poor Paul Bennewitz.

“It no longer has to hide in the shadows,” Mr. Elizondo said. “It will have a new transparency.” Mr. Elizondo is among a small group of former government officials and scientists with security clearances who, without presenting physical proof, say they are convinced that objects of undetermined origin have crashed on earth with materials retrieved for study.
a. That the national security agencies take immediate steps to strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired;
The Robertson Panel recommended that a public education campaign should be undertaken in order to reduce public interest in the subject, minimising the risk of swamping Air Defence systems with reports at critical times, and that civilian UFO groups should be monitored.[2] The Robertson Panel's report was contained within a larger internal CIA report by F C Durant, a CIA officer who served as Secretary to the Panel, which summarises the activities of the panel and its conclusions. This wider document is commonly referred to as the Durant Report.[2]
► Maintain that Bob Bigelow ran a proper aerospace company and various scientific studies into strange phenomena. When in fact this appears to be so badly ran that it was really nothing of the sort. Possibly used as a shell company for other purposes.
