A Geezer Rant

A Geezer Rant
Old guy Dennis Balthaser has the temerity (and errant gall) to list Anthony Bragalia alongside known UFO do-badders in an aside in a March 2010 web-offering:

"Fortunately for those of us seriously interested in the subject of Ufology, there is support for the existence of UFOs from many impressive sources, which I will share with you. As with all of my research however, there are some individuals that claim extraterrestrial UFOs do exist, but I have to question their claims based on their record, lack of scientific data, omission of references, etc. That list of individuals would include Bob Lazar of Area 51 fame, Phil Schneider about the Underground Dulce New Mexico base, Lt. Col. Phil Corso, with no references for his best selling book 'The Day After Roswell', Tony Bragalia about Roswell, and several others. I am hopeful that in time new information will surface, which will allow me to retract my current views on those mentioned above."

To imply that Mr. Bragalia's work lacks references is not to know what Mr. Bragalia provides when he posts UFO materials at our blogs (The UFO Iconoclasts, et cetera) and elsewhere.

Balthaser is an uneducated bloke, as one can tell from his appearances on various UFO shows (from the History Channel, et al.)

We once saw and heard him say this:


Those sightings collaborated [sic] these witness reports of sightings.

He meant corroborated, but that would require an education in grammar and language use, which he and most ufologists lack.

Balthaser is among that clot of ufologists whom we've listed (earlier here) as on the terminus express - they are on the slippery slope of life, near to death because of age.

Fortunately for ufology, the geezers, like Balthaser, will pass on -- sooner than later - and the UFO palate will be cleansed of the fetid nonsense these old guys have spewed and keep spewing in such a manifold way that ufology and the UFO topic itself have been virtually destroyed by their incandescent ignorance and lack of fundamental academic decency.
