First, a link to go visit if you have an hour or two to kill and are interested in UFO conspiracies: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://projectcamelot.org/">projectcamelot.org/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>So as far as I can tell we have two individuals that have set up a website where they are hosting videos and transcripts of interviews they conduced with notable celebs from UFO culture, like John Lear, Dan Burisch and Gary McKinnon, to name a few.<br><br>I skipped through the Lear video interview and I've read the Henry Deacon transcript. My personal thoughts are that no matter what any so-called insider of UFO knowledge has to say, it might as well be science fiction until some tangible proof is offered too.<br><br>Take for example John Lear. In every instance where someone stands behind what Lear has to say about soul collectors on the Moon, ancient alien buildings scattered across the solar system and 4 dead Apollo 1 astronauts instead of 3, the supporter pulls out Lear's list of credentials before throwing the reader/listener into Lear's theories. My biggest beef with John Lear is that he'll tell you that he doesn't care if you believe him or not but he refuses to supply any kind of proof or even additional information as to where he was told his information in the first place. In the end there's no difference between what John Lear is trying to sell you to believe in as what the Heaven's Gate head honcho wanted to sell you on.<br><br>And ultimately that is the entire problem with all of this UFO backstory information/disinformation: there's no way to prove any of it, so it all gets swirled around and re-told again and again and in slightly different fashions. Look at what Al Bielek said about his supposed Montauk Project; there's absolutely no evidence that he's telling anything more than a fanciful story yet because the Montauk story has been around for a decade-15 years, it's being added to the lexicon of other supposed UFO tell all informants to bolster their claims (see the transcript with Henry Deacon to see what I mean.)<br><br>I know there are amazing craft flying in our skies that don't match up with what I know airplanes can do because I've seen them. I strongly suspect, based on the evidence and eyewitness claims from other UFO sightings stretching back 50 years, that some of these craft are under the control of non-terrestrial intelligences. But apart from that, I couldn't tell you if they were manifestations of a collective unconsciousness, people from Zeta Reticuli or some kind of strange organism.<br><br>I think it's swell that the Project Camelot people are recording these interviews and sharing them with people like me interested in the UFO phenomena, but I can't help but think that this is also compounding the problem. We will likely never find out what the real truth is behind what are UFOs until we can separate the chaff from the wheat, but the proliferation of sites like SERPO.org, Lear's ongoing discussions on Above Top Secret, Richard Hoagland's latest "proof" of ancient Martian cities and a seemingly unending stream of anonymous "insiders" talking about what Alpha Centuri really looks like is turning the serious study of Ufology into nothing more than white noise.<br><br>I don't know...I just see decades after decades of unending mystery and ever deepening and fanciful sci-fi stories in the future for us. Does anyone else out there that's interested in this area feel the same way? What are your thoughts on the stuff on Project Camelot's site? I'd like to get a UFO-related discussion happening again in RigInt.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
