 This is true, of course, provided you confine the use of the word to
 a specific meaning, which is neither popular nor common use. "Occult"
 to most people means mysticism, witchcraft, demons and ghosts, etc.
 with an emphasis on non-corporeal supernatural entities. It is in
 this context "occultism" is used when people attempt to associate it
 with UFOs, implicating there is a common paranormal cause (with no
 real physical reality) underlying most or all of these experiences.
 There's no evidence for such a relationship in any case.

 Your denotation of "occult" and the manner in which other people are
 using the word are vastly different, and rationalizing one definition
 doesn't automatically make the other applicable or true, any Valleean
 protests notwithstanding. Let's use some common sense, people.
