The extraterrestrial origin of some craft in our midst has been
proven for some time.  What is at issue now is the inability of
individuals to accept the verdict based on the level of
resistance they possess to the implications.

The amount of proof available is so massive, many refuse to
examine it because, frankly, they don't have the time.

When I am sometimes asked how I arrived at this conclusion, in
the absence of the two or three weeks of time it would take to
inform the questioner - time I or this person usually does not
have or will not invest since his or her mind is not open to the
information in any event - I simply respond "by paying
attention."

Things have improved.  Whereas the Catholic Church, during an
earlier paradigm change, would simply have you taken away and
slaughtered, the pardigmatically challenged in modern times
simply repeat over and over and over again there is no proof,
until you go away and leave them alone.

The research field to which this list is dedicated has been
chasing its tail for 50 years.  After a half-decade of that, it
is hardly surprising that, overwhelmed by terminal nausea and
permanent dizziness, the field is not yet aware it caught its
tail some time ago and needs to go off somewhere and lie down for
awhile.
