Fatal flaws....

Everything is not relative - only a handful of researchers are
able to make any intelligent comments about the UFO evidence -
such as it is.

I actually agree that Margaret Fry should be banned in light of
the quite extraordinary comments she made about Nick Pope and
Timothy Good's superiority through breeding.

To say that BUFORA didn't 'endorse' Max Burns is a huge cop-out
and will be noticed by all. It's never been a question of
endorsement as such - and not one of so-called 'free speech'
(something that none of us have access to, not even Rupert
Murdoch) either.

The idea that everyone's opinion is equally valid is exactly why
Ufology attracts so many crackpots.

Furthermore it is _not_ the case that the scientific community
has ignored evidence of what you call extraordinary human
experience; it's just that science calls these things often by
another name and doesn't come to the same belief-driven
conclusions that we do. Having just read a rather interesting
book by none other than "Dr." Armen Victorian on Mind Control
("The Mind Controllers", Vision Paperbacks 1999. It's actually
surprisingly well-written and researched now you never thought
you'd hear me say that) it becomes abundantly clear, through
official (FOIA) material, that the CIA, DIA, USAF and many other
agencies were and are interested in so-called 'paranormal'
phenomena AND that there is some support within the scientific
community for the idea that things like (for instance) Remote
Viewing (RV) may be rather more than the work of hucksterdom...

That's just one small example.....

BUFORA is the organisation where certain Council members
actively encouraged and participated in regression hypnosis at a
time when it was banned. These things have probably gone on for
ages but I don't think that BUFORA matters any more. The public
would appear to agree. Lancashire UFO Society meetings appear to
be better attended than BUFORA London lectures......
