It
is true that for more than six decades the so-called “UFO Phenomenon” has not
been solved.
It
is also true that a considerable progress has been made in the general study of
the phenomenon and that many of its manifestations have been solved, but not
all of them.
To whom do we owe the advance in this area?
There
is no doubt that it is due to civilian investigators and students, individually
or being part of a civilian organization, dedicated to the subject.
Therefore
the question that comes out is this: what is the purpose of the military
organizations dedicated to “investigate” the observations of unusual aerial
phenomena?
I
really think that none.
As
much as I understand, they try to gather information of the reported cases and
with that information they try to “solve” them and determine if what it was seen
was something identifiable or not.
Once
they come to a conclusion, if it was something known, it is “case solved”, but
if it is not, they only could put the case in their files as “unidentified” and
that’s all.
The
interesting thing, when we are studying the subject, is to try to do something with
the unsolved cases, because maybe in them lies the solution of part of the enigma
or the totality of it.
The
logical thing would be therefore, that this military organizations shared their
files with civilian groups or individual investigators, so that working
together they could make possible to advance a little more on the issue…but
regretfully this does not happen.
The
official files are “hermetic”, and they do not provide information even to the population that finally pays for
their services.
What’s
the reason to put away the information?
This
could have been justified for the United States during the Cold War.
But
now the situation has changed and even in the United States there is no official
investigation and less done by the military, as it was before.
There
is no need right now to do so, because the subject is no longer something that
could affect the “national security”
This
shows that these strange “phenomena” must be studied by scientists or by
responsible and open minded people using the scientific method, who also would
be ready to share the information they have.
The
more it is known, the better. And it is proper
of the scientific procedure to share the information that one can have, to that
others can verify it and compare with their own data, etc.
Secrets
don’t work any longer….they have no sense.
