Regarding the credibility of UFO reports: Richard Dolan's UFOs and the National 
Security State contains hundreds of them, and most of them ring true to me -- 
they do not have the look and feel of fabrications.  If you datamine them, 
you'll see the same patterns coming up repeatedly in reports from all over the 
world.  Where there is this much smoke, there is probably fire.  There is 
little sense in Dolan's survey of the evidence that any governments are in 
control of what is going on -- other than control of the cover-up and 
systematic ridicule of UFO eyewitnesses.  The real action on UFOs has been 
buried deep inside the national security state, far out of the view of the 
general public.

So: ETs may be real AND certain parties at the highest levels of the national 
security state may also be playing ET memes in a manipulative way.  Or, the 
most disturbing scenario: the highest levels of  the national security state 
may be under the control of ETs.  It all sounds very crazy, I know.  But the 
universe may be a wild and crazy place.

Now: if we were being visited by various species of ETs, with varying and 
conflicting agendas, and that are answerable to other parties and interests 
outside of our solar system whose intelligence vastly exceeds our own, then the 
conspiracy possibilities would break the minds of most human beings.  Might as 
well just go with the flow and pretend everything is normal.

UFO sightings are often composed of 'adjectival phrases,' an adjective-noun 
usage. In above, a source is credible or not, but it is not more or less 
credible. Credibility of source is a major problem in MSM; to cite merely as a 
'credible source' is equivalent of citing an unnamed source with credibility 
well within the sphere of unpredictability. 

The radar and photo evidence are all quite capable of manipulation, and images 
are usually fuzzy, faraway, grainy, very 1960-ish. 

I haven't seen the source credibility in reports of UFOs to be able to 
ascertain if all  available information is used when conclusions are drawn. A 
UFO sighting reported by a 'reliable source' in Bumfuk, Argentina,  doesn't 
exactly inspire my confidence in the report. If the report would have said, 
'the president of Argentina met today at noon in the town square with a 
representative of an alien race,' or similar event, I might find the report 
more believable because I know I can find corroborating reports all across MSM. 
It just hasn't happened. 

An axiom of source credibility is that a credible source must be visible 
(identified, named).

Source credibility is damaged by other issues. Our educational system is loaded 
with zionists; why should we expect 'the truth' from intellectuals and 
'experts'? If they can establish themselves as experts with awards and degrees 
with ease, why would a single 'expert' have any more believability or 
credibility than the results of a debate between Dershowitz and Finkelstein?

Events have believability,  credibility, and verifiability when observed 
directly. Information not observed directly is second-hand, and loses 
credibility and verifiability the further it is removed from it's source.

From Invisible Enemy: 
Pre-propaganda promotes social disorder: crime, murders, rapes, robbery, and 
defenses of criminals over victims, and uses the legal system to promote ethnic 
and racial outrage. The Rodney King and O. J. Simpson trials of the 1990s are 
the now-classic examples of antisocial vehicles carrying the negative messages 
of race and sex. Equally destructive pre-propaganda are the ethnic themes of 
Nazi racial attitudes, victimization of Jews, Polish brutality and stupidity, 
Arab backwardness, violence on the part of Italians, and bigotry against the 
Irish that are regular features of print and cinematic media. Recognizing 
unfocused hatred as a spontaneous and common sentiment, pre-propaganda supports 
political propaganda each time it designates someone as the  source of all 
misery. (“Any tall tale will be believed once it enters into the passionate 
current of hatred…the less educated and informed people to whom propaganda of 
agitation is addressed, the easier it is to make such
 propaganda….”)15 Ellul refers to this as the propaganda of developed nations 
and characteristic of our civilization, which did not exist before the 
twentieth century. It is a propaganda of conformity.16

Abboud cites Jacques Ellul classic Propaganda. Check this link:

2007-06-15 Thread Sean McBride
A few years ago, in an exchange on cia-drugs with Phoenix from High Times, I 
took precisely the position you are taking now.  Richard Dolan's book has 
pushed me off that position.  The government infighting about how to handle the 
UFO controversy seems real, many of the UFO sightings and reports seem credible 
in a consistent way, and the government coverup appears to be straightforward.  
If you give Dolan's book some serious attention (read it carefully from front 
to back), perhaps you will also change your mind; maybe not.

If UFOs are a psyop, it is a huge psyop, truly massive.  The powers that be 
must have big plans for it down the line (probably as a device for establishing 
a world government under the cover of a new world religion).  But maybe it 
isn't a psyop.  Perhaps it is as difficult for us to believe that we are being 
visited by aliens as it was for previous generations to believe that the world 
is round or that our planet revolves around the sun.

I assume you've assimilated all these authors and sources as you approach the 
UFO discussion:

Bob Lazar
Budd Hopkins
David Jacobs
Don Berliner
Donald Keyhoe
Howard Blum
Ivan Sanderson
J. Allen Hynek
Jacques Vallee
James MacDonald
Jim Marrs
John Lear
John Mack
Linda Moulton Howe
Nick Redfern
Philip Corso
Raymond Fowler
Richard Dolan
Stanton Friedman
Steven Greer
Timothy Good
Whitley Strieber
William Cooper

For newcomers to UFO controversies, I'd start with Dolan, then do Greer, then 
maybe do Corso.

 Sent to you by Sean McBride via Google Reader: Strange Company:
Military Encounters with UFOs in World War II via Amazon.com: UFOs in
Books on Jun 15, 2007

Mankind had reached a threshold in the forth decade of the twentieth
century. There were unprecedented scientific and technological
achievements, but despite such progress, humanity was entering one of
its darkest chapters. World War II would grip the world with terror for
six years. During that time military personnel reported seeing numerous
highly unconventional aircraft in all theaters of operation. These
objects had extraordinary flight performance capabilities, came in a
variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and were able to travel at
extraordinary speeds and avoid radar detection. Strange Company is
the first in-depth account of unconventional aircraft observed and
reported by the military during World War II. It includes the reactions
by military commands, their viewpoints, and theories as they struggled
to make sense of the observations. Strange Company presents one of the
greatest wartime mysteries, one that has been shrouded in ignorance for
more than sixty years. And it suggests that while an immense twentieth
century war was raging on Earth, there appeared to be someone, or
something, from somewhere else, watching us.
