I've been remiss in posting the last couple months, the recession is kicking my ass and I've been concentrating on staying afloat. But I hope to post more here in the near future, maybe even get the Drupal site up I've been threatening for ages. Drupal will let me organize the site better, so I can put some real value-add to the UFO stuff, and hopefully stand out from amidst the many many UFO blogs out there.
How you ask? By starting to draw the connections and organizing the information in a useful way, with the intent that it all get rated, connected, and contextualized, which is the only way any scientific light will ever be shed using the evidence we have so far. Skeptics will continue to argue each and every individual sighting, no matter if it's on radar or 10,000 people see it, and so trotting out sighting after sighting is pointless. What the UFO community should be going after at this point in time, after 60+ years of sightings, pix, videos, etc. is how to put all this information together in ways that will allow any patterns to emerge, and for connections to be made.
We need to put all the data we have so far in its proper place according to time and date, relevant geospatial data, the type of objects or whatever seen, and the type and number of witnesses and other evidence, so we can make correlations across the data and see if we can prove via scientific statistical means that there is something going on, or once and for all if it all is just mass hysteria, Venus, and swamp gas.
As pompous and arrogant as it may sound, I hope to start to do that with the Drupal version of Dimension22, which I hope to have time to do one of these days. I've got the site installed, I basically just need to build a nifty template for it, do the taxonomy and the rss feeds, and start the laborious process of adding the content, both from this temporary blog as well as all the on- and offline stuff I've been wanting to post.
I've got a huge backlog of stuff to put up, that I hope I can someday get to, but in the meantime, here's some interesting nighttime footage of something with non-standard blinking lights and of considerable apparent size, as far as can be ascertained.
Hard to tell what it is, but it's pretty clear what it isn't -- a helicopter or plane, unless it's one with really illegal lights!
