I say :bs:. I have not noticed a decline in UFO sightings, or crop circles. I wonder where The Times got its information from!?
I always notice that no British newspaper can publish a serious article about UFOs, there always has to be a picture of ET (The Extra Terrestrial) with a sarcastic comment written underneath it.

They actually got it from me Hunter lol - no doubt they had a read of this - bear in mind I posted it some months ago - http://www.alien-ufos.com/forum/showthread...44&page=1&pp=30

Yeah, thats Bollox! how can ufology be dead when im still here, ufoligising.....(if thats a word)....

i bet you they havent done there research! i mean the most recorded sightings for the beginning of a year, was last year! so how can they say that the ufos are gone????? theres is about 13000 - 16000 sightings each year!....DICKHEADS!

At first i thought you were suggesting that UFOs are dead! im glad that it wasnt!!!!!

oh, yeah, crop circles happen every year without fail where i live! .......

It's not dead, it's just not popular. It's not "in." And if it's not the hot new trend it clearly DOESN'T MATTER.

Maybe you could put it down to the media. In the last decade there has been a explosion in cable and satellite for one thing, and with this a multitude of UFO related documentaries and such (I don't know about you but before the 90's there was very little on TV that presented UFO's in an objective light - 'V' doesn't really count). Maybe this is having an effect of educating the public into thinking twice before reporting what they see in the skys as alien space craft. Bearing in mind that ALL resolved UFO sightings are of earthly origin.

maybe they want to hold us down (you know what I mean ) and everybody should thinking "oh their are no UFOs, it was all in the mind of some Trekies"....

I hate those thinks *going-mad*

Maybe they did because well there's nothing else to report besides the war in Iraq and terrorism? Grasping at straws maybe? I don't know.

The calm before the storm...move along folks, nothing to see here, nothing behind that curtain. Move along...

yeah... that sounds like pile of 100% pure grade A piping hot propaganda. That is just as rediculous as tabloid headlines. What new low will the media sinkl to next?

This looks Familiar. I think I saw this with Bush and Cheney's Face, photo-shopped on it. At Rense I think.

Is this British news website taking the subject of UFOs seriously then?

If they are wondering where UFOs went, then it sounds to me that they consider the subject real. Has there been any investigations of UFO reports by this particular news site or are they just making a fluff piece to fill a page? If there has been no reports on the subject by them before, why not? They took the time to make this article which in some ways suggests the subject has investigative merit.

i think this is due to the fact that most UFO sightings these days are disbelieved by agencies and are put under a lot more scrutiny than in the past.
I dont think u can compare the data collected from 50 years ago to today because UFO-ology has progressed a lot since then and most accounts that would have been taken seriosuly back then would today be frowned upon and due to a more strict filtering process, would be disregarded and forgotten.
I'm sure today there are just as many sightings, its just that the people who record them for statistcical purposes dont take them seriously anymore.

Yeah but the whole thing is written rather tongue in cheek... or so it seems to me... I'm left wondering if they wrote that just for the sake of it... you know, as a filler article. They also must have a quota they have set every month or week or whatever. At the end of the day, the article doesn't mean a lot other than it takes up space and gives people something a little different to read. Creates, or tries to create a sensation, a talking point.... Maybe....

All those fakes etc on the internet, even if some of the 'fakers' genuinely believe what they write, have done this topic one of the biggest disservices possible. The internet has actualy made a mockery of this topic, especially more so that excellent graphic programes are so readily and easily available to most people and thus anyone can play around and change anything... Genuine photos of planes etc posted on the internet can so easily be misinterpret as being UFO craft as well...

And many of us are left wondering what is real and what is fake many a time.

Maybe, Cowbell.
Nah, UFO sightings have not ceased. UFOlogy is not dead, it's just dozing.


This is rather strange. I would have thought it shows that the BFSB had no dedication, but 50 years is a long time to have a group like this!


I agree. It also looks as if they have conducted no research before writing this article either.

Not only does it reek of a filler article, it also uses an example which is later found as not being a UFO at all. But the explanation is written in such a way, as if to infer that all sighting end up in a similar vein..... very subtle journalism there....

Unless I misread the article, there is no mention of the small number which no matter how much some try to, still remain unexplained. Rather biased and one sided really...
