Nine days before Xmas past in 2017, three big news sources ran a UFO story. NY Times put it on the front page and reporter Blumenthal said it had more audience interest than any story in a long time. Yet I didn't hear about it until a month later and nobody I know has heard it yet.
My son Eric would explain this quickly: You and your friends are losers! For instance, how many of you have bought your own RAM online and installed it yourselves? Real mystery.
My sister, a sharp 67-year-old who would tell us RAM refers to male sheep instead of Random Access Memory, might say it was lost in the Christmas rush. I in fact was hustling to put packages in the mail about then, a week before Saint Nick, and go to holiday music programs.
The mystery deepens when we see that the story had Plenty of followup on TV news--Fox, CNN, MSNBC. Even my friends have heard of these.
Quite a few of my people are Mormons, and I kind of doubt that presumably non-Mormon aliens fit real well into the LDS world-view. One Mormon prophet in the early 20th century said firmly he was sure the Lord did not have it in his plan for humans to go land on other worlds. Another cluster of friends are Spiritualists, and they would be thrilled to their toenails to be abducted by aliens, or have their cows abducted by them, because it's so weird it must be related to the unseen "Other Side" Spiritualists are always hearing from. Eric would say these two points just back up his "losers" theory.
