I avoid posting pictures and videos because it is found that most of them are faked or are “obviously” something identifiable. That’s what I see spur discussion occur on other articles. I posted one video – not because I believed it to be the mass-sighted UFO in Tucson, but because it was recorded of the sky at the same time/ night as the mass sighting. A local news website posted the same video before I did. The video was captured by a local woman that most consider to be kooky. I posted it, because I wanted to see if people would agree if that was what they saw. I got slammed for that, for “damaging UFO research”, “tainting a possible investigation”, you name it. I got comments, for sure, but no discussion. Ended up that not one person saw what was indicated in the video, but they saw something familiar in the background.

I receive emails, rather than posted comments, for one on one discussions. Perhaps because I come across as accessible.

In my posts, I sometimes just report on UFOs without ‘ranting’. Sometimes, something gets my mind going and I post a commentary/opinion piece. I figure if someone disagrees with me, they’ll say something. As a blogger (an unpaid blogger at that), I don’t have to keep my opinion to myself.

Also, I don’t pretend to believe every sighting out there is an alien ship, so I don’t get the folks to comment who do. They likely don’t read me that much, except to glean the information about a sighting of interest. I also don’t get the “you are nuts” comments from skeptics. Sometimes commenters will receive a reply from a skeptical person telling them that they are nuts. I also don’t write about every sighting for page views, since page views don’t equal dollar signs for me. Even if it did, I wouldn’t feel right about that kind of writing.

I started this blog in August of 2009. I left my job in higher ed in March of this year to write full-time. Until this past July, I only posted infrequently, so I am still searching for my style and voice – and for what I want Paranormal Old Pueblo to be. I appreciate your feedback and will take it all under consideration. At this point, I don’t know what would spur meaningful discussion, but as my writing evolves, it will become clearer.

I’ve never seen a UFO and have never became acquainted with an alien, either. Sounds like you had an interesting sighting in China. Thanks for sharing.

Regarding what else I SEE in your ‘rants’, I see important ‘commentary’, but I am not sure that see important ‘discussion’. How would you encourage important discussion to occur here on Paranormal Old Pueblo, if not in your on work but from readers?

I lived and worked in China for almost 10 years, and saw many incidences of ‘high strangeness’. In particular, the day a UFO came down and landed on a university campus building that I was walking to, and hovered there for 10 minutes or more.

Warm regards
