There's been a ton of news on UFOs lately, and a lot of entertaining stories being told. I did a deep dive over several years and interviewed some of the leading figures. The evidence comes up short.

When you set 80 years of the same cover-up theory against the way human information systems actually behave over time, the cultural meme that the U.S. Government is holding aliens and recovered craft, aka Roswell, doesn't hold up.

I wrote some of these ideas up for Skeptic Magazine. I also get into the hunger and longing underneath ufology, the wish to stand in relation to another intelligence. Misdirected and misappropriated, but a higher ideal all the same. @michaelshermer

Disclosure already happened, yes? The AARO report. Or is it your position that laws were broken by the agencies lying to Congress? I know this may seem like a pedestrian question, but you can't have aliens and bodies that scores of insider witnesses know about, and then release the AARO report saying no ETI

@PostDisclosure Facts are stubborn things

[Byron DeLear @ByronDeLear]

@mrjeffknox Um, why? Don't they have saucers and bodies? This is all a LARP when you drill down into how actually history distills over time versus myth

[Byron DeLear @ByronDeLear]

@AndreSkondras @michaelshermer @rosscoulthart Agree, and human information systems behave is a specific way over time... I wrote it about it here

@Ovniologia01 @michaelshermer @rosscoulthart Great question, I guess we are supposed to assume our troops essentially have been sacrificed because the wonder technology has been held back?

[Byron DeLear @ByronDeLear]

@ProfAviLoeb After years interviewing UFO insiders, including the Pentagon's former UFO chief, I wrote up where the evidence actually led. Avi, you should recognize how distant the retrieval claims are from how human information systems work over time. https://t.co/QcrVAyH3Sq

@JasonColavito It's relentless, the story churning, trust me bro, no evidence

[Byron DeLear @ByronDeLear]

This is dangerous thinking. It confuses courage with self-importance and feels like typical tech bro VC recklessness.
One dude saying “maybe the unpopular thing is right” is just contrarianism. A platform philosophy that selects for work confused with evil, then demands elite competence at it, is a permission structure.

@theblackvault @TheProjectUnity No I think it was Rings of Power, "harefoots," or something like that

@RepLuna Sadly, a wild goose chase

An open note of apology to my Canadian friends

I'm sorry. The high jinks and ballyhoo coming out of Washington these days speak for the current Administration and no one else. The affection everyday Americans hold for Canada runs far deeper than anything you're hearing from the podium.

Canada has been threaded through my whole life. My first visit was as a high schooler from Principia School, traveling to Toronto for the World Affairs Conference at Upper Canada College, where students from all over the continent gathered to talk seriously about the world. Canadians taught me early that neighborliness and global citizenship go hand in hand. And boy was Toronto clean!

Music deepened the bond. I had the privilege of producing my friend Warren Hill, the great Toronto-born saxophonist, and years later found myself at a First Nations rave with DJ Mark Lewis, one of the most joyful nights of cross-border communion I can remember. And twenty-five years ago today, the towers fell. I produced a song called "Remember This Day" with the gifted Montreal singer Lea Longo, who on September 10, 2001 had flown the very route, Boston to Los Angeles, that terrorists turned into a weapon the next morning. Our two countries have always grieved together, and that is worth remembering too.

Then there were the flags. In October 2015, while I was serving as Editor-in-Chief of NAVA News, the North American Vexillological Association held its 49th annual meeting in Ottawa, timed to the 50th anniversary of the Maple Leaf. Our host was my friend Ken Reynolds, the historian and armed forces veteran who served in the Middle East, and he showed me what Canadian hospitality really means. Canada welcomed us like family: the Canadian Museum of History opened its flag collection just for our group, and we met Robert Labonté, whose job is raising a fresh flag each day atop the Peace Tower, every one later given free to a Canadian citizen from a waiting list that runs decades. That is a country that loves its symbols and shares them generously.

And the friendships endure. My dear friend Rocky Swanson, Deputy Fire Chief of Powell River Fire Rescue in British Columbia, served alongside Canadian and Allied forces for decades. And thank you, Canada, for welcoming my dear friend Rebecca Tobias, a lifelong peacebuilder with the United Religions Initiative and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics, to make her home among you. You received a good one.

Nations are bigger than any one administration. Canada, with respect, gratitude, and apology, you deserve better from us, and most of us know it.

@WilliamShatner @IMAX Oh but of course!

[Byron DeLear @ByronDeLear]

@WilliamShatner happy Star Trek day Mr. Shatner, 60 years, amazing! I just booked tix to see you in Joliet IL at your upcoming appearance in October. I have always wanted to meet you, and although I'll just be one face in a crowd, I want to share with you in person how much your work meant to me and my late daddy, Walter. You are inimitable, and one of a kind! Live long and prosper.

@ericweinstein Fruit of the poisonous tree, Eric what do you think about the argument about how the UAP theories and field does not comport with what we know about how human information systems behave?https://t.co/QcrVAyH3Sq

@RockySwanson74A @MiddleOfMayhem @NewsNation @rosscoulthart Was it Bigelow who described / introduced the Dino Beaver? You know at the LA Brea tar pits they have a life size sculpture of a Giant Sloth?

@AllDeezAliens @WSJ @WSJFreeEx @WSJopinion @jamesbmeigs Here's my take after a deep dive into the topic, it will be interesting when the truth comes out. https://t.co/QcrVAyH3Sq

Brilliant piece of analysis by @ByronDeLear.

"History is a process of subtraction: you start with the rumor and noise after the first journalistic accounts, and end with a smaller, harder core of what actually happened."
