HIV deniers 'like UFO supporters', court hears, was the headline from an ABC news item claiming that an HIV expert has likened a group of Perth doctors, who claim that HIV does not exist, to UFO supporters. Read the article here.
"In a bid to help an HIV positive prisoner go free, the doctors have testified that the virus does not exist and that AIDS is not transmitted through heterosexual sex. The case is part of an application by 36-year-old Andre Chad Parenzee to have his convictions for endangering the lives of three women through unprotected sex overturned." This, in my opinion is what is wrong with the world today; people have no idea what the field of ufology is really about when they draw comparisons with old and dated ideas of UFO supporters. I personally would be more inclined to say those doctors are more similar to hard-line U.F.O. 'sceptics' who insist, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that UFO's don't exist. The UFO community and some serious ufologists have had strange sightings themselves and have concluded UFOs are a very real phenomenon, and that it is in fact the sceptics who without conducting any serious investigations are guilty of simply not believing the evidence presented to them. Now I will be the first to admit that ufology does have its 'nuts' and I would definitely not claim that ufology is as clear cut as some would have us believe, and I would not support these hoaxers. But every spectrum of society from science to art has there own brand of nuts, that it is not limited to the UFO community alone. I suppose I shouldn't take that article to heart but when ufology takes a beating like this, and in a court of law no less, I feel the need to stand up for what I believe and defend the UFO community. After all, U.F.O. simply means 'Unidentified Flying Object' that there are objects in our airspace that one cannot readily identify as a known, terrestrial craft such as a plane or an identifiable air balloon. These UFO's may actually be secret stealth projects under test by the Military and can appear to the general public as something very odd. Of course imaginations can run wild and I would be the first to admit to liking Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but because I enjoy a good story does not mean I'm a nut! No, in my opinion the real 'nuts' are the sceptics or professionals who draw comparisons to an area of society they know nothing about, who dismiss important evidence on the strength of rumours that UFO supporters are crazy.
