Is It Any Wonder?

The UFO phenomena is of such complexity and richness of experience that by default it is prone to increasing spirals of mythology creation and lore as a result of repeated presentation and discussion and speculation of cases which can muddy the record with inaccuracies lazily taken as facts and resulting in further distortions of the original experience. As an example, take any major case, such as Cash-Landrum, Pascagoula or the granddaddy of them all, Roswell and you have a situation somewhat like a repeated photocopying of a document which loses its original clarity and begins to alter its appearance so that it only loosely resembles the original after repeated copies. In any one of these cases, how many TV shows, books, blog entries, news articles and radio/podcast discussion have occurred? In the case of Roswell, certainly thousands of time. Is it any wonder ufology has had consistent trouble finding its footing?
