http://forgetomori.com/2008/ufos/the-carl-sagan-institute-of-ufology/The “Carl Sagan Institute”… of Ufology!Two years after
announcing that Jesus would return with a fleet of flying saucers, and four years after
fleeing a public commitment to present one single evidence to prove what they sell, the Brazilian UFO magazine just managed to hit a new low.
In this month’s issue, editor Ademar Gevaerd announces “a new way of conducting ufology in Brazil, with the creation of the Carl Sagan Institute”. Yes, you read it right. And it doesn’t stop there.
Besides the paradoxical abuse of Sagan’s name, the magazine claims that the astronomer and one of the most famous skeptical activists in history was:
“a scientist … who suspected that some already visits us in vehicles that we call flying saucers.
Many think that Sagan passed away without knowing the result of his search .. But that is far from the truth. Sagan had a close relationship with north-american governmental agencies dedicated to the UFO phenomenon investigation, and even Joseph Allen Hynek, considered the father of Modern Ufology, guaranteed that Sagan had a profound knowledge about the alien presence on Earth.”
The full press editorial, in Portuguese,
can be read here. Believe it… or not! (...)
Obviously, Sagan never said anything regarding a “profound knowledge about the alien presence on Earth”, and he actually spoke quite clearly about the opposite. (...) How could these ufologists claim otherwise? Well, it’s simple. According to them, Carl Edward Sagan lied in public! As Ademar Gevaerd stated in reply to
this criticism:
“It’s obvious that in his works he speaks the opposite, since in them he plays the game of skepticism, part of governmental functions. I doubt that today he would express himself the same way, but we will never know, will we?”
(more at link) I am sorry. In the name of Brazil, I am truly, truly sorry. I hope Ann Druyan (Sagan's widow) eviscerates these sick woo-woo motherfuckers. In fact, I have just tipped a big-name criminal law firm I have contacts with.
