Why Don't Alien Spacecraft Crash in Urban Communities?

-

Greetings. The history of the UFO phenomenon features a number of alleged events and scenarios, a short and incomplete list follows:

1. Landings. 

2. Alien abductions. 

3. Radar/visual events. 

4. Crash/retrievals. 

5. Military encounters.

The scenario of the crash/retrieval is the focus of this particular writing. 

If one takes a long, thorough look at UFO history, it quickly becomes apparent that the crash/retrieval scenario is almost commonplace, nothing out of the ordinary, at least from a numerical standpoint. When one digs deeper into the claims of crash/retrievals, it also becomes apparent that the vast majority of the cases are simply anecdotal stories with no physical proof or evidence to support their reality. The names are famous (infamous) in UFO lore; Aztec, Aurora, Del Rio, Edinburg, Kingman, Maury Island, San Agustin, Cape Girardeau, and the list goes on and on and on into UFO obscurity. 

If we look at the very same stories and ask ourselves a few questions, one particular inquiry stands out among the rest: Why don't we have any claimed crash/retrievals in urban communities, cities? There are literally hundreds of stories about crash/retrievals in the UFO literature, most being just a story with a date, a place, and a time, and no other information. A few have more details and an attached storyline which has become the stuff of legend. The Aztec and Maury Island hoaxes are two such examples, two stories that have achieved legendary status in the UFO subculture. However, we have no stories about a crash/retrieval occurring within the confines of a city, or in an urban community. It always seems to happen in an out of the way area, in the middle of nowhere, and in close proximity to a military installation, nowhere near a highly populated metropolitan center.

If extraterrestrials are scrutinizing the self-destructive military interaction that is human society, then logically such intelligences would make observations of our cities, where vast numbers of humans interact on a daily basis. However, we don't have any examples of a crashed UFO in a city, which is odd. No crash in Larimer Square in Denver, Colorado. No crash on the White House lawn in Washington D.C. No crash in Trafalgar Square in London, England. Nothing. Random chance dictates that with all the hundreds of stories centering around crash/retrieval events (assuming the majority of the stories are true, which I don't,) we should have at least a few such events taking place in an urban environment, but we don't have any. Just last summer a story about an alleged UFO crash in Las Vegas came to light, but soon after the story broke, it was shown to be a hoax. So the 2023 Las Vegas UFO crash story can be thrown into the trash heap of crash/retrievals. The number remains at zero. 

This statistical emptiness suggests a few possibilities, some far more likely than some others:

1. Extraterrestrials are not taking stock of humans in urban communities. 

2. The vast majority of crash/retrieval stories are not grounded in reality. 

3. Extraterrestrials have not visited the planet. 

4. Working under the assumption that the majority of crash/retrieval stories are untrue and pure fiction, the low numbers of robust cases support the statistical emptiness, hence the lack of urban crashes. 

I don't have any answers, so I'll leave the unsupported declarations to those who make such indefensible leaps of illogic, but it is an interesting question to take into consideration. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Burning Ufological Bridges: The Effort to Protect One's Standing in the UFO Social Club.

Greetings. Burning bridges, a course of action that rarely, if ever, occurs in the chaotic and muddled excrement exchange program known as the UFO subculture.  The UFO world is a pseudoscientific playground, devoid of scientific methodologies and critical thought processes. Tangible evidence is of no importance, with unconfirmed storytelling holding court with the tinfoil hat wearing UFO masses. It may have always been this way, even during the heady days of Coral and Jim Lorenzen, but the current situation seems to be an undefeatable opponent, at least for those individuals who hold that scientific research efforts are the sole productive road to travel down.  By direct contrast, the scientific research community conducts itself in a completely different manner, with public scrutiny, open transparency, and peer-reviewed exercises held in high regard. The UFO research community doesn't have any professional methodological standards, nor does it conduct any sort of open back-an...

Ufological Pushback Against the Scientific Method and its Proponents? A Hypocritical Course of Action.

Greetings. Why is a data-driven, skeptical, dispassionate approach to the UFO problem viewed in such a negative light by some in the UFO subculture?  Why does the application of the scientific method garner such consistent pushback from some in the UFO subculture? While there have been some historical examples of credentialed scientists taking a look at the UFO problem, such occurrences are relatively rare, and certainly not the norm. The UFO phenomenon and its attached subculture, have always been viewed in a negative light by the greater scientific research community. The fault for some of that reasoning lies squarely at the feet of the UFO subculture itself, with its tinfoil hat, costume wearing adherents, and its penchant for embracing the "woo" and other beliefs and mythologies that are "grounded" in faith and not supported by any irrefutable evidence whatsoever.  Has the situation changed to any substantial degree over the decades? I believe it has, but only b...

The De-Evolution of the UFO Subculture: A Ufological Wallace Line.

Greetings. Ever since Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace conceived of the theory of natural selection, the theory of evolution, the term has been applied to a multitude of topics, most of which referring to the gradual advancement of the technology our species has at its disposal.  Whether it be the internal combustion engines contained within the vast majority of automobiles currently in use on the planet, the computer systems that seem to have taken over the day-to-day mundane tasks and responsibilities of the human species, or the copious amounts of weaponry stored and kept at the ready by many of the nations of the world, our technology has slowly been advancing in complexity, increasing in overall capability. Have humans changed to keep pace? Not really. We are still the rascist, warlike, belligerent, heavily armed species of hominid we have always been since we initially descended from the trees of sub-Saharan Africa several hundred thousand years ago.  But I digre...
