What Have UFOs Given Us?

Here we are during the 60+ anniversary of the Roswell incident.

In all these years I had to think of what UFOs have given us as
a collective culture. Sure stories of extraterrestrials in fiction
have existed and most notably the most famous alien of them
all, Superman, have permeated the culture and become icons.

Yet Superman was created over a decade earlier than the
UFO/flying saucer wave of the late 1940s and look at pop
culture now as well as science and news and history.

The concept of extraterrestrials was alive and profitable before
Roswell but the witnessing and testifying of interaction with
real craft and beings came much later in volume although there
have been stories of such since who knows when.

Art, music, film, television, print, radio, internet all benefit from
the interest in UFOs and the notion of extraterrestrials. The
subject makes money for everyone except the guys and gals
who do the grunt work researching the phenomenon.

I sat here the past few weeks putting together my comic book
art to do proposals for the comics publishers and realized the
bulk of the characters were extraterrestrials.

Seems like those space aliens are still popular.

I had to stop and realize how much our imaginations have
been stimulated by the concepts involved with UFOs and ETs
and wondered where we’d be in industry, science, etc. had
there been no major UFO/flying saucer phenom.

I felt kind of lonely contemplating that.

The subject sparks the imagination and produces some darn
good products and that may be the biggest benefit of all that
it’s a subject with some sort of causality loop that feeds back
on itself every few years and stimulates more minds to pursue
scientific and historical research.

I think the subject enriches us even with the naysayers and
fringe folk. In this regard UFOs are a good thing.
