I find it amazing, that everywhere in the relevant media, both intentionally and presumably organically, 'drama' is almost always "inserted" into the story. Almost as if the story itself didn't suffice to capture an audience.
Some may say it is a natural development of human interaction. Some may say that it is consequence of the self-policing aspect of the kind of collective information gathering that is going on. Perhaps even more might think this is going to exist, as a function of the audience itself, as consumers of information we're exerting pressure on the narrative to conform to a human story. I wonder if it isn't an indicator of the 'produced' nature of the narrative brought before us.
Some of the protagonists in these accounts are awfully suspect, from a certain perspective... after all, they are 'making a living' from the activities in which they are engaged publicly. Not meaning that it is unreasonable or indicative of a con, only that it must never be forgotten as an aspect of the tellers story, should it be the case.
There are many who present alleged evidence, mostly well-vetted; who cannot help but fall into the spotlight... but those that choose to remain in the spotlight do conjure up the specter of insincerity... especially when their personalities and personal accounts become embroiled in 'the drama.'
Personally, I think we should have no need for "UFO celebrities;" so whenever it seems that some publicist, or producer, is crafting a series of appearances on 'the circuit,' I become hesitant with my enthusiasm. There's a significant difference between the 'teller' of the story... and the story itself. When the teller 'steps into' the story, I feel it requires a different set of listening skills.
