WILL YOU KNOW THE TRUTH
ABOUT UFOS BEFORE YOU DIE?
April/May 2025
“No matter how long you live, you will never know any more about UFOs than you know today. You will never know any more about what UFOs really are, or where they come from…As you lie on your own deathbed you will be as mystified about UFOs as you are today. And you will remember this curse.”
Philip Klass
This year marks two decades since Philip J. Klass (a well-known aeronautical news writer and UFO arch skeptic) wrote his chilling deathbed curse against UFO believers before he departed this life. In the twenty years since his death, we remain no closer to unraveling the UFO phenomenon. And since the Klass curse, many notable UFO investigators who devoted their adult lives trying to solve the mystery are no longer with us.
It is a stark realization that the next two decades will likely not bring forth any answers either. It will then have been a century that will have passed since the modern UFO era began. Many of us will be gone without ever having obtained clarity on the phenomenon. We will expire having never cast our eyes upon an alien corpse or having held a piece of alien crash debris in our hands. We will leave this world never having met visitors from other worlds. We will not know their origins, how they got here, why they are here, and why they do not make open contact.
WHY DIE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT?
The UFO curse made by Klass is unsettling. He has seemingly condemned us to being just as ignorant as ever about the UFO at the time of our own deaths. His words try to deny us hope that the truth will be found and that we will live to know that truth. Why do we continually self-inflict frustration and disappointment trying to gain insight into the UFO?
The answer is because of our enduring sense of wonder and spirit of discovery:
“The March of Science” is a phrase that is not as commonly used today as it was in the early to mid-part of the last century. It refers to the continual drive of human intellectual endeavor. It recognizes that the observations, evidence, and theories that we develop today move forward to help benefit the people of tomorrow. It gives thought to those who will come after us. It embraces the unfoldment of inquiry.
You will likely not know the truth about UFOs before you die. But by investigating and reporting on the UFO, we create a record of information that perhaps one day will be of value to a generation that can transcend the current limitations of human science. When we research the phenomena, we provide steps in this great march to understanding.
The search for answers about the UFO is essentially a quest to find out whether we are alone. And that is a pursuit that prevails against the ill wishes of any skeptic.
