Ufologists Accuse Journalist of "Attacking" Tim Gallaudet Over Cable TV Ghost Show

​I usually prepare my weekend newsletter on Friday and take the weekend off. Naturally, that’s when the ufologists decide to make news. Chris Mellon, who only months ago insisted UFOs were alien craft, did an about-face and began talking about UFOs being drones and tweeting that everyone has always known the big problem was drones. Ross Coulthart gave a speech in which he alleged that he had arranged to have all the UFO secrets he knows published by a third party should unnamed nefarious forces succeed in assassinating him for knowing too much. He could, of course, forestall his death by simply revealing his secrets, or even who is after him, but instead he has hopped on the bandwagon with Lue Elizondo, Jeremy Corbell, Garry Nolan, and other UFO influencers claiming unspecified death threats.

​Meanwhile, this weekend, oceanographer ad retired rear admiral turned ufology celebrity Tim Gallaudet mentioned on The Good Trouble Show podcast that he and his wife went on Discovery’s The Dead Files in 2016 with their then-6-year-old daughter to discuss her alleged psychic powers and the ghosts they believe are haunting their home. Journalist Steven Greenstreet described the episode on X (formerly Twitter), which prompted Good Trouble propagandist Matt Ford to falsely declare that “he attacked Navy veteran Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet by going after his wife and children.”
 
Then, Lue Elizondo got into the action, with a lengthy tirade:

I know Admiral Gallaudet @GallaudetTim and he is a national hero. I encourage everyone to watch Matt's @GoodTroubleShow short video. The behavior by certain journalists are disgusting. BTW, the same characters that attack Tim and his family are the same ones attacking me and anyone associated with GVT transparency. Ask yourself this question:  Why does the Pentagon and former AARO leadership use the media outlets they do while freezing others out? Answer: because they know certain hack journalists will promote their nonsense. Wake up America, your freedoms are under siege by pseudo journalists with an agenda that is not in your best interest.  I hope every member of Congress watches this video.

​Remember—Gallaudet and his wife willingly went on national television to promote supernatural stories about their own child. If anyone is exploiting a child in this situation, it’s the people who chose to make her a subject of public discussion and debate by going on national television to make supernatural claims. It is hardly an “attack” to accurately describe a TV show that millions of people worldwide have seen, unless we are to imagine that TV appearances are somehow private unless the subject explicitly discusses them himself. Oh wait… he did.
 
The whole controversy is a ridiculous bit of Trumpian propaganda designed to distract from the obvious: Tim Gallaudet, far from being he objective scientist he pretends to be for the purposes of influencing Congress and the media, is just another paranormal believer trying to cloak his supernatural beliefs in the language of science and to get the government to pay for them.
 
Incidentally, according to Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, Elizondo also claims to wield psychic powers.
