This article shows just how naive the "straight " scientific
community is with respect to knowledge about the UFO phenomenon.

Evidently Dr. Saylor knows virtually nothing of the history other
than the Roswell case (which he may also know very little
about).

He says that unlike "true stories" such as Watergate the UFO
stories change with time.   Well, guess what.... so did Watergate
during investiagtion (and we still don't know who Deep Throat
was/is). And science "stories" also change. He is apparently
arguing from a very narrow viewpoint....  myopic.... as a result
of concentrating on the Roswell case.

The extreme irony of this is that one of the BEST cases in the
early years was the sighting by Dr. Charles B. Moore.... yes, he
of "Mogul Balloon" fame and, if I recall correctly, coauthor
with Dr. Saylor. (Perhaps Moore didn't dare say anything about
his sightings.)
