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.)
