This is, of course, an all-too-common flaw within the skeptical and scientific communities.<br /><br />For example, his claims that ETH is "very, very unlikely," and "if the evidence is just these blurry photographs and grainy videos, that's just not [going to] cut it in science." BUT THAT'S NOT 'JUST THE EVIDENCE.'<br /><br />Dr. Shermer (in line with his many colleagues) is being willfully ignorant. He (and them) in large part can't be bothered to research the UFO literature on the subject. They pretend it doesn't exist ... except as 'Anomalies.'<br /><br />Well, UFO investigators and researchers -- and in particular, yourself -- have uncovered quite a number of fascinating 'Anomalies,' <i>e.g.,</i> Roswell, Levelland, Socorro, and Ariel School -- to name just a few, if the skeptics and scientists could only be spurred to give such cases due consideration. Unfortunately, there is a complete disconnect.John Steigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038697365721558826noreply@blogger.com
