As usual there were too many people and the selected debunkers knew next to nothing about the subject. The first part was excellent with lecturer/researcher Robert Hastings introducing his new book UFOs and Nukes and having three former Air Force officers telling their UFO stories. Messrs. Salas and Jamieson were both involved with the very impressive Malmstrom AFB case involving the shutdown by UFOs of 10 ICBMs. The third was Dr. Jacobs who told the incredible tale of catching a UFO on film as it zapped the warhead on a missile fired down range from Vandenberg AFB and moving at 8000 mph. Unfortunately, skepti-bunker William Nye, who for years was called The Science Guy (better would be Mr Deny) was on. He had appeared a few weeks earlier explaining away Roswell with a totally ludicrous explanation of a Skyhook Balloon supposedly used to spy on the Soviets. None had been launched at the time of Roswell. It was designed to lift large payloads to high altitudes for scientific experiments, was not a spy balloon and was made of polyethylene. Nothing matched witness testimony, but he insisted to me when I tried to talk to him off camera: “That is the way it was.” Arrogance and ignorance make a sad, totally unscientific, explanation. He was even worse with the air force officers suggesting it was just a coincidence that all 10 missiles went off line. Maybe it was a power failure (power supply was, not surprisingly, triply redundant). Much more foolishness from him. He stayed on for the 2nd half of the program and was Joined by SETI specialist Dr. Seth Shostak and James Fox, TV producer of Out of the Blue, and myself. I was interrupted so much I thought I was going through a revolving door. Seth misrepresented my views. Which is no surprise. He made an interesting point claiming that I had said people who haven’t done any investigation shouldn’t express an opinion. He noted that one can evaluate work outside one’s own specialty, if one reads the literature and checks out the person involved. I totally agree and did this myself when I did a weekly science commentary for CBC radio for six years. Unfortunately, the SETI cultists have not read the UFO literature and never reference it. Therefore, they are not able to make scientific comments. I talk about this at length in FSS in the chapter about the Cult of SETI. Also drawing a great deal of attention lately were comments made by Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the Moon (Apollo 14). He shocked a UK radio broadcaster by stating that Roswell was real, that there had been many alien visits to earth, and that there was a substantial worldwide cover-up. Been a lot of reaction to the comments. These views aren’t new. Edgar had lived in Roswell as a youth, had been informed by insiders that there was plenty of information, etc. He wrote a foreword to FSS.
