This is one of the most complete examples of the media insulting
the scientists and researchers working in ufology that I've seen
in a long time.
Very impressive.
I personally think that Weaver and his associates in the Air
Force didn't even come close to matching research which indicated
a ballon explanation that hard working civilian researchers like
Karl Pflock and Robert Todd have dug up through the years. Weaver
doesn't deserve credit for original research, he played off
civilian research, we all know it.
This report goes a lot further than interviewing Weaver and
presenting a skeptical perspective on Roswell. It insults the
whole field of ufology with extreme prejudice.
Jared.
