1957 RB47 case... solved?



Tim Printy takes a crack at the famous 1957 RB47 UFO incident, which UFO researchers voted as the best case ever in my 2007 film "Best Evidence" (ever since, some people have insisted on referring to this case as "Paul Kimball's" case, which is as amusing to me as it is ridiculous). Note that Printy is careful to state that the case remains unsolved, even as he tries to offer a prosaic explanation for it that stands as a counter-view to the work of people like Brad Sparks and James McDonald. 

Interesting reading.

My only quibble with Printy is that this is the second time he has referenced private correspondence between us in his 'zine. Perhaps it's a Canadian vs. American thing, or maybe my folks just raised me different, but to me private correspondence is private correspondence. Anyone who engages Printy along those lines should consider themselves warned.

That said, full credit to him for taking on the case.

Are you back to blogging Paul? If so, that's great!

As for Printy, bad form on his part talking about a private message. Somehow I doubt that you "accused" him of anything. I suspect "encouraged" or "challenged" would have been closer to the mark?

Looking forward to the book!!

No real return to blogging, Ryan - too much going on in the real world. I figured I should mention Printy's RB47 thing, however, as it's a case that I have taken an interest in over the years. People can have a look, and make of it what they will (and compare it to the work of people like Sparks and McDonald).

All the best in 2012!
