Even if it had validated all of their beliefs, they would still have found a reason to rail against it, simply because it was made by the dreaded MM (mainstream media), which, of course, has been hijacked by (pick one): The New World Order, the Illuminati, the Neo-Cons, the Kinghts of Columbus, MJ-12, the Muppets... whomever.<BR/><BR/>And so it goes, ad infinitum idioticus.<BR/><BR/>PaulPaul Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1136473128991989072006-01-05T10:58:00.000-04:002006-01-05T10:58:00.000-04:00I too was very upset that Vallee was not included....I too was very upset that Vallee was not included. Any pro-conspiracy person is going to pan this presentation simply because it failed to validate whatever their pet idea happens to be. The reason we hear from them now as apposed to ten years ago is simply the fact that we have far more freedom of communication (read The Internet) than we did in 1990. Now anyone with a strange idea can get a world audience, this is a huge liability to the UFO field which lacks credibility to begin with. What the field needs is a method of accreditation like in any other research field.<BR/><BR/>The Jennings’s piece is a step in the right direction. The oft repeated phrase "those (blank) scientists were smug and condescending?" I frankly didn’t notice that. I did notice professionals speaking with great familiarity about a field that they work in day and day out. If that’s smug and condescending to some people I say they should get over themselves. Perhaps start reading up on a subject that they are apparently to ignorant to comment on. <BR/><BR/>I too that the show was positive overall to the UFO field. It did not present all the facts (how could it?) But, it did present a relatively balanced encapsulation of some of the facts. I don’t think any documentary could be asked to provide more.The Odd Emperorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127387562675002576noreply@blogger.com
