Washington Post, Monday, July 28, 1952: "'Saucer' Outran Jet, Pilot Reveals"

[PJMcK]

1. Two thoughts

The first letter of UFO stand for "unidentified." One cannot conclude that the unidentified thing is an alien spacecraft. How does that make any sense at all?

Secondly, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show us real proof. Frankly, this is the same principle that should be applied to Trump's claims of voter fraud: Put up or shut up.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has pointed out that in science, eye-witness testimony is the least reliable evidence and it's why scientist build incredible machines like the Webb Telescope and the Large Hadron Collider. These machines provide hard-core evidence.

Curiously, in our court system, eye-witness testimony is given almost the highest level of legitimacy even though there are countless examples of mistaken identity.
