Stephenville in Fate
 For everyone who has followed the debate concerning the Stephenville, Texas UFO encounters, this is essential reading: a lengthy new article on the subject written by Ufologist Don Ledger and published in the new issue of Fate Magazine.
Here’s an extract from Don’s report:
“At 6:12 p.m. on Tuesday, January 8, Allen and Mike Odom, his close friend of 45 years, were sitting around a campfire with their acquaintance Lance Jones on a small knoll outside Selden three miles east of Stephenville next to Route 67. The men were unwinding after work, enjoying the first mild night in a week. The sun was halfway down over the horizon to the west when Allen spotted an enormous object approaching rapidly from the east.
“Allen described an object he believed to be a mile long and a half-mile high comprised of four large, intensely bright white lights. Each light was the size of a quarter held at arm’s length.”
And as Don also notes: “During the hoopla that surrounded the Stephenville sightings, no one seemed to notice that all of this activity was taking place about 22 miles from the edge of the restricted airspace surrounding President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. It is no secret that the Bush ranch is close by, so why have the media not picked up on this? Where were the local newspapers from Dallas and Stephenville? Where was CNN? It was never brought up on either of the Larry King Live shows dedicated to the Stephenville sightings.”

All these size estimates strike me as dubious, and quoting the size estimates without comment is even more dubious. If you see lights in the sky, it’s very unlikely you know how far away they are (if there is a background object like a mountain you can upper bound the distance, but not so in this case), so size and altitude are simply unknowns. You also don’t know if you are seeing lights on a structured object or just lights.

Perhaps the reason the size commentary is absent has to do with the idea that your points about perspective has been rehashed to death and the writers assume their audience is smart enough to have a grasp on it.

No, I’m not buying that. Why include information that we all know is meaningless and misleading?

So–the alternative would be to actually exclude the information? It seems the options would be to rehash the obvious, which has already been done ad naseum–a monkey could figure it out–or just not include it. Lovely.
