The BBC on UFOs
Britain’s BBC gets in on the 60th anniversary of the birth of the Flying Saucer:
It’s 60 years since the term flying saucer was coined and the most celebrated “extraterrestrial” episode - Roswell. Alien believers are dismissed as cranks, but even the earthly explanations of objects in the sky are fascinating.
Sixty years ago Kenneth Arnold saw something which changed his own life and the lives of millions of others, and impacted on popular culture like a shockwave.
Flying his plane near Mount Rainier in the US state of Washington, he observed a line of strange objects either crescent-shaped or disc-like, flying with the motion of a saucer skimming on water.
Arnold’s sighting, quickly picked up by the press, was followed a fortnight later by the revelation of perhaps the most notorious episode in the history of UFOs, at Roswell in New Mexico.
And here’s the rest of it.

[quote]Having witnessed a UFO that could not initially be explained, Mr Devereux has dedicated his life to research.
“It bugged the hell out of me, almost gave me a mental breakdown. I couldn’t make it fit into the everyday mundane world view.” [/quote]
Most of the hardened skeptics like to claim that they are dispassionate about the subject and only care about science and critical thinking, but I’ve long believed that they are driven by what Mr Devereux admitted above. UFO’s and other weird phenomena are a threat to their belief system.

Science is just as “driven” by irrationality as UFOlogy, as detailed in my free online “book as a blog entry”:
