For nearly 40 years, the science establishment has ignored the UFO problem, relegating it to the domain of believers and mental imcompetents (a.k.a. "kooks and nuts"). Scientists have participated in a "self-cover-up" by refusing to look at the credible and well reported data. Furthermore, some of those few scientists who have studied UFO data have published explanations which are unconvincing or just plain wrong and have "gotten away with it" because most of the rest of the community has not cared enough to analyze these explanations. The general reelection of the scientific validity of UFO sightings has made it difficult to publish analyses of good sightings. Examples are presented of the scientific-self-cover-up involving erroneous explanations, refusal to look at the data, and rejection of papers for publication. How long will this situation last? Forty years is long enough'
