 One word: wrong! Why is it so difficult for some people to make an effort=
=20
 <hint hint> to check these things? Kottmeyer's "point" isn't much of one,=
=20
 for one thing, a simple look at Arnold's letter to the Air Force (which is
 reproduced in "Project Blue Book: Top Secret UFO Findings Revealed,=
 Steiger,=20
 1976) tells a different story. Arnold himself wrote he had observed what=20
 appeared to be a "chain of saucer like objects" flying over Mount Rainier=
=20
 There's also a drawing by Arnold included clearly depicting a disk-shaped=
=20
 object. This took me about 5 minutes to check. Why can't PB and MK do the
 same?
