Why???  I do not find this reasonable at all.

In actual fact, it is often the case that as technology advances,
mechanisms become simpler.  A modern computer printer has far
fewer parts than a vintage typewriter, for example, and a designer
for one of those old typewriters would have been totally lost if
handed the smashed remains of a modern inkjet printer.  There would
be no signs of technology!

In other words all the witnesses were idiots who could not recognize
a radar target, something many of them knew quite well.

Also, Kent, why not be honest and report Jess Marcel's comments
on his hypnosis sessions.  He is not impressed in the slightest
with your reasoning or assessment, and still sticks to his story
that what he saw was not of known origin.
