I think SOME people out there spend too much time trying to debunk according to the Klass principle-very little facts and investigation and a lot of prejudiced opinion. I hate to repeat Stanton Friedman here, but in this case: absense of evidence is NOT evidence of absense. I think we sometimes take for granted how little power the idea that we don't know something due to lack of info has. Lots of people dismiss things out of hand because the evidence they want isn't handed to them on a silver platter on demand and at lightning quick speed. Remember only 10 years ago we sometimes had to wait years for a case to culminate before a conclusion could be reliably reached. How quickly things change (attitudes that is.)
