Bruce Maccabee enlightens us with his commentary:

Obviously, you don't agree with the picture that Oberg paints in
his essay.

>He may have gotten an award, but the real question is, was he

Actually, does is not what he states at all. He emphatically
takes the position that there will always reports that can't be
explained.

Apparently you either haven't bothered to read the paper
carefully and instead wished to comment on matters outside of
the paper presented. May I suggest you use a separate thread for
those matters. For example, you can start a thread on Gemini-11
if you feel strongly about it?

>and now let's get back to the real 'business' of ufology

Ahhh! Now that is interesting. What is the real 'business' of
ufology? Since you dismiss out of hand the commentary by Oberg,
I surmise you feel all is well in ufology and progressing
accordingly. Care to share your insights?
