It is now accepted as fact by all the better informed researchers in the field that Carl Sagan was a paid government debunker. He had the clearnance, background, training, and evidently salary, to do it.
I always felt that was true before the evidence came out about him—some of it after his death.
I never believed a thing he said.
Did you watch the youtube piece where he explained the “star map”, do you dispute his conclusions? It seemed very straight forward and logical to me, there was nothing extraordinary about Betty’s star map at all. You or I could put dots on a piece of paper and explore the stars for similarities and surely find a constellation MUCH CLOSER to accurate than Betty’s star map.
I’d be interested to see the proof that Sagan was a government debunker, some quotes or something. If it’s just UFOlogists dismissing him as a government shill or debunker, well, you can just call anyone a government shill or paid debunker with whom you don’t agree with. I’m not a govt. shill, lol. I just enjoy getting to the bottom of lots of different phenomenoms.
Recovered memories always stuck in my craw because innocent people went to jail because of them and I did a lot of research about it.
