INDEED. ME TOO.

And Stanton Friedman has that kind of guts in abundance.

And backs his courage up with EXTENSIVE archival etc. research.

Been reading the book, The Black Swan. It's point is that we should not confuse the fact that there is no evidence for something with the alternative, that there is evidence that there is nothing.

Just because something hasn't happened, perhaps for many years, say discovery of hard proof, doesn't mean it won't. Events routinely happen that are not predictable. The analogy is that a turkey is fed and cared for for 1,000 days. He has no evidence that anything untoward would be done to him by his caregivers, on the contrary they take good care of him. But on the 1,000th day, they kill the turkey, it's almost Thanksgiving. 1,000 days of no evidence of that event seemed like proof that it wouldn't happen. Wrong. Don't be a turkey.
