And since your post was #2, what specific discussion were you referring to?
***Directly from the article:
The 19 former pilots and government officials, who say they have seen UFOs themselves or been involved in probes of strange flying objects, told reporters their questions can no longer be dismissed more than 30 years after the US case was closed.
THESE 19 PILOTS. What they saw are military aircraft. Now go and read the book. Educate yourself.
The 19 former pilots and government officials
Oh, so you and the book guy are only referring to these 19 people only, not the tens of thousands of other credible people that claimed to have seen these objects. And all 19 saw military craft. OK.
And here I thought you and your book guy had an explanation for all these other sightings over the years, and were implying that all these sightings were military craft, when in fact they could very well be something else.
I can go with that.
