Re: UAPs gaining traction in media
This is what I've seen from Mick West about it:
First of all, that was 17 years ago back in 2004. And I think memories have changed quite a bit since then. So it's difficult to read much into current accounts.
I was actually talking to Alex on Twitter last night, actually, and she was saying that the entire encounter lasted just around 10 seconds from the first time they saw it. But the other pilot involved, Dave Fravor, had said before that the entire encounter from the first time he saw it lasted about five minutes. So there are quite significant differences in the accounts of the two pilots.
Eyewitness accounts are very difficult to analyze because they are subject to observation errors and memory errors. So I prefer to go with the actual data where possible, like the videos.
Not exactly an impressive refutation. Maybe there's more from him about it. But otherwise, yeah, he's generally a skeptic but doesn't seem to add a lot.
