That is bull. My uncle was a university science professor and practiced many science experiments at home, invented his own products, won many awards and was extremely successful. He didn't believe in any paranormal stuff or UFO's, and then he saw one and reported it a few times because he swore it was an alien-looking spacecraft.
I'm sure many scientists, like the rest of us, have seen UFO's. The difference is they don't jump to a conclusion like a UFO conspiracy nut. I think it might be best if we let Clyde Tombaugh speak for himself.
"We can't exclude the possibility that some of the number of UFO-cases are ET-visitors. But I have a hard time to believe it before I have seen authentic proof. I have to be reserved, can't say neither yes or no.
It has been so many cranks and hoaxes in this field, and so many misjudgments - UFO's has certainly ended up with a bad reputation..." Most skeptics I know feel extraterrestial life is very likely. They just don't see enough evidence to jump on the "they are here" bandwagon.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
