De Void knows what you're thinking:
"My 401(k) is on fire. My house is worth 45,000 less than what I paid for it. I'm losing driving to work. If I lose my job, I'll have to eat the cat. I'm tweezering the gruesome splattered chunks of my mutual funds from the fresh splinters in the walls and ceiling. Why won't the U.S. Air Force comment on the Stephenville UFO?"
Well, forget Stephenville. Dr. Michael Swords, retired history professor at Western Michigan University, says you'd need a time machine to understand the USAF's dysfunctional PR relationship with this stuff.
"Alexander The Great once asked Aristotle what it'd take to teach him geometry quickly," Swords says from his home in Kalamazoo. "Aristotle said, 'There is no royal road to geometry. And there isn't a royal road to this, either. This is one of the most complicated fields in world history."
You'd have to revisit the late 1960s, when the USAF was looking for a way to wriggle off the UFO accountability hook. Its mechanism was the University of Colorado study of UFOs, whose bogus conclusions that the phenomenon did not and never would produce compelling science stirred a tempest of controversy even before they were published in 1969.
Swords has spent countless hours evaluating that amazing ruse, which was endorsed by the National Academies of Science despite the fact the U of C's dismissive conclusions were at sharp odds with raw data reflecting alarming percentages of unknown explanations for UFOs. He added his dissent to the growing body of skepticism in the Journal of UFO Studies nearly 20 years ago.
In June, Swords and Mutual UFO Network's national research director Robert Powell traveled to Texas A">See Also:
