Dogfight Over a Dogfight - Michael Prescott's Blog

Two accounts of the September 18, 1976, Royal Iranian Air Force F4 Phantom UFO events are tested by Michael Prescott. It's an interesting and illuminating comparison, even to the level of Things Not Said in the different versions. A lesser-known encounter just eight years prior has for the last four been the center of a political dogfight, as Tim Binnall relates in Town Removes Massive UFO Monument. The embedded video and Tim's account provide a good sense of the why of the monument, and the reasons for its removal--to a place unknown. It's doubtful we've heard the last word on this. Both of these old cases still generate emotional responses. So how can emotion-raising media techniques shape how we view the UFO subject? Micah Hanks offers The Joke's On You: How Late-Night Comedy Helped Modernize the UFO Debate. While it's uncertain what prompted Hillary Clinton's camp to accept Jimmy Kimmel's upcoming question, Hanks does a good job covering the background and possible reasons. Entertainment and perhaps purpose underlie this last item, as David Pescovitz wants us to Watch This Far-out Japanese Animated "Documentary" About UFOs (1975). Harkening back to a time just before the Iranian engagements, this production takes liberties with the facts and sounds rather like an "Ancient Aliens" installment. (WM)
