An Astronomer Who Believes in Aliens Explains Why He's Not Convinced by UFO Sightings - Science Alert

Chris Impey enumerates many arguments against UFOs-as-ET-productions. He doesn't demonstrate much reading in the subject, for instance alleging that "the Roswell Incident was soon explained as the crash landing of a military high-altitude balloon"--yep, nearly 50 years afterward. It's also not instantly apparent why many UFO reporters being "either dog walkers or smokers" has any probative value against the "alienness" of UFOs themselves. The implied connection with alcohol consumption is such an old and ridiculous canard that it's embarrassing to see it unearthed again. And cherry-picking one 1997 psychological study of young adults also does not do justice to the depth of that subject.(WM)
