Experts Weigh In on Pentagon UFO Report - Scientific American

Leonard David recaps recent DoD and public interest in UAPs with rather heavy emphasis on the skeptical side. Printing some hallowed-by-repetition terms for those who consider the possibility of unearthly UFOs, David marches out a bevy of skeptical champions before and after two important open-minded individuals get mostly bit-parts while advocating a more, shall one say, scientific attitude and approach to the matter. Oumuamua-advocate Avi Loeb (who offers "to lead scientific inquiry into the nature of these reports and advise Congress accordingly") and recent UFO culture author Sarah Scoles add commentary. David also consulted Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) Executive Board Member Robert Powell, who argues for federal release of unclassified UAP data on David's UFOs, UAPs-A Sky Full of Unknowns? Powell's colleague Rich Hoffman is interviewed by Duncan Phenix at What's the Connection between Almost 80 Years of UFO Encounters? Hoffman discusses highlights from the recent SCU Conference, his 57-year historical take on what's happening now, and his hopes for a funded scientific study in the wake of the upcoming UAPTF Report. And in 'There is Stuff': Enduring Mysteries Trail US Report on UFOs, J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies Scientific Director Mark Rodeghier, the lone ufologist cited in David's Scientific American article, voices much the same hopes as Powell and Hoffman for the aftermath of the Report and proposes a sensible project using existing satellite resources as a possibility. Mark Hammergren presents the "requisite astronomer angle" and traditional points in this interview. (WM)
