The New Yorker's Credulous Article on Pentagon UFOs-Part 1 - Bad UFOs

Time for the loyal opposition to have their say. "Friendly skeptic" Robert Sheaffer picks at the recent Gideon Lewis-Kraus article in The New Yorker in a three-part essay. In this first and in The New Yorker's Credulous Article on Pentagon UFOs-Part2 and The New Yorker's Credulous Article on Pentagon UFOs-Part 3 Sheaffer selects out weaknesses "In this very long article" to cast by implication doubt on the serious core issues of unidentified "somethings" cavorting with apparent freedom in US and other nations' airspace. Jason Wright says I Look for Aliens for a Living, and No, I Don't Study UFOs, mostly offering very understandable reasons for his particular focus. Wright does show that lack of study when he claims that "it's mostly a very recent and very American phenomenon" and seems a bit closed-minded in his predicted response to "lots of revelations." Then there's Keith Kloor's The Biggest UFO Mystery. Kloor may score some points about mainstream journalism's late "coming to the UFO party," and perhaps with more serious engagement with the field over the years some of the conversants in his linked Sustain What: Captured by UFO Mania would themselves be expert enough to remark knowledgeably upon the matter. Again, some interesting observations, but Seth Shostak seems still unaware of former DNI head John Ratcliffe's remarks about UAP satellite imagery, Keith Kloor himself and the group as a whole appear to believe that only the U.S. military experiences "UAP incidents," and Seth's attempts at "explanations" seem "semi-serious" at best.
