The Unexplained Phenomena of the U.F.O. Report - The New Yorker

More reaction to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force report. Gideon Lewis-Kraus follows up his lengthy The New Yorker UFO article with remarks on report's reception and a list of the "stranger" aspects of the report itself. His focus on the report's "Other" of the five likely explanatory categories for UFOs/UAPs will disquiet "disbelievers." Rich Reynolds comments upon that group's likely emotions with You Think We're Depressed; What about UFO Skeptics? The UAP Report and an Historical Perspective has Kevin Randle wondering whether the Report presages a new, useful approach to the UFO issue, or whether it's just "more of the same" governmental snow-job. One skeptical tack is to nibble at elements not related to the report's core topic; hence Sarah Scoles' The UFO Trap. Scoles looks at related journalism, claiming that "Whenever UFOs make the news, standards of skepticism start to slip." Writing in TimesNews, Craig Cottongim asks If UFOs are Real, How Would They Impact Our Faith? While arguing from a Christian standpoint, Cottongim's speculations generally apply to the larger religious arena. And Bryan Sentes regards the situation from an historic-philosophical perspective in Sightings: Saturday 26 June 2021: Contact, the Great Silence, and the Preliminary Assessment. (WM)
