Not Just a TV Scientist: Dr. Travis Taylor's Deep Roots with NASA, DoD - Mystery Wire

Rising in the current raft of UFO-related personalities is the man recently "outed" as the former chief scientist for the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF). Travis Taylor's "outer" George Knapp talks with Taylor about how Taylor "navigated" the challenges of government work plus TV stardom. An interesting discussion of career paths and "dueling NDAs." Robert Sheaffer has the skeptical take on the former-skeptic in Meet the Face of the Pentagon's "UAP Task Force" - Dr. Travis Taylor!. Sheaffer comments on George Knapp's revelation about Taylor's UAPTF history, and expresses doubts regarding that UFO program's "investigative skills." Sheaffer repeats Jason Colavito's conflict of interest charges against Taylor, and also presents questionable Taylor vignettes from three different TV series. An answer of sorts comes from George Knapp's I-Team: Drones, Birds and Bokeh: How the UAP Task Force Evaluated UFO Cases. This interview with Taylor emphasizes the multiple sensory sources behind most of the "unknowns" in the 144 cases the UAPTF studied, makes the standard case for not fully releasing details about those sources, and seems to equate "skeptic" with "debunker" (or perhaps uses the two different terms in the discrete combination of "A skeptic and a debunker"). And The Observer questions the rationale of a news personality and defends one of Nick Pope's controversial themes in Tucker the UFO Sucker, Government Mutes, and Bird Watchers. (WM)
