I'm considering contesting for the next Fed, page-22

Note your Carl Sagan quote. Sagan made it clear he thought all prospect of there being "UFO'" was total bunkum, always debunking them.. .

We had a late friend, who thought the same, But had his mind changed, dramatically! A well known specialist doctor - in the Australian Naval Reserve, travelling to assist in the Vietnam war - on a gigantic US aircraft carrier - headed north somewhere in the South China Sea at night, at the time. An urgent (panicked) message came in to this carrer's bridge - a US Hawaiian navy base radar warning that they'd picked up some huge unknown massive craft speeding straight for their position - at impossible speed. MAny of the ship's comopany raced up on deck - in time to witness - totally disbelieving - travelling at massive speed, as warned - a huge solid black craft - edges lit - size estimate - at least as big as - or even bigger, than a regular football grpund. It appeared suddenly, whooshed into sight - flew right over the top of the Carrier,, and off into the distance. Speed estimate - 1000 ks an hour, or more. Hundred of ship's company were witnesses.

Anyone who knew this man knows this highly regarded Melbourne specialist knows he would tell the truth. His personal reputation was oin the line, for one thing. His speciality - courtoom medical forensics. Why would he invent such an experinece. What would he have to gain - in lying? His family knew - and still tell it - years after his passing.

even Carl Sagan's theories were not, ALWAYS, right! Pays to keep minds open. And receptive.
