Or perhaps what is really needed for the scientific advancement of the study of UFOs if for someone to pony up a UFO. People tend to think that if we just throw enough money at the problem we could probably solve it. Perhaps if we had some civilian version of Space Command we might be able to get some meaningful data. But even if we had the billions of dollars to create such a system, I don't think the PTB would allow us to operate it. I also used to think that perhaps we could do just as well as the PTB if we only had some serious organization and motivation on the part of all those interested in UFOs. But nowadays, even with the advent of the Internet and the prevalence of portable digital cameras, we still aren't getting any closer to solving the mystery. In fact it's getting even more confusing. Our only real hope ( and it's even a super long shot ) is to get something like what Kean is trying to do in place. There is no reason in principle that a liaison program shouldn't work, but the reality is that the PTB have a tendency to want to keep all the marbles in their own bag.
