Paranormal Annoyance
Good show, overall. I have to admit I didn't think I'd be interested in the subject but, as usual, I found myself intrigued if for no other reason than the fact that Mack was articulate and intelligent. His lacking, and I think with the book, also, is his due diligence and critical thinking. Mack admitted to not vetting a lot of his resources and to doing most of his research on the Internet. Big mistakes, there,but digging is digging and can lead to other clues. Unfortuntely it can also lead to muddying the waters more, too, and Mack admitted to not being an investigative journalist so that lets him off the hook a bit. I suppose he could take some serious lessons from Leslie Keane.
I found the story about the Red Baron engaging a UFO interesting if not all that credible. Our highest level of technology today can't take down such a craft so I doubt that an airplane from the '30's could do so regardless of how good the Baron's flying (or his delicious pizza) is. What had me arching a brow is the supposed fact that the Baron was told "not to say anything about the encounter" by his government. Are we to believe that governmental information suppression occured in the '30's, too? Hrm.
Of course the reports regarding direct military contact with UFO's are fascinating, both for Vietnam and the Korean conflict in which my own father fought. If he were alive today I'd love to ask him about such a thing. I'm thinking that Leslie Keane could do a follow up to her previous "On the Record..." book by looking into some of these previous accounts of UFO's observing wartime engagements. As usual, the most credible source for follow up; the military and government records, are either suppressed, fabricated, or diluted to the point of pointlessness. Still, good stories and hopefully this will be material to investigate by others who can focus on particular, individual accounts, especially considering that a good majority are more recent than, say, Roswell.
My 2 pennies.
