Great episode!
If Ray Stanford's mission is to have a serious discussion about UFOs and good evidence, this movie was his opportunity to contribute what he has. Rather than put forward his footage, which he claims shows a "flying saucer in broad day light, shooting a plasma beam at him," :rolls eyes: he chose to spend his time at the national archive debating the curvature of a on old symbol in the Blue Book record. If Stanford really had the "smoking gun" footage, I don't understand why he would even want to waste his time with trivial aspects of an old trace landing case where all the witnesses are dead.
To give an example, this would be like a aging Bigfoot researcher, who claims to have irrefutable clear video evidence of the creature, deciding to spend his days submitting molds of barely distinguishable footprints in an attempt to "expose the reality of the best."
My point is...if Stanford had ground breaking footage, and if he was serious about furthering the subject he spent his entire life "researching," he wouldn't be worrying about the symbol, as reported in the Blue Book file, he wouldn't be trying to get a photo from Socorro analyzed, because he thinks he sees a "black speck" he believes to be evidence of a craft, but rather he would be putting out his footage.
The guy who has bigfoot's body in his back yard, wouldn't waste his time trying to get plaster casts made of some poorly created foot print in the middle of nowhere. Similarly, if Stanford had remarkable UFO footage, he wouldn't waste his time with vague symbols and blurry pictures of he and Hyneck, that purportedly show a "speck."
The fact Tracy Torme said he would flat out walk away from this film if Stanford had any further influence or involvement in it, should tell anyone all they need to know. Torme is a gentleman, and a straight shooter. He doesn't say things like this lightly.
