Have you ever considered that these people with wild claims ARE the disinformation agents? What better way to discredit legitimate cases than to flood the narrative with nonsense? Same goes for conspiracy theories, these "agents" put forth radical claims that overshadow potentially real conspiracies, because the crazier you make the entire group look, the less people pay attention.

My guy is Fred Crisman.
Did you know that Doty was taking stories that were handed over to him by Moore and others and repackaging them in to stuff like the MJ12 documents and the "Aquarius Breifings"?
Doty was effectively feeding the UFO community its own re-processed dog food. Sort of like social engineering and packet forging.
The problem with anecdotal evidence, even from a credible source, is that it is ALWAYS unreliable. People's brains play tricks on them and those tricks get worse when they are trying to remember events (ex: a fisherman catches a 1 foot long fish that quickly escalates to 2, 3, 4, or higher feet long with each retelling).
Several of the hippies were convinced "It's aliens maaaan, and they got cauuggghhht."

What makes you such an expert? Who are these "crazies"? Where is YOUR proof they are, in fact, "crazy"?
...or is it just...
YOUR OPINION?! Edit:Oh, wow...You have UFO books? You must truly be an expert on what is and is not. /sarcasm

Hey Schuyler, I think the test is a really good idea, though I don't think too many people would want print it out a write out essay type answers. Did you ever consider making it an online test? Where results could be tallied and logged?

Oh, you don't have ADD? I thought everyone had that by now.
I'm talking online, multiple choice, true false, 15 to 20 minutes. State if you are a believer or skeptic or other. Tally, chart, graphs...
then maybe we can have the advanced testing version
