The major media does not want anyone to take the UFO subject seriously, that's exactly why they invited David Sereda on to talk about it. He is so non-credible.

I disagree. I think Sereda is very credible.

lightseeker,
I agree. And I have to say that having been watching the UFO scene since about 1995, and having read 20+ books on the subject -- I'm currently reading Need to Know by Timothy Good -- it seems like the world of ufology has felt like it's been on the brink of disclosure for quite some time. My gut feeling, however, tells me that we haven't and we're still not

EXACTLY. And it looks like many of you have fallen into the trap. Please, please before you support David Sereda, RESEARCH this guy. He is a complete and total nutjob on top of being incredibly biased. Would you really expect anything good to come out of Fox News anyway?
Please use some common sense.

How much of his work have you examined? Have you heard him talking his new-agey crackpot stuff in his books and interviews?

On an unrelated note, it is interesting that Fox does a UFO segment at least once a month. Unfortunately, I believe they do this when they are looking for a slight tabloid-shock jolt to their schedule.
Finally, I watched the interview. I think he holds his own well, defends his position, and does a good job of staying on message. So even if I disagree with him on some interpretations, there is a lot of common ground.
Then, at the end of the interview, the 'news man' tells David to be quiet and then shoots David down with a final quip, in typical Fox "News" style.

links please. i would like to find out more on this guy and use my common sense.
Sereda is a wannabe name-dropper who has
no scientific background, but slings around terminology without
knowing what he is talking about. He gets things wrong very
often as in another piece claiming that a nuclear explosion
produces 200 Million electron volts. That is the energy produced
in one single fission event. Only off by a million billion
billion or so for a bomb.
It is a shame Dan Akroyd has worked with him... I heard his
MUFON talk and have watched a video. Just what we don't need.
