If nothing else it's Interesting to see that even James McDivitt believed Charles Hickson had an experience.

Why would he not want anyone to see that video, it doesn't prove anything at all. The astronaut is clearly amused by the line of questioning, he even goes so far as to point out what he thought it was. As for the picture, it's just an uninteresting blob.
It's worth the search and worth sharpening our filtering skills, IMHO.
It's not easy. But the payoff could be unimaginably awesome.
I worked 20+ years in the heart of Mission Control, and if I tell you I never encountered, or heard rumor of, something truly anomalous ['alien'] detected on ANY space flight, is it your knee-jerk response to suggest I'm lying, too? Don't hold back.

Are you sitting down? I agree with you. The tragedy we face now is our current inability to filter out those significant special events from the overwhelming mass of non-extraordinary pseudo-UFOs. It's worth the search and worth sharpening our filtering skills....

But I wonder, then, which UFO sightings Oberg thinks might hint at having been "significant special events"? Someone ask him.
And step one in that objective would involve reducing the UFO stigma, destroying the taboo. But I don't see Oberg working towards any of that. Do you?

Gosh, Jim Oberg sounds so very reasonable when he puts it like that, doesn't he? Commendable, almost.
But I wonder, then, which UFO sightings Oberg thinks might hint at having been "significant special events"?
Someone ask him.
(Unless there's been significant evolution in his UFO thinking, he'll need to preface that answer with yet another "Are you sitting down?")
If Jim Oberg truly cared about humanity's "current inability to filter out those significant special events," he'd support the idea of mainstream science getting involved in the topic, right?
And step one in that objective would involve reducing the UFO stigma, destroying the taboo. But I don't see Oberg working towards any of that. Do you? I see the opposite.
Those of you who are new to the topic, don't be fooled by his keyboarding skills. I'm sure he's a great guy in other ways, but for whatever reason, Jim Oberg is just not intellectually honest when it comes to UFOs. And that's been a matter of public record for decades.

Maybe a more workable approach would have been to visit my website and see what I've already written on exactly that theme -- what evidence would be persuasive?
if you truly cared about separating the UFO signal from the UFO noise, you'd support efforts to get science more involved and the destigmatization of the topic.
