e.12. I am sure no-one will deny that at the'least- there are
possible rational explanations for the phenomena. Let us now
look at the other side of the coin, the range of explanations
·offered by Lord Clancarty and other ufologi.sts - it is a wide
and confusing range, for there are as many different explanations
as.there are ufologists.
13. Lord Cla~carty has been reported as claiming there have been
some 80,000 sightings. Other ufologists would put the figure even
higher. Now, there is a strange thing about these huge numbers.
To put it in simple terms: either these •space people' prefer to
keep out of the way, or they don't. If they prefer to keep out
of the way, we must assume that the number of 'sightings' is a tiny
proportion of the actual UFO 'sorties•, which must run into
·.·
millions. If they don • t one would expect some unmistakable
appearances.
14. But let us look at their strange track record:
~· Not a single artefact has been produced -not a single
extra-terrestial ch~p has dropped an extra-terrestial
spanner; no bent piecess no prange from perhaps millions
of sorties, no nothing. Lord Clancarty has an answer:
the. CIA has hidden them all.
h. There is no correlative evidence on radar of this huge
number of movements.
C. There has been no radic contact (far easier than space
travel) and no evidence on radioo
tf.There have been no convincing photographs, in these days
when so many p~ople carry cameras.
