(b)
Those
portions
of
the
problem
that
result
from mass
hysteria
need
to
be
studied
intensively
to
improve
our
understanding of
mass
hysteria
toward
the
end
of
controlling
its
potentially
dangerous
consequences.
(c)
Some
systematic
means
of monitoring
and
observing
should
be
developed
so
as
to
add
well
documented
new
cases
with
specific
reports
of
details
obtained
independently
from
different
observers.

Serious
consideration
might be
given to
the
idea
of
setting
up
a
formal
adversary
proceeding,
modeled
after
our system of
justice.
Just
as
courts
have
attorneys assigned
to
build
the
best
possible
ease for the
prosecution
and
others
to
build
the
best
case for
defense,
we
might have
a
staff
assigned to
build
the
strongest
possible
case for
each
of
the
three
major
explanations
of
UFO
reports.
If
each
had
to
confront
the
others
and
answer
their
criticisms,
we
would
probably
force
a
clearer
focus
on
the
crucial
points
that
need
to
be
settled.
My
closing
comment
returns to
my
starting
point.
The
situation
that
we
face
in
UFO
reports
is
an
exciting
and
challenging
one which
presents
a
rare
scientific
opportunity,
no
matter
whose
interpretation
and
explanation
you
may
accept.
