Hello all:
I have one _really_ large UFO on record here, witnessed by a
Japan Airlines pilot and crew.

list of hundreds of sources on this web page:

I suggest people read the literature before making wild
claims. Having gone thru those hundreds of sources, some
of them journals dating back to the 1950s, I cannot recall
any UFOs "the size of a small town". The JAL Walnut was
described as 1 or 2 miles in size .. a definite anomaly
in these data!
Would anyone like to substantiate claims of " Many UFO
sightings have shown ships far bigger than 1-2 miles also,
some as big as 25 miles in diameter." .. with _references_?
I'm hoping for something less evanescent than the Weekly
World News of course.
As for " That is very amusing, a craft the size of a small
town designed for just the release and retrieval of
baseballs, ops mini probes. R_I_G_H_T....."
I must absolutely insist that nobody put words in my mouth.
That is dishonest and insulting.
Nowhere did I make such a statement. I can see very large
craft where appropriate, perhaps way out in the asteroid belt
.. but even that is sheer speculation on my part. IF that's
true, medium sized craft could come to Earth, perhaps carrying
really small scouting probes to snoop here and there.
Once as a guest at the home of Jacques Vallee (and half
juiced on some nice red wine) I tossed out the question
whether there might be a lower limit to the size of
UFO craft. Vallee immediately retorted that "The lower
limit is the molecule!"
Now for "millions of abductions" (presumably alien ABDs)
That is a world class "extraordinary claim" if I ever
saw one, and as often said, it requires extraordinary proof.
Can anyone substantiate that? Small numbers of ABDs are
at least consistent with a scientific survey of Earth.
ABD experiencers would give _anything_ to fully substantiate
just ONE abduction, to the point where the authorities take
notice. They have worked long and hard to do just that, and
with virtually zero success. Now we have "millions" of them
tossed up as if by proclamation! Sources please! If the
WWN doesn't count (believe me it doesn't), than neither do
late nite talk shows, would-be cult leaders, nor 'blogs' full
of semi-literates parroting one another's BS.
My method is one of cautious conservatism. By presenting
data without wild and unsubstantiated claims, I hope that
others will be gently persuaded to look at the data ..
I mean level headed people who are undecided on UFO matters.
Then out come the yahoos with wild claims, making the
whole field look like complete and utter trash. I must say
that is very frustrating after 20 years of research.
best wishes
