Frank Warren
The UFO Chronicles
Mornin' CW,
I am now listening to the program as well, and am at the same point; David started out properly in trying to school Mamer about UFOs in using the cloud analogy (which I thought was great); however, going from there and then injecting a competent witness (Johnson) to shore up the notion that UFOs are real, is in essence going backwards.
To use David's analogy again, they're (David & Gene) trying to convince Mamer, that clouds are real.
This evokes the cliche:"Never argue with an idiot, he'll only bring you down to his level and beat you with experience!"
Now I don't employ the platitude in its rudest sense; only that Mamer's statements illuminate the fact of how ignorant he is on the subject matter.
The debate should be "what is the make-up of the cloud?" How did it come to be? etc.
To use another cliche, it's like talking "Trig" to a student who hasn't even started Algebra yet.
Cheers,
Frank
I'm like 20 minutes in and after the following I'm kind of on auto-pilot:
"Based on his background does Kelly Johnson have more credibility then your average person seeing things in the sky?" (paraphrasing)
"No."
:frown:
How do you take someone serious after that?
