Skilled Investigator
It came out early, finished it yesterday. Walter Bosley doesn't come out looking too hot.
I can't really gauge the value of the book. It did give me some opportunities to observe the faultiness of my thinking, though--there were at least two occasions where certain content triggered a quick and broad judgment ('the UFO subject is all government deception' or 'my God they really have been here')--the second 'conclusion' coming on the heels of a somewhat dramatic interview with Kit Green. Pilkington describes himself going through the same process, but as is typical with the subject, after a few minutes the glow of certainty fades and one returns to question mark status.
Maybe it's just a further lesson in having to accept that the issue will never be settled. That's a nice dream, but for me, my feeble little mind has a very hard time balancing itself comfortably in the middle ground. Perhaps another ten or fifteen similar books will finally complete the re-wiring process.
Anyone else read it yet?
(Also, maybe something of interest--Richard Doty took the author onto Kirtland with no problems, which struck me as odd, as I was under the impression that he had a falling out with the Air Force. The visit was in 2006.)
(Another thing--the book has some discussion of radar with regards to its manipulation by military agencies, which has been in existence for as long as the modern UFO phenomenon...it might take a bite out of radar's status as some sort of sacred evidence...)
