Our former pal Bill Murphy, whose Anomalist links have now devolved into stuff that has nothing to do with the current UAP matters extant.
Here's an example from 10/15/24:
Whither UAP Data? Journal of Scientific Exploration
Channeling Allan Hendry's 1979 The UFO Handbook: A Guide to Investigating, Evaluating, and Reporting UFO Sightings, Chris Rutkowski (not Rutowski) considers how UFO reports stand up against six "hard questions" Hendry asked about UFO case data, in this pdf download. The answer: Not Very Well. Rutkowski does delineate what measures "are useful in helping to better understand the phenomena," within their own limitations. (Dr. Hynek's passage in the 2nd column of p.377, "...a highly subjective matter. UNCLEAR We start degree, given the circumstances..." should read "...a highly subjective matter. We start with the assessed credibility of the individuals concerned in the report, and we estimate to what degree, given the circumstances...") Bearing in mind Chris Rutkowski's admonitions, let's make our own evaluations of Tim Binnall's Study Determines Top US Cities for UFO Sightings. But, data and their statistics aside, it's the individual personal accounts that have Thom Nickels asking about UFOs -- Fact or Fiction? Specific sightings/encounters, their aftereffects on the witnesses, and theories as to cause make this more than just a question of numbers and mathematical formulas. (WM)
UFOs have moved into a reality category for enthusiasts and most of the public, but Murphy and others (as pointed out at the Facebook group I administer) are wallowing in material and efforts by long-time, no-longer relevant UFO geezers who are stuck in an outdated UFO era.
No one cares what Rutkowski or Binnall has to say or write; they are out of the UAP loop. And Murphy plus The Anomalist also, sadly.
More about this upcoming and at the active 1,500+ followers at FB's UFOs....The Ufology Network.
