I came across a wonderful book today that I’m recommending to all who want to think clearly: An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments
The book teaches sound logical reasoning by illustrating flawed logic. Here’s an example that is ubiquitous within the ufological community. I hear or read it every week. (I hope it’s readable – but the cartoon will be and that says it all):
That’s one good reason to conclude we aren’t dealing with alien visitors. Think about it. If aliens were really visiting the planet during the last 100 years, would their craft really evolve from propeller-powered dirigibles to anti-gravity? Wouldn’t...
This post over at Blue Blurry Lines is a must-read (and must-see visuals) for anyone interested in UFOs. It’s pretty conclusive proof that the photo is real, but has misunderstood and misused. Here’s the photo (just as you’ll usually see it):

I’m reading Incident at Exeter and it’s chock full of regular folks saying this very thing. Fuller’s mystery mongering had a sledgehammeric(TM) subtlety.
I think the bit about “UFOs are unlikely to be aliens visiting from outer space” will be utterly lost on most UFO “believers”… who do not even know the meaning of the UFO acronym. As far as they are concerned, UFO means space ship and they will not be able to follow the logic.
