How to crack a case from the UFO files

Here's an excellent point...

Quote:

However much we are comfortable in entrusting our lives to airline pilots, a blind trust in their abilities as trained observers of aerial phenomena is sometimes a stretch. For a number of excellent and honorable reasons, pilots have often been known to overinterpret unusual visual phenomena, particularly when it comes to underestimating the distance from what look like other aircraft.
Think of it this way: You want the person at the front of the plane to be hair-trigger alert for visual cues to potential collisions, so avoidance maneuvers can be performed in time. The worst-case interpretation of perceptions is actually a plus.

Heck, up until the end of the USSR, they wouldn't even acknowledge their own plane crashes. Families coming to the airports would be told to just "go home.... no one got on board any aircraft today."

Not surprising that they wouldn't tell anyone inside or outside their country that rockets (let alone their own "Area 51"-type XPlanes) were being test launched.

Well, so they are changing the UFO theory with a soviet conspiracy theory.....dont get me wrong, but seems a bit biased, specially coming from a guy that earns money with the "soviet disasters"......
