Since he was studying in good faith, and had already published about it, the fascist hate group CSICOP didn’t have to do much to claim another victory in their war on reason.

I only know what I saw in broad daylight wasn't a meteor, Venus, swamp gas, a B-2, or quad drone.

If it was manmade then we, as a human race, are being ripped off to support a petroleum based energy infrastructure, and the people ripping us off deserve to be lined up against a wall.

Yes, SunkenCiv...it would be easy to intentionally deceive a scientist like Mack. He wasn't looking for a planted liar...he was helping innocent patients deal with their perceived experiences.

If a patient had memories of an abduction which were the product of dreams or stories which were unconsciously created as covers for ritual sexual abuse or other trauma...Mack would have been qualified to identify such.

But a planted liar whose sole purpose was to discredit Mack would be undetectable by a well-meaning psychiatrist.
