"The burden of proof is on you," Loeb says. You can't just say it's new physics because [you] have incomplete data."

Y'know how he knows your data is incomplete? Because HE can't make the physics work.

Aristotle (384–322 BC) attributed ALL meteorite falls to A) the wind, B) stupid observers, C) hoax. His lock on permitted data continued until about 230 years ago. Sound familiar? Hey, at least he got his name in the papers.

Avi has a history of using the old "It's impossible...because it's not possible" circular reasoning fallacy.

You may recall when scientists at Kyiv's Main Astronomical Observatory (MAO) spotted what they thought were UFOs over Ukraine. Avi was adamant that it was artillary without even looking at the evidence. His reason: It's impossible for a craft to fly at such speeds without a heat signature.

Obviously Avi forgot about the tic-tacs seen by Cmdr David Fravor and the crews of the USS Nimitz and Princeton.

Avi basically insulted Kyiv's Main Astronomical Observatory before a peer review of his conclusions.

Twitter noticed and teased Avi mercilously. Guess he still hasn't learned his lesson.

As an aside, the reason the Galileo Project is looking for UFOs in space is because...that's what astronomers do. They look into outer space.

It never occurred to Avi that maybe that's not where the UFOs are.

I'm glad Avi's not a plumber. If he were, he would be probably looking for UFOs in toilets.;-)
