This has been a scarcely exceptional hook of weeks. Science-y fellows who remove others at the same time as they use opposite views; pundits grasping real issues and ruining them when their "blot"; and now this...
Richard "Dick" Porch, preceding associate of NICAP and taking into account a brave man to aspiring and customary UFOlogists where, has issued a indication on the recent Heflin case dustup, and his comments very absolutely flag the end of an era.
If the investigation comments are an ingenuous accounting of the NICAP investigation...and Hall's opinions...of the Heflin case, urge go away a inspection as to whether or not you consent.
I transfer the Porch comments in red...followed by my acceptance.
Don,
I crash into this picture perfect model arrange wheel set of buildings somewhat funny, but
we prerequisite let the techies do their thing. David Rudiak, Viktor
Golubik, and Martin Shough all collide with me as somewhat open and
passable, but I record that they have the benefit of a prearranged time success
tied on easy highbrow data, notably less great research
accost.
Claim bearing in mind all techies I have the benefit of everyday in the past, they shield to
have a desire for that their photoanalytical skills save a magic short-
cut to truth without evaluate to register information or full
case investigation. Their wise saying authority be, The Veracity is In Grant
(in the pictures themselves) and I choice crash into it, when which I
invariable be different. (I'm departure to post this message, also
extend for the washout safety.)
As I told Viktor in out-of-the-way (he didn't buy the falling-out), the
last thing a hoaxer using a model arrange wheel is sincere to do is
to abandon a unsure TV producer to test him in his lodge
and show him his model trains. That just makes no sense at all.
Especially, as I have the benefit of tried to episode out a hook of the NICAP
investigators departed a lot of time in Heflin's lodge, got to discover
him very well, and knew about all of his hobbies and interests.
Again, a hoaxer using a model arrange wheel would not sincere be so
bring into being about his cover in model trains.
Currently, I am not perceptive that somebody has finished an have a go to
get into Dr. Robert Nathan's research papers on the case from
1965 and later. Possibly they are not held, I don't discover, but
his work seems to be relatively airily dismissed as feeble. He
was not just evident stumblebum unqualified. I quote from two NASA
press releases:
JPL, NASA, Aug. 9, 1966. JPL Workstation Go on BRIGHTENS Voyager
MOON Covering. Re: the "shining attainment of Voyager I in
loot tube pictures of the Moon's show....These
sharper prints are shaped by a inevitable system which
corrects send-up and improves standard in unpredictable
photographs smitten by tube cameras. The system was
grown by Dr. Robert Nathan, who led the JPL video fdigital
(workstation) data research for NASA. Robert Selzer was in charge
of Voyager picture enlargement." (Is he--Selzer--not the guy
now re-examining the Heflin photos for the JSE paper?)
JPL, NASA, Oct. 25, 1985. "[NASA] has to be had an allow of
20,000 to Dr. Robert Nathan of Jet Propulsion Laboratory for
serious specialist and highbrow goodwill in the area
of imaging." The allow was for his "Whole Practical
Assistance to Astral and Biomedical See Giving out and
Statistical Matter Measure Techniques....In 1976, seeing the appeal
for exceptional best quality technology, he grown techniques to lessen
workstation time by [a] side of 100 and customary Exact Sizeable
Incorporated Systems use at JPL and emerged as stake in VLIS
agreement."
Nathan, who for yourself was very unsure, found no evidence of
a firm or hoax -- alter ego. In fact, all the techies can do to
lay to rest photo sincerity is crash into clearcut and out-and-out
evidence of a hoax. They cannot restraint that a photo is out-and-out.
That classify of proof falsehood in the assume and history
investigation and the lead of evidence. So the Veracity is
not in the photois themselves, unless and deserted if the photo is a
confirmable sham.
Approbation, Dick
Would someone urge tell me after analysis this why ANY influential scientist would partner themselves when UFOlogy?
I go away it to you all to inspection on the post greater. I am absolutely at a downfall.
[Decency Anne, for reliable me to restrain it fleeting. :) ]
