OK. I get the feeling that this is a bunch of academics looking at the Flatwoods problem like it is peculiar to a small town in West Virginia, having its beginning and its ending right there, lasting only one night -- additionally reiterating the discredited explanations of hoaxes, meteors, and backwoods bumpkins to explain 12 foot green monsters wearing skirts with fishbowls on their heads.
Not so, though, when you take one night of recorded turmoil and place it in the context of years of serious involvement by government and military, months of recorded sightings everywhere over the US (in perhaps the biggest UFO flap ever), the "shootdown" order, and the unstinting testimony of the persons involved and recorded in the media of the day, et al.
Just canted academics counting self-important beads and prosecuting the usual hubris regarding things they are not really informed about? I suspect so.
LC, our fly on the wall, is to be commended for pricking the nose-bubbles of these smirking academicians and returning them to reality. I suspect they hate him for it.
That said, Frank Feschino, imo, has written the definitive book on the subject:

The story is more credible than an unthinking West Virginia intelligentsia will allow in ther affected hubris, and the group is singularly unmindful that a true history of the Flatwoods Monster and "Shoot Them Down" is economically fortuitous tourist wise for a West Virginia dying on the federal vine!
I'm not saying they should promote crap for dollars, but promote real history for same... forsaking their uninformed hubris, institutional arrogance, and a further reason to discount a niggardly science... forsake the preceding to be intelligent, progressive and brave.

Yes, it is expected, isn't it? Certain types have no comprehension that there could be more to the universe than what will fit in their incredibly tiny box.
