Danny Silva links to a rather controversial journal paper by Hal Puthoff regarding research strategies for alternate theories regarding the UFO puzzle. Ultraterrestrial Models is that paper, which seems perhaps not fully as “old” as Danny seems to imply, containing references as recent as 2021. Puthoff proposes strategies to test a “non-nuts-and-bolts” UFO hypothesis, listing data appearing to support such. He references Mac Tonnies’ fascinating The Cryptoterrestrials: A Meditation on Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us, published by Anomalist Books. Jason Colavito’s gone alliterative in his attack on the journal article: Hal Puthoff Publishes Pitiful Paper Proposing Plans to Probe Ultraterrestrials challenges the Puthoff piece on fundamental grounds, while claiming it shows “exactly why ufology has failed for 75 years.” (WM)
