I have faith that they KNOW what they are saying about what they are observing. What *credentials do detractors have and are they as impeccable as the pilots'? What are the debunker's goals? Proving UFO requires a proof, and the US (via military, security agencies) had a program to dispel the fear of things that were unknown and over which they had no control by discrediting the observes by debunking, regardless of the proof (photos, actual materials collected, and military equipment reactions to UFO encounters).
*Philip J. Klass was a highly respected Electrical Engineer Professor, Harvard, Nasa...who was a "researcher" of UFO reports was likely a paid government debunker to quell the fear of the UFO phenomenon by nixing reports.
