How Believers in the Paranormal Birthed the Pentagon's New Hunt for UFOs

[StClone]

51. Klass had a needed place in finding flaws in UFO reports.

However, Klass could not disprove, explain, or deliver on making UFOs irrelevant as cases came up. One thing I do note in Klass's long career is he appeared to avoid having interactions with any equally credited ufo Scientist such as Jacques Vallée https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Vall%C3%A9e

I did not say for certain he was a CIA asset (the FBI had a file on him!), but there were many suspicions.
Many of the suspicions held by UFO folks about Klass and his role as chief debunker were confirmed by the FOIA files though I don’t think they ever found a smoking gun to prove he was acting as a paid agent of AFOSI or CIA.

Seeing your awareness of Klass and your reaction is revealing. I am a Scientist and I required proof to say what is an acceptable theory, along with facts, evidence, studies, peer-reviewed, published works. BUT before that, you need an observed occurrence requiring investigation. UFOS offers at least that.
