It’s too bad Watson responded with “I’m not,” because that’s not the point. Many of us may not be astronomers, amateur or not. But we know when we see something that’s out of place. Yes, of course, misidentifications occur or natural phenomena can look pretty strange at times. But overall, when something hugely bizarre happens, it’s hugely bizarre, and being “qualified” has nothing to do with ones ability to look up at the night (or daytime) sky.
Mcgaha sticks his foot in it. He’s all over the place in his obsession to discombobulate. He also had this to say about the existence of UFOs:
I'm saying there's no evidence that there are UFOs. UFOs are basically a myth and magical superstition belief system by many people that these alien spacecraft are flying around here. There's simply no evidence that they are.
He knows better. He just has to. He’s supposedly an intelligent and educated man. And yet he has no problem with being disingenuous. It’s either that, or he’s ignorant. I have a hard time believing he’s really that ignorant. So his stance that there “are no UFOs” is intentional; and I’ll go further --unethical. Here’s why.
He’s not saying there’s no evidence for alien craft, or aliens. He’s saying there’s not evidence for UFOs. Unidentified Flying Objects. He’s the one choosing to blend UFOs and alien spacecraft into one entity. And why does he, and others like him, do this? To distract from the issue.
As long as you insist UFOs are alien spacecraft which don’t exist because there’s no evidence, you have it made. You don’t have to deal with anything, with the witnesses, film, video, photos or other data. You can sit smug and steadfast in your chair, repeating over and over again that people are mistakening lights in the sky as UFOs. And since few of us are “qualified” to look at the night sky! we don’t know what we’re talking about.
I saw a craft once that was huge, and blotted out the night sky and stars. It was all one thing; one huge triangle thing. But maybe I’m wrong; after all, according to Mcgaha, I’m not qualified to look at the sky at night. Mcgaha would like to believe that what I saw wasn’t a UFO but a ... well, I don’t know what he’d say, other than a “misinterpretation” of something. He’d also like to say, I’m sure, that my sighting was merely my superstitious nature indulging itself, except I don’t make the mistake of assuming -- as Mcgaha does -- that every UFO is from outer space. I have no idea if what I saw was an alien craft or one of ours. It could be an alien craft, sure. The fact that I entertain the idea that aliens are here, right now, doesn't mean I “believe” in them, any more than I believe in recent zoological discoveries, like the shrub toad. It’s neat and wondrous but I’m not going to start praying to it.
