Someone asked why I thought Robert Bigelow had gotten nowhere with UFO reports and the various files he purchased from MUFON and Ufologists.
Well, you can have as many UFO reports as you want describing flight patterns, etc but it will not tell you how UFOs are powered, etc. You can also add confusion by including natural phenomena (UNP) in amongst the UFO reports meaning that you have a confusing muddle of data.
Buy as many files of abductions as you like but you will find a mixed bag of sleep paralysis, hypnagogic hallucinations, psychological cases and all added to by unscrupulous 'researchers' so that it is all a mess.
"The pattern behind the landings" -I can tell you after 50 years there is NO pattern. There are similarities between the entities and how they dress and act in reports and many of these have been overlooked for decades because Ufologists do not study CE3K encounters just milk anyone who comes forward until the money dries up.
I have three sets of samples found following UFO incidents and guess what? Not a single UFO organisation able to analyse (a couple offers to take them off my hands as they know they can make money) or suggest labs. One analysis found one of the fragments a complete mystery -interest? None.
You have to be honest and know your data and what you are dealing with and not just make up stuff to get a bonus.
Bigelow's mistake was depending on known grifters and people who were only interested in filling their bank accounts.
