And this....
"During a recent radio interview I was asked, in effect, whether I thought that Chasing UFOs was a CIA ploy, considering how dreadful it is and how it will undoubtedly impact, in a very negative manner, public and scientific perceptions about the legitimacy of studying the phenomenon.
My answer was, basically, “Who knows?” I then said it was more likely that the show’s producers were merely doing a job, pumping out product, and hoping to capitalize on the popularity of another mostly-abysmal “reality” series on the History Channel, UFO Hunters. The dumbing-down of ufological research, as presented on TV, certainly can not be laid on Nat Geo’s doorstep alone. (Don’t get me started on the other “UFO documentary” series currently appearing on the History-2 channel, Ancient Aliens. That travesty makes Chasing UFOs seem scholarly by comparison.)"
