http://www.cninews.com/Search/CNI.0307.html RESPONSE TO CARL SAGAN by Dr. Bruce Maccabee [Dr. Bruce Maccabee is an optical physicist and one of America's leading experts on the analysis of UFO photos and film. The December 7 edition of CNI News carried Carl Sagan's latest Parade Magazine article; and we are now pleased to carry Bruce Maccabee's response.] [Jan 24, 1996] -- (second-to-last paragraph only) Try as he may, Dr. Sagan cannot get away from the fact that UFO sightings have been reported under "unimpeachable" conditions, including multiple witness daylight sightings of structured objects (seen well enough so that identification would be immediately obvious if it were possible), multiple radar/visual sightings, multiply witnessed photographic and video sightings and sightings that involved landing traces (several thousand of these on record). It is true that we, the civilian community of UFO investigators, do not have something which we are positive is a piece of a flying saucer. However, there is a mass of circumstantial evidence of the type which, if this were to be tried in a court of law, would be sufficient to prove the case.

After landing safely, the pilot and co-pilot filed a formal "airmiss report," which led to a year-long inquiry by the British Civil Aviation Authority. On February 2, 1996, the CAA issued their report, stating that the mystery craft remained unidentified. In the wake of the CAA's report, BUFORA spokesman Philip Mantle said the mystery aircraft had all the marks of a UFO sighted numerous times over England, known as the "Silent Vulcan."
