Michael BuschThis is a reminder that UFOs are a social phenomenon based on people misunderstanding things they see.
Nobody should pretend otherwise.
And it remains way past time for news media to stop giving a platform to Avi Loeb.
Juan Carlos Muñoz@michael_w_busch Do I dare ask what he's said now?
The Associated Press unaccountably decided to run a piece that tried to connect Integrity's flight to UFO conspiracists, featuring quotes from Avi Loeb.
(And also quotes from the SETI Institute management further down, but they may not have been told the context they were being interviewed for.)
@michael_w_busch *sigh* why can't we enjoy space for what it is...
AP could have interviewed people actually involved in the mission and skipped the UFO angle.
That would have been actual journalism.
