An astronomical mirage??? Ridiculous!!

[Ashphodelic]

I find it quite sad that an obvious intellectual is so convinced of his own theories that he believes them to be implicitly true. To even suggest the theories that he does, borders on the realm of mental disorder... Quite preposterous! And downright rude to boot... The only thing I'd use one of Campbell's books for is lighting a fire!

The idea that this is a giant Venus illusion is just ridiculous. That combined with a once in a lifetime siezure? And this is the mostly likely explanation?? Really??? And I should buy his book to read more of this dribble???? I don't think so.

When in doubt, you can still blame it on the Daleks. :-)) But honestly, it's one of the few supposed UFO cases which is really mysterious and hard to solve. I believe Taylor must have experienced something strange, though whether the objects he encountered actually existed is anyone's guess. The giant Venus refraction idea under the existing conditions is incredibly unlikely, as pointed out by the two astronomers. Still, the theory about him having a weird seizure, etc. isn't as far-fetched.

campbell is crazy

[accidentsinspace]

This Campbell guy is delusional and could merrily convince himself of anything.

[macs19772002]

his mirage theory sucks.theres more chance of it being a ufo than what this guy says never herd

[crogeek]

@TheJunkass yeah - that's LOL of century

@regiusalt no, Occams razor does not make it easy to exclude the UFO hypothesis. Campbell jumps to too many unproven conclutions... Taylor had a once in a lifetime epileptic seizure (never happened before in medical history) and the mirage theory which has never before been reported or seen.

The problem is that Mr. Campbell is not a UFO sceptic, he is a UFO denier like you. A sceptic person is still open to the possibility that it may have been a UFO. UFO does not mean little green men and such.
