  3. Stanton calls questioning UFOs pseudo-science?
    And proposes that the study of something for which evidence is circumstantial at best and anecdotal at worst is actual science?
    And calls himself a scientist?

      No, I think he calls questioning UFOs with such a scant knowledge on the subject pseudo-skeptcism.

    You’ve completely missed Stans point. He is not saying questioning Ufos is pseudo science but rather the lame & superficial treatment by guys such as Plait who completely ignore the strongest data/cases & focus on the mundane weaker cases observed by the public constitutes a sort of pseudo skepticism. Why doesn’t Plait deal with the best military/civil pilot encounters, the radar track cases, physical trace cases? The true test of any explanation is its ability to deal with the best cases not the weakest.
