Very much. Maybe there is an element of UFOs as a threat to national
sovereignty, but a great deal more weight should be placed on the
perceived lack of credibility of the phenomenon. Something that gets
dismissed very quickly and lightly by the paper... I honestly think
this is a case of real UFO believers who also happens to be
namedropping postmodernists (actually, their writing is almost too
clear to be proper PoMo). It had to happen. <br>

Academics write the darndest things. I should know, I have spent the
day working on a paper that is unusual even by my standards: the
ultrahyperbolic wave equation in 3+2 dimensions applied to music.<br>
