Back in 1998, Jim Oberg had some uncomplementary
things to say about my "unauthorized" website.
For his June 2003 criticism and my comments
regarding same, click here.

Maybe I should feel 'honored' to have my name used for a "Website" but it certainly is now without any permission or agreement of mine. However, it does make a good point: serious UFO 'debunking' studies aren't answered or refuted, only danced around and made half-witted fun of. That's something I won't argue with! ;-)

Before I could respond,
Bruce Maccabee had something to say.

My own reply to Mr. Oberg.

What do you know.... he acknowledged my site's existence. The following is for distribution. Thanks, J.C. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JC: Mr. Oberg, thanks for your acknowledgement. There are those who would say the rebuttal not as "pitiable" as you seem to think. Is there something specific in the essays you wish to comment upon? :-) Jerry Cohen

Unfortunately, Mr. Oberg refused
to discuss it.

Sorry to temporarily interrupt this "major controversy," but.... ...snip... the following still exists and also needs to be addressed: (How deeply is up to Mr. Oberg) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Re: Mr. Oberg's comments regarding my website ....snip... Is it my imagination or did it get quiet out there? With all the writing I did in the rebuttals, it certainly is not impossible I might have made some mistakes in my thinking or data somewhere. Perhaps Mr. Oberg could cordially help me correct anything he finds? I'd be happy to make any necessary changes if: 1) he would point them out to me 2) we discuss them and 3) the majority of readers agree with his assessment. BTW: It is the same "general innuendo, with minimal or no support" exhibited in Mr. Oberg's post to me, which I find great fault with in his "circa 1983" essay. Respectfully, Jerry Cohen Author: Oberg/Cooper rebuttals Website: http://www.li.net/~rjcohen/ UFOmind: http://www.ufomind.com/ufo/people/c/cohen/
...and that's where we stand at the moment. Anyone
who would like to see this on-line conversation take
place should let him know.
Skeptics, where are you?
